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.
