Burnout & Relationships: How Stress Sabotages Connection (with Charlotte Stebbing-Mills)

In this episode of The Relationship Pod, I’m joined by Charlotte Stebbing-Mills—well-being specialist and co-founder of The Wellness Theory - for a powerful conversation on how burnout affects our relationships.

Charlotte opens up about her own journey through severe burnout and the toll it took on her relationship. We break down the stages of burnout, explore the six core psychological needs driving our behavior, and talk about why we often (unknowingly) outsource those needs to others.

You'll learn practical tools to regulate your nervous system, communicate your needs without shame, and set healthy boundaries—without falling into codependency. If you or someone you love is navigating burnout, this episode is packed with insight to help you reconnect and reset.
