Pursuing a career while having and raising small children (and completing a Master's degree), has presented many challenges (unsurprising), especially in the field of Cultural Resource Management Archaeology. In this episode I walk through my path thus far and discuss some of my frustrations with this particular industry with respect to the structural barriers to primary caregivers. In a follow-up episode I will carry this discussion forward, focusing on prioritization and being a poor capitalist ;) Look for that one in a few weeks! As always, if you'd like to reach me you can do so in the following ways:

P.S. It has come to my attention that Spotify and Google Podcasts do not have a rate/review function. If you are using one of these platforms the best ways to support the podcast for now is to Follow or Subscribe. If you are on Instagram, sharing some of the content from the podcast page there is also very helpful. Thank-you! xo
