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. 💛

Feeling Like A Hot Mess Express? I Have The PERFECT Devo For You!
"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."
- 2 Corinthians 12:9
"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit."
- Psalm 34:18
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
- Matthew 11:28
Real Talk Reflection:
Let's be honest – there are days in motherhood when everything goes to hell in a handbasket. Days when the shit hits the fan before you've even had your coffee. When your kids are acting like tiny terrorists, and you're one "Mommy! Mommy! MOMMY!" away from losing your ever-loving mind.
You know those moments – when you've screamed into a pillow, hidden in the pantry eating contraband chocolate, or locked yourself in the bathroom just to get three minutes of peace? Yeah, those moments. The ones that make you feel like the worst mom ever.
But here's the thing that 2 Corinthians is telling us: God's power isn't most evident when we've got our crap together. It shows up most powerfully in the moments when we're a hot mess express. When we're at our wit's end, when we've lost it with the kids (again), when we feel like we're royally screwing everything up – that's precisely when grace shows up most powerfully.
The Psalmist gets real with us too. When we're emotionally wrecked, feeling like we're completely failing at this mom gig – God actually draws closer, not away. Those moments when we're crying in the car after a grocery store meltdown? We're not alone there.
And Jesus – bless him – he's basically saying, "Bring me your dumpster fire. All of it. Your bad attitude, your mom guilt, your complete exhaustion. Just come as you are."
Prayer:
God, let's be real – I'm a mess today. I've yelled too much, my patience is shot, and I'm pretty sure I'm screwing up my kids. But You say Your grace is enough, even for this chaos. Thank You for drawing near when I feel like I'm falling apart. Thank You for offering rest when I'm running on empty and caffeine. Help me extend the same grace to my kids that You keep extending to my hot mess self. Help me remember that these struggles don't make me a bad mom – they make me human and in desperate need of Your strength. Amen.
Today's Truth to Hold Onto:
Your moments of "I can't do this anymore" aren't failures – they're opportunities for grace to show up and show off. You don't have to have it all together. You just have to be real about your mess and willing to let grace do its thing.
Remember: The same grace that saves us is the grace that gets us through those days when everything's gone sideways. Your chaos isn't pushing God away – it's creating space for His strength to show up in ways you never expected.
So mama, when you feel like you're failing? That's actually your superpower moment. Because that's when grace steps in and says, "I got you. And I got this."
