Dr. Susan Landers spent 34 years as a neonatologist while raising children and being a wife to a pediatric nephrologist. She talks with Kim about the challenges of "doing it all" and the depression that set in about a year after her third child was born. Everyone else in her family was adjusting to life in Texas but she was not happy and didn't know what to do until a friend recommended she talk with a psychiatrist. This conversation led her to share about feeling like she was spinning plates and the simple question: "why don't you take down some plates?" Listen to the whole conversation about how to deal with feeling like we women have to do "all the things" and knowing when to take the time to take care of us.

@drsusanlanders https://susanlandersmd.com/   Girls who grew up in the 1950s Deep South had little to no cultural nudge to pursue a career in any field, let alone in medicine. This story of Dr. Susan Landers' ability to catapult herself into the world of top-notch academic medicine while mothering 3 children amidst the twists and turns inherent in her physician husband's own advancement is truly something to behold. Did I mention after moving cross country with three little ones, she also pioneered a grant funded Mother's Milk Bank and eventually led the Section for Breastfeeding at the American Academy of Pediatrics? So Many Babies were lucky to have a doctor with so much grit.   Prominent themes in the daily lives of doctors and mothers are the themes of Susan Landers' life: Teaching and Quality Improvement. And she dealt with complications in both. From navigating complex workplace issues beyond patient care to managing crises at home including accidents, behavioral issues, unfathomable nanny emergencies and the teenage years in general. Susan has seen more than her fair share, and So Many Babies is her love letter to any mother tackling medicine and motherhood together.   As she deftly navigated medicine and motherhood, I would argue Dr. Susan Landers is not “Good Enough Mom” as she had to sometimes convince herself, or even “Super Mom” as her husband and children dubbed her one Mother's Day with a glittery homemade broach, but actually "Wonder Woman” complete with bullet proof arm cuffs, a golden lasso and that trulsty invisible jet we all used to want to ride in. Truly, Susan is a superheroine. Not only did she use her super powers to nutture her own 3 children at home, not to mention the countless tiny ones she healed in the NICU, but she shares them again today in So Many Babies as she reassures today's Dr. Moms by revealing her own truths and vulnerability   From Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and self-imposed time-outs to sewing Halloween costumes and eventually sending herself monthly bouquets, Dr. Susan Landers offers today's moms in medicine plenty of actionable ideas to ‘heal the healer' as she explores the fine line between a complete devotion to her patients and the insidious way a medical career can overtake marriage and family life.   After completing medical school in Charleston, South Carolina, Susan moved to Texas and completed pediatrics residency at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, and neonatology fellowship at Texas Children's Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. Dr.Landers practiced full-time neonatology (the intensive care of critically ill premature and newborn infants) for thirty-four years. Initially she worked in academic medicine, on the faculty of two medical schools, Baylor College of Medicine and University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Later in her career, she worked for Mednax, a private neonatology practice in Austin, for twenty-two years. Susan raised three children while practicing medicine full-time. Her children presented her and her physician husband with many challenges over the years, trials and struggles which she considers typical for all working mothers. She wrote a book about her experiences: "So Many Babies: My Life Balancing a Busy Medical Career and  Motherhood." For many years, Susan worked for the American Academy of Pediatrics as an expert in breastfeeding medicine, writing policy and teaching at national conferences. She has been interviewed by many news outlets about her work using donor human milk in the NICU and her work with the Mother's Milk Bank of Austin. She currently resides in Austin, TX.

Susan has 34 years of experience in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). She practiced in academic medicine (on faculty of two medical schools) and in private practice.

She and her physician husband raised three children (now all young adults) while they both practiced medicine full time. She recently wrote a memoir called "So Many Babies: My life Balancing a Busy Medical Career and Motherhood." Susan enjoys recounting some of her best, and worst, experiences of being a working mother, and how she managed to stay resilient. She shares with other working mothers many things she learned along her journey as a busy mother and successful doctor.She attended medical school at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston and completed her pediatrics residency at University of Texas Southwestern Medical School and Parkland Hospital in Dallas.

Are you a helicopter mama and you don't even know it? Is your most infamous line, “Be careful!” (okay, mine is too…). Is it hard to let your kids take risks, make mistakes, figure out their problems on their own? I brought Susan Landers back on today to share what we need to know as we raise a family and keep up a career, and we're also going to touch on some tips to overcoming being a helicopter parent. Any of you labeled as that? I'm sure my kids think I am. It's a hard balance, isn't it? But if we want to raise responsible and independent adults, we also need to learn how to hold our children loosely and not helicopter over their every move. How do we do this?  RESOURCES MENTIONED Susan's website: https://susanlandersmd.com Connect with Susan on Instagram @susanlandersmd Connect with Susan on Facebook @susanlandersmd Connect with Susan on LinkedIn @susanlandersmd Book: So Many Babies: My Life Balancing a Busy Medical Career and Motherhood: https://amzn.to/31Gg9nK CONNECT WITH ME Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/4mindfulmamas Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gabecox_redhotmindset/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/redhotmindset

Battling burnout, struggling to be a better mom, and finding balance are some of the biggest concerns of physician mothers. I'm so glad to share this conversation with an actual voice of experience, Dr. Susan Landers. She join me to talk about how she embraced “good enough,” embraced being a working mom, and found balance in her home and career.   Key Takeaways Take care of yourself.  Find out what makes you feel really good about yourself and really fulfilled, do that. A lot. Give yourself permission to do what fulfills you. Give yourself a pat on the back.  Have some self-compassion! We're too hard on ourselves as physician moms. You're going to be okay.   About Dr. Susan Landers Dr. Susan Landers is a retired neonatologist with 34 years of NICU experience. She practiced in academic medicine (on faculty of two medical schools) and in private practice. She has special expertise in breastfeeding medicine and human donor breastmilk banking. She currently lives in Austin, Tx. Susan raised three children (now all young adults) with her physician husband while they both practiced medicine full time. In her memoir called "So Many Babies: My Life Balancing a Busy Medical Career and Motherhood,” she talks about some of her best, and worst, life experiences, and how she managed to stay resilient. Susan enjoys sharing the things she learned during her journey as an ambitious, successful doctor who raised three children while working full-time. Susan attended medical school at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston and completed a pediatrics residency at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas. Her neonatology fellowship was completed at Texas Children's Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.   On Struggling with Burnout and Balance Dr. Susan Landers begins our conversation today by sharing her experience of burnout. It's something she struggled through for much of her career in academia before choosing to set some boundaries that supported her as a mother, wife, and physician. She offers some advice for new and mid-career physicians from her experience tackling burnout. Susan gives some tips for how you can ask for help, especially when you're struggling to. We all know asking for help isn't the easiest thing to do! She also shares some incredible advice her therapist gave her about how many plates she's balancing and how that helped her realize what her priorities actually were. By focusing on what she could actually control, instead of all the things that were out of her control, Susan felt like she was better equipped to create balance in her life.   On Becoming a Working Mom One of Susan's biggest struggles was coming to terms with the fact that she was a good enough mom. There's so much pressure on working moms to be perfect in all aspects of life, especially as a mother and a physician.  After twenty years, she finally understood that she was a working mom and that that is a totally okay and acceptable thing to be. Now Susan's goal is to continue being good enough. We don't need to be perfect; we just need to be good enough. Finally, Susan explains how her supportive community and friends, the people outside her husband and children, are an essential part of creating balance in her life. She knows she can seek conversation, support, and advice from them whenever she needs it. Are you struggling with being the perfect mom and physician? It's so understandable. I would love it if you tried to adopt the “good enough” mantra this year and see how that changes your life.

And where can they be used?'” [15:11] “I struggled to feel like a good enough mom for twenty years. It took me a long, long time, and my dear husband telling me I am a good enough mom, to feel that way. We work so much and we miss so much. We want to be involved in everything our children do, but we all love medicine and we love our job! We love taking care of other people, but we also want to take care of our kids. We're in a position our whole careers to not be good enough because we're doing other things besides being a mom. Just accept that who you are is a working mom.” [21:10] “I think the working moms, especially physician moms, try so hard to be good enough, but they need to stop and say to themselves, ‘I am doing the best that I can. I am a physician and I am a mother and I am doing the best job I can. I'm not going to be perfect but I'm going to be good enough.” [23:16]   Resources Mentioned Join G.O.A.L.S.
