This story is a fantasy. We’ve got witches and vampires and aliens and hatchlings abound. Even some torture devices, to add to the medieval flavor. And if you haven’t caught on already, I’m talking about parenthood.

Today, we dive deep into my biggest transition yet: motherhood. More specifically, shifting into motherhood while also working as a career artist in the animation field. Julia Pott joins the conversation with her own unique perspective.
