Make America Happy Again
Motherhood is messy. Life is unpredictable. And in a world that feels more divided and overwhelming than ever, we need real conversations, practical solutions, and a whole lot more joy.
Welcome to Make America Happy Again—a podcast for moms who want to break free from stress, burnout, and generational cycles to build a life of health, purpose, and peace.
I’m Wendy—wife, mom of two, business owner, and recovering perfectionist who knows firsthand how easy it is to get lost in the chaos of daily life. But I also know that transformation is possible—when we focus on what truly matters and take small, intentional steps forward.
This is not another podcast that will tell you to hustle harder, do more, or be perfect. Instead, we’re keeping it real, raw, and radically simple. Each week, we’ll dive into topics like:
✔️ Breaking generational cycles and creating a better future for your family
✔️ Health & wellness for busy moms—without the all-or-nothing mindset
✔️ Faith, mindset, and personal growth—so you can show up as your best self
✔️ Simplifying the everyday—meal planning, routines, and making life easier
✔️ Overcoming mom guilt, fear, and self-doubt—because you are not alone
No fluff. No political affiliation. Just real conversations, practical tools, and a whole lot of encouragement.
So if you're ready to take back your peace, prioritize what matters most, and step into the healthiest, happiest version of yourself—you’re in the right place.
Hit play, and let’s do this together. 💛
