27. $18K/Year to $17K in 3 Days, Surrendering to the Hard Stuff & Choosing Your Most Interesting Life with Spaced by T Founder, Tina Patel


Fun Money with Jess McKinley Uyeno | $18K/Year to $17K in 3 Days, Surrendering to the Hard Stuff & Choosing Your Most Interesting Life with Spaced by T Founder, Tina Patel

What happens when life hands you grief, loss, and uncertainty, and instead of forcing your way through it, you choose to trust yourself anyway? In this episode, I’m joined by my first-ever client guest, Tina Patel, founder of Spaced by T, whose business growth mirrors a much deeper personal transformation. Two years ago, Tina’s business brought in about $18,000 over an entire year. This week, she created nearly that same amount in just a few days.


Tina’s story is not about perfectly timed strategies or following a traditional business growth formula. It’s about developing the decision-making skill that supports everything else, learning to stay grounded through hard seasons, and allowing life to deepen her rather than derail her. While navigating divorce and the loss of her mother, Tina chose presence over pressure and self-trust over self-criticism. That inner shift changed how she related to money, clients, and herself.


Join me this week for a conversation about surrendering without giving up, building self-trust when circumstances feel uncertain, and choosing a life that feels interesting, rooted, and alive. Tina’s experience is a reminder that money can still feel expansive and even fun, not because life is easy, but because you are willing to meet it honestly and move forward anyway.


Join me in The Mission, a monthly Business Coaching Membership designed for women with big visions for their life and business. No one on the planet is teaching time and money to women in this way, so get ready to unlock a level of business owner that you didn't know was in you!


What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

  • Why decision-making is the skill underneath sales, marketing, and business growth.

  • How personal hardship can strengthen self-trust rather than stall momentum.

  • What shifts when you stop undercharging and begin pricing from clarity and confidence.

  • How releasing shame around money creates space for cleaner financial choices.

  • Why compassion for yourself can deepen trust with clients and lead to better opportunities.

  • How focusing on who you are becoming changes the way money flows into your life.

  • A simple storytelling exercise that helps you see yourself with more perspective and grace.
