Our story
The idea for Talented Ladies Club was born when freelance copywriter Hannah Martin realised that so many of her friends were struggling to resume their careers after having children.
These were successful, talented and ambitious women who should have had no problem earning good money in jobs they loved… if only the world understood the value of mothers.
Hannah reasoned that if she knew so many talented but frustrated women in her own social circle there must be thousands – if not millions – of women feeling the same all over the world. And at that time there was no inspiring and empowering online content talking to them.
So Hannah decided to create her own.
She enlisted the help of her good friend, designer and illustrator Kary Fisher, and together the two of them brought Talented Ladies Club to life in 2013.
Hannah and Kary wanted to create an inspiring resource that would show women that becoming a mother wasn’t the end of their career – it could be the start of an exciting new adventure.
Today, Talented Ladies Club has grown to over 100,000 monthly readers around the world, and includes an academy of high quality training courses and masterclasses to help women grow their businesses and careers.
We’ve also been featured extensively on TV, radio and in national newspapers and magazines.

How we ensure Talented Ladies Club is a safe space for you
As our influence has grown, it’s become increasingly important to us that we use it for good. And that means standing up for the things we believe in.
Things like fairness, equality, helping people who have fewer opportunities, and stopping predatory people and businesses who seek to make money from women (and men) at any cost. That’s why we call out the six-figure business cons, and do our best to expose the MLM business model for what it is.
We want this to be a safe space where you can learn and connect to opportunities in full confidence that they have your best interests at heart.
The charities and organisations we support
We also support charities and causes that share our mission to unlock the potential of mothers and their families, and generally make the world a better place for us all to live in. These causes include:
- The charity The Microloan Foundation, who provide the poorest women in sub-Saharan Africa with the tools and skills to enable them to work their own way out of poverty.
- The charity Children of Sumatra who provide plastic surgery, dentistry, financial support and medical care for children with cleft palettes across Sumatra to develop a better quality of life for children with this deformity and their families.
- The charity Baraka Community Partnerships who develop schools, promote healthcare and instigate water and sanitation projects, to galvanise communities to build their own sustainable, self-sufficient futures.
- Work for Good, an organisation who make it easier for businesses to donate money to charities.
- Pregnant then Screwed, an organisation that protects, supports and promotes the rights of mothers who suffer the effects of maternity and pregnancy discrimination.
