Host Monem Salam sits down with Hamna Zaheer, founder of Lushed Up Finance and creator of the Halal Wealth Autopilot Academy, to discuss her journey from living paycheck to paycheck to building a $250,000 halal investment portfolio while raising three young children. Drawing on her experience and work with Muslim women in the US and Canada, Hamna explains common “leaky bucket” money problems, lifestyle creep, and financial avoidance, and how values‑based planning and investing can help families move toward goals like Hajj, Islamic schooling, homeownership, and early retirement.
