Show Notes

Dr. Susan Landers joins the conversation to dismantle the myth of the “supermom.” Drawing from her decades as a neonatologist and mother of three, she explains that success for working mothers isn’t about endurance — it’s about infrastructure. From spouses and childcare to mentorship and emotional reinforcement, Dr. Landers makes a compelling case that support systems are not optional add-ons. They are the foundation. Without them, burnout is predictable. With them, fulfillment becomes sustainable.
