In this episode of Move Over Mama, we sit down with Micks (Michaela Cook) — an Australian country artist whose journey is as powerful as it is heartbreaking. 🎤✨

• The heartbreaking moment before her wedding
• Putting her career on hold for family
• Growing up in a musical household
• Turning pain into purpose through music
