Balancing Acts: Dr. Susan Landers on Navigating Career, Family, and Personal Fulfillment, #770

Dr. Susan Landers is an accomplished neonatologist who spent 34 years caring for newborns and premature infants. But when she retired in 2016, she felt bored and unfulfilled. Her friend, a retired psychiatrist, explained that doctors often struggle to stop doctoring, and Dr. Landers realized she missed caring for people. So, she started writing about her experiences and memories of her patients and their families in a memoir called So Many Babies.

The memoir explores how Dr. Landers balanced her career while raising three children and being a wife. In it, she talks about the importance of taking care of oneself, communicating in her marriage, and the value of having support from people at work. By sharing her experiences, Dr. Landers produced a book that reassured other working mothers that it's okay to find balancing everything difficult and to learn how to take care of yourself to do so.

Dr. Landers' story is inspiring because it shows the power of perseverance and how pursuing one's passions can lead to great achievements. She turned her retirement into a labor of love and a way to impact the lives of other working mothers. As Armand Morin would say, "If Dr. Landers can do it, so can you!"

Dr. Susan Landers discovered the term "generativity" to describe her desire to use her wisdom and experience to give back to others. As an older person with experience, she believes she can help younger people avoid making mistakes and increase their knowledge. In addition to writing her book, Dr. Landers has created a website that supports working mothers with an active newsletter, blog, and social media presence. She is also developing an online course for working mothers who need help balancing their job, children, marriage, friendships, and elder care. Dr. Landers has personal experience caring for her parents, giving her the wisdom and experience she wants to pass on to others. She believes everyone is obligated to use their talents to help and serve others.

Dr. Susan Landers emphasizes the importance of social connections and community support for working mothers. She believes asking for help is a sign of strength and essential to survival as a working mother. Dr. Landers admits that there is no balance for working parents, but it is more like a juggling act. She encourages working mothers to prioritize their job requirements and family needs, although it is not easy. Dr. Landers advocates for setting up a support system that includes friends, colleagues, neighbors, and family. She adds that she made her children a part of her work life and exposed them to what she did to make them proud. Dr. Landers advises working mothers to rely on their connections and community for help and guidance.
