Amira’s life has been defined by early adversity, including the loss of young family members to illness, accidents, and mental health issues. These experiences instilled in her a deep empathy and a drive to alleviate suffering.
Becoming a mother to a child with cerebral palsy at 20 further shaped her journey, fostering resilience and determination in navigating single parenthood.
At 35, burdened by debt and lacking formal education, Amira embarked on a transformative path. She immersed herself in learning, earning certifications in disability care, personal training, life coaching, spending planning, bookkeeping, accounting, and business management.
Founding “Your Money Habit” in 2017, she initially focused on financial empowerment but later expanded her scope to holistic support for micro-business owners, addressing health, wealth, and business development.
Amira is dedicated to helping others overcome adversity through her experiences and expertise,. She empowers individuals and businesses to thrive, offering guidance in financial management, personal development, and holistic well-being.
Her newsletter ‘Happy, Healthy, Wealthy and Free was born from this dedication, find it here: https://bit.ly/hhwfNews

🎙️ ABOUT KINTSUGI HEROES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Kintsugi Heroes is a not-for-profit Australian podcast network sharing real stories of resilience, disability, and transformation.
Named after the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold — the philosophy that what’s been broken can become more beautiful for the mending — every episode honours the cracks, the rebuild, and the human underneath.
We believe every story matters. Every scar has something to say. And every person quietly finding their way through deserves to be heard.
🏷️ Topics we cover: resilience, disability, trauma recovery, mental health, transformation, lived experience, chronic illness, neurodiversity, grief, identity, community, caregiving, refugee stories, animal therapy, ageing, older Australians, wellbeing, invisible illness, inclusion, personal growth, hope, rebuilding, human connection, Australian stories
