Susan Landers MD is a neonatologist who worked full-time in the NICU caring for sick babies for over thirty years, and she also raised three children to young adulthood. She achieved many academic and professional accomplishments, and she encountered challenges along the way, both in her career and in her mothering. Her children presented her with common problems and some not so common, such as dyslexia, ADHD, and an adolescent eating disorder. Susan suffered through one particularly difficult period and depression during her midlife that propelled her to make specific choices and a career change. She loves to tell stories that reassure younger 
mothers to know that they, too, can become a “good enough mother” especially if they work full-time. She supports mothers with her "MomsMatter" Substack newsletter, her social media posts and her blog. Her memoir is “So Many Babies: My Life Balancing a Busy Medical Career and Motherhood.
