The Artemis Diaries

The Artemis Diaries

The Artemis Diaries is a podcast for animal-loving youth and women who want to work with animals but don't know what path to take. We talk to biologists, veterinarians, trainers, breeders, and keepers alike discussing the highs and lows of life and how animals play into these women's daily lives. We touch on hard to discuss topics like captive animals, behavioral euthanasia, animal husbandry and the way that women are raising the standards. Follow along with us, and hopefully you learn something new with me.

Cristina is such an amazing woman and I'm so glad to have her on my podcast for you all to listen to today! I found her while doom scrolling Facebook and boy am I glad I did.

And the smallest one is only 8 inches long?! We discuss caves and the things we learn from ...

I had Lyssa from Lyssa's Lizards from Tik Tok on the pod! She and I talk about how complicated keeping multiple animals can become, from medical costs, emotional tolls of death and caging upgrades, it can really be draining. These animals watch us grow up and take the brunt of our mistakes. Talking to Lyssa really made me reprioritize what I am doing with my business and the animals I am caretaking, and I am so thankful for that! ...

Sophia and I had a chat about things that not a lot of people want to discuss, which I'm am really thankful for her about. She and I are incredibly similar, which I'm finding to be an interesting trend as I adventure through the podcast. It's a longer chapter, sorry not sorry 😂 but really worth a listen.  Follow her here on Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@emeraldinferni?_t=8ihk9FKUdG2&_r=1

Ariel is a Tik Toker who does content about wild Killer Whales on the coast of Washington. She tells us stories from the woman led pods and how they survive in a world that we as humans have destroyed. Their stories are about loss and perseverance. I c...

Seana and I had a wonderful chat about her living all of our dreams by working as a zookeeper! She is such a bright and wise young woman, I know I know I’m not that old… but I feel like I’ve lived 70 lifetimes ok. One of my favorite things about talking to so many amazing women is I learn so much about myself. They encourage me to continue doing the work I am doing, and that I have earned my knowledge and my place here. So Seana, t...

Dr. Jenn Shuck and I talked about some pretty heavy stuff in this Chapter. Becoming a veterinarian is one that is pushed to many animal-loving people, but we don't know the realities of becoming one. The expenses, the mental toll, and the lack of pay. Being a vet can be so so rewarding, but we wanted to make sure you knew the realities as well. If you are in Vet Med and are feel...

I know I have been keeping you all waiting for WAY too long. I just wanted to give a quick disclosure before I moved on and started publishing the rest of my episodes. All opinions are either my own or my guests and we can change those opinions at any time moving forward with our lives. Keeping animals is not linear, it is a constant journey.
