Ever wondered what happens when a young geologist, told she'd only ever be the "token female," decides to prove everyone gloriously wrong? Here's Helen Degeling, whose journey has careened from academia, to surviving a decidedly un-gentlemanly welcome at a Pilbara gold mine, to doing fieldwork seven months pregnant in 38-degree heat. Helen's is a tale of resilience, career pivots, and finding purpose in surprising places: a triumph of grit, gumption, and the good sense to know when to chase what truly matters.
