EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Kristina Durante and Chris Williamson, Can Women Have A Career And A Family? - Kristina Durante explores modern Women, Ancient Instincts: Careers, Mating, and Unavoidable Trade‑offs Chris Williamson and evolutionary psychologist Kristina Durante explore whether women can realistically 'have it all' in terms of high-powered careers and fulfilling family lives, arguing that deep evolutionary wiring and modern structures create hard trade‑offs rather than easy win‑wins.
