What happens when stress stops being manageable and starts controlling your life?

Charlotte Stebbing-Mills joins The Bits You Don’t See to talk about the hidden side of workplace anxiety, burnout and rebuilding strength after breaking point.

Through her story, Charlotte shares how chronic stress and performance pressure led to anxiety and self-doubt, and how she slowly learned to trust herself again. This episode is a grounded, honest look at what recovery and balance really mean – not the polished version we see online, but the human one that takes time, courage and honesty.

Key takeaways:

Recognising the early signs of burnout before it spirals

Why performance culture fuels anxiety at work

How to rebuild confidence after struggling with stress

Learning to rest without guilt

The importance of openness and asking for help

Redefining success around wellbeing, not output

How to find purpose again after losing direction

This episode is about slowing down, reclaiming your mental space and remembering that you don’t have to have it all together to be doing enough. Charlotte’s vulnerability makes it a powerful reminder that healing isn’t weakness – it’s the start of real strength.
