About this listen

What if money isn’t just something you manage, but a game you were never taught to win? Fun Money is the podcast for ambitious women who want more than just business success. Whether you’ve built a profitable company and feel secretly boxed in… or you’re wildly creative but still under-earning… this is where we stop playing by outdated rules and start building wealth that makes you even more of who you are. Hosted by Jessica McKinley Uyeno, Fun Money is your playbook for full-spectrum wealth: six distinct games - earning, spending, saving, investing, having, and giving - that aren’t about perfection, but flow. It’s about shifting from possibility to inevitability, learning to get a dopamine hit from saving as much as spending, and letting your business fund the bold, interesting life you’re meant to lead. Each week, Jess blends strategy with self-expression to help you unlearn tired money thinking, embrace “unhinged” beliefs, and become the Monopoly banker of your own life. Trigger warning: This is a next-level money conversation, taking you to a place that might feel uncomfortable. Expect powerful solo riffs, practical frameworks, and unfiltered conversations with the most interesting women in business… because the most lucrative path is usually the one that breaks the rules.© SINCERELY, FUTURE YOU | 2025 Economics Leadership Management & Leadership Social Sciences

  • 16. Soul Work, Money Shame & Selfish Generosity with The Philanthropic Femme Adi Shakti
    Nov 6 2025

    Let’s talk about something that gets totally overlooked in money conversations: the giving game. We’re all obsessed with hitting big revenue milestones and stacking cash, but guess what? Philanthropy is a character quality - it’s not some end-of-the-road financial milestone that only gets unlocked once you hit a certain number.

    I sit down with Adi Shakti, aka The Philanthropic Femme, and trust me, this conversation is fire. She’s redefining what it means to be a philanthropist. For Adi, it’s not about writing giant checks once you hit some wealth threshold. It’s about giving from wherever you are on your money journey, and, surprise, surprise, it feels so much better when you make it part of the everyday hustle.

    Join us this week as we dive into why it’s time to remove the shame around giving, how to balance earning and giving without feeling like a martyr, and why philanthropy isn’t just a luxury for the “wealthy.” Adi’s examples prove that you can start small and still make a huge difference. And the best part? Doing good feels good, and it doesn’t need to wait until your bank account hits seven figures.

  • 15. Create Your Fun Money Bucket List (& Is Gambling Fun Money?)
    Oct 30 2025

    Money doesn’t have to be a snoozefest of spreadsheets and autopay transfers running quietly in the background of your life. When you build wealth without any emotional connection or fun, you’re missing the best part — it can actually be a game.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down the six money mastery games: earning, spending, saving, investing, having, and giving, and showing you how to turn each one into something you actually want to play. You’ll learn how to create your own Fun Money Bucket List, a system that transforms financial discipline into a challenge that feels energizing instead of heavy.

  • 14. The Fun Part of Financial Literacy (No Beige Spreadsheets)
    Oct 23 2025

    Do you ever catch yourself saying these words? ”I don't know if I'm on track…”, "I don't know if I can afford to…" or, ”I don't know enough about investing…"

    Women who've been making money for years often find themselves frozen when it comes to the bigger financial moves. That uncertainty around money decisions isn't just uncomfortable. It’s actively costing you future wealth. But here's the truth: financial literacy doesn't have to be boring spreadsheets and complex jargon. It can actually be... fun. (Yes, really!)


    For the first time ever, I'm condensing nearly a decade of money mastery teachings into a high-touch, six-week mini-mind. This week, you’ll hear how this program addresses the three pillars that create true financial literacy, and each week, we'll work through your custom game strategy for all six money games.
