Even as a teenager, Michelle Owen was always prepared to challenge stereotypes. Her love of football has always been with her and when she was forced to play netball at school, she did ‘keepie-uppies’ with the ball until she got sent to the corner.
After a spell as breakfast DJ, she’s now doing the job she loves – reporting on football on Sky Sports and Radio 5 Live.
In this podcast, there is a recurring theme of overcoming adversity from succeeding in a male dominated career through to fighting the debilitating illness, Hyperemesis Gravidarm, during pregnancy.
