Few people know more about growing up in the limelight than our first guest, Mara Wilson. 

Mara starred in the ‘90s blockbusters Mrs Doubtfire, Miracle on 34th Street and Matilda... all before the age of ten. 

But when you’ve grown up meeting the Queen and going to parties at Danny DeVito’s house, is it possible to have a ‘normal’ adult life?

Find out how Mara’s parents kept her grounded, how she coped with OCD after the loss of her mother and which Harry Potter actor Mara swears is her double.

In this episode we discuss mental health struggles. There’s no shame in asking for help. 

Mara supports these charities:
