Moms Matter: From Burned Out to Balanced

Working Mom Burnout Is Not Really About Doing Too Much

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 stems from financial stress and the invisible labor no one sees. The real shift is learning what you can control and what you cannot. Neonatologist Dr. Susan Landers and financial strategist Dr. Tabatha Russell unpack how mindset and money change everything. CONNECT WITH DR.
