The Boss Mums Circle
Hi there, I’m Carly, running my own award-winning wedding business while raising my family. I know the juggle first hand. I get it!
During my time at a local radio station, I created a weekly feature spotlighting women balancing motherhood with their businesses. Their stories of determination and resilience blew me away every week.
Those conversations sparked my idea of The Boss Mum Circle. What started as a radio segment in September 2024 became a movement by January - a private Facebook community where women support each other, celebrate wins, and connect through networking sessions.
Now I’m moving from radio to podcasting for the raw, authentic conversations that matter. This is where ambitious mothers share real stories - the triumphs, struggles, and everything in between.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions around addiction, drug use, and suicidal thoughts. Listener discretion is advised.
In this deeply moving episode of the Boss Mums Circle Podcast, I sit down with Hannah Martinig, a talented professional photographer, devoted mother, and supportive wife. Hannah opens up about her family’s journey through her husband’s battle with addiction and how it impacted every aspect of her life, marriage, and mental health.
For years, Hannah carried the weight of her husband’s struggles—navigating the uncertainty, emotional toll, and stigma that often comes with addiction. The strain pushed her to breaking point, leaving her with suicidal thoughts and questioning whether her marriage could survive.
Now on the other side, Hannah is bravely sharing her story to inspire and support women walking similar paths. Her openness offers comfort to mothers, wives, and partners who feel isolated in the face of a loved one’s addiction.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Hannah’s raw and honest journey through her husband’s addiction.
- The mental health challenges she faced as a mother and wife during the darkest times.
- How Hannah found strength, hope, and resilience when everything felt impossible.
- Why she now uses her story to empower other women who may be facing addiction in their families.
Why this episode matters:
Addiction doesn’t just affect the individual—it ripples through families, marriages, and children’s lives. This conversation sheds light on the silent battles many women fight behind closed doors and reminds us that healing, hope, and community are possible.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by a loved one’s addiction or struggled with your own mental health as a result, Hannah’s story will resonate deeply.
