Are you a working mom feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and like you're running on empty? You're not alone!
Many working mothers are burning out fast, and it's taking a toll on their mental and physical health.
In this eye-opening episode, host Lisa Urbanski sits down with neonatologist, author, and speaker Dr. Susan Landers to tackle one of the most pressing and overlooked issues modern mothers face: emotional labor.
Together, they unpack the invisible workload that working moms carry every day — from managing family schedules and household chores to the mental burden of always being “on.”
Dr. Landers shares personal stories and evidence-based insights on the psychological toll of emotional labor, the imbalance at home, and why so many mothers feel exhausted, undervalued, and overwhelmed.
You’ll hear real talk about burnout, mental health, gender roles, and how tools like the Fair Play Deck and honest conversations with your partner can shift the dynamic.
Her insights come from both professional expertise and lived experience—plus, her writing is striking a nerve. Her Substack newsletter has skyrocketed to over 2,000 subscribers in just one month: susanlandersmd819.substack.com.
Whether you're a mom on the brink, a partner who wants to help, or someone seeking to understand emotional burnout, this episode will hit hard, in the best way.
