đĄ Feeling drained, disconnected, or like you're running on emptyâdespite your passion and purpose?
You're not aloneâand it's not just stress. It's burnout, and it's showing up in your health, your relationships, and your business. In this soul-stirring episode of the Matchmaker Mentor Podcast, Arlene Washburn is joined by Jamie London Wollberg, spiritual wellness guide and founder of Wakein, to explore what burnout really isâand how to recover from it authentically.
đĽ From trauma and disconnection to the healing power of micro rituals, Jamie reveals how mission-driven leadersâespecially matchmakers, coaches, and entrepreneursâcan reawaken their balance through self-love audits, embodiment practices, and intentional living.
⨠This is a conversation about truth, transformation, and choosing unconditional loveânot just as a feeling, but as a daily practice that brings you back to center.
đď¸âđ¨ď¸ Youâll discover:
Why burnout is more than exhaustionâitâs a spiritual and emotional disconnect
How your morning and evening routines can become sacred healing spaces
The hidden costs of being a âhuman doingâ instead of a âhuman beingâ
How media, trauma, and cultural conditioning affect your nervous system
Why the real solution isnât in fixing othersâbut in rescuing yourself first
đŹ âWeâre not here to save everyone. Weâre here to reconnect with ourselvesâand from that place, we create impact.â â Jamie London Wollberg
đ§ Whether you're a matchmaker, a leader, or someone ready to feel whole againâthis episode is your call to pause, reflect, and begin again.
