Real talk, real tools, and real moms who found their way back to themselves. You are keeping everyone alive.

The lunches, the deadlines, the school pickups, the late-night worrying. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, you lost track of yourself. Moms Matter: From Burned Out to Balanced is a podcast series by Dr. Susan Landers for the mother who is running on empty and wondering why doing everything right still leaves her feeling wrong.

Each episode brings together doctors, therapists, coaches, and moms who have been exactly where you are and found a way through. We talk about working mom burnout, the mental load women carry, anxiety, identity loss, perfectionism, financial stress, relationship strain, and the quiet crisis that happens when you give everything to everyone else.

No toxic positivity. No pretending it is easy. Just honest conversations and practical tools for mothers who are ready to stop surviving and start feeling like themselves again.

If you are a mom who is exhausted, stretched thin, struggling with anxiety or burnout, feeling invisible in your own life, or trying to figure out who you are outside of your kids and your career, you are in exactly the right place.

New episodes explore working mom burnout, the mental load, anxiety, identity, and real tools to help mothers feel like themselves again.

  • Burnout Is Why You Wake Up Tired After a Full Night

    Burnout Is Why You Wake Up Tired After a Full Night
    Aug 6 2026
    Burnout rarely arrives as collapse. It arrives as a full night of sleep that changes nothing, coffee you need just to function, and small decisions that suddenly feel impossible. That is not a discipline problem. It is a body that never got the signal the threat had passed.

    Neonatologist Dr. Susan Landers and functional medicine physician Dr. Alicia Newsome walk through the early signs, the breathing that resets your nervous system, and why the harshest voice in your head is not telling the truth.

  • Working Mom Burnout Is Not Really About Doing Too Much

    Working Mom Burnout Is Not Really About Doing Too Much
    Jun 24 2026
    It is the end of a long day and you are lying awake doing the math on summer camps, school clothes, and a checking account you have not looked at in weeks.

    The tiredness is not just physical. So much of working-mother burnout comes from financial stress and the invisible labor no one sees or counts. The real shift is learning what you can control and what you cannot.

    In this episode, Dr. Susan Landers, a neonatologist, and Dr. Tabatha Russell, a financial strategist, break down how mindset and money are at the root of what is burning working moms out — and what actually changes things.

  • What Pediatricians Wish New Moms Knew About Baby Care

    What Pediatricians Wish New Moms Knew About Baby Care
    May 5 2026
    There is more baby advice online than any parent could ever sort through. And most of it contradicts itself.

    So how do you know what is actually true, what is outdated, and what your baby actually needs?

    In this episode, Dr. Susan Landers and Dr. Ari Brown, two physicians who between them have guided thousands of families through the earliest and most uncertain months of parenthood, answer the questions new moms are too overwhelmed or embarrassed to ask out loud.

    They cover why vitamin K and vaccines matter more than the internet debates suggest, how to build sleep routines that actually work, what toddler tantrums are really communicating, and what pediatricians wish parents understood before the first appointment.

    No conflicting advice, no algorithm-driven fear. Just two doctors telling you what they would tell their own patients.
