Are You Michelle from Skins?

Mickey Sumner

This week I welcome my friend Mickey Sumner onto the podcast. We met when we were both working on the film “Caught” and have remained friends ever since. Mickey has recently published an essay in Romper where she discusses mothering her son with disabilities and her experiences with postpartum anxiety. It's raw, brave and honest and I urge you all go and read it here: https://www.romper.com/parenting/what-i-know. In this episode Mickey speaks about what fame and success mean to her, how that has been shaped by having traditionally ’successful’ parents in Sting and Trudie Styler, and how motherhood has since flipped those notions on their head.
