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. 💛

Waiting on God (Without Having a Tantrum)
In today’s episode, I’m getting real about something we all struggle with—waiting on God. Whether it’s hearing ‘no’ when we really wanted a ‘yes,’ feeling like we’re stuck in a season of waiting, or throwing a full-on tantrum when things don’t go our way, I’m unpacking the ways we are just like our kids when it comes to our relationship with our Heavenly Father.
I share some personal stories—like when God took away a relationship I thought was my reward for getting sober, and how I wrestled with that heartbreak, only to realize years later that His ‘no’ was actually making way for something so much better. I also open up about my journey with my Amazon business—something I started a year ago that hasn’t turned out the way I had hoped… yet. But instead of giving up, I’m leaning into His promises and trusting that when He puts a dream in our hearts, He will be faithful to see it through.
If you’ve ever struggled with waiting, with trusting God’s plan, or with accepting a ‘no’ when you were hoping for a ‘yes,’ this episode is for you. Let’s dive into what it really means to trust, to be patient, and to believe that God’s timing is always perfect—even when it doesn’t feel like it.
Key Takeaways:
💡 Why We Struggle With ‘No’ from God:
- How we react when God takes something away from us, just like our kids react when we take away a toy.
- The heartbreak of losing something we thought was good for us, only to later realize it wasn’t God’s best.
💡 The Power of Waiting Well:
- My Amazon business journey: How I’ve had to trust and wait when things didn’t go as planned.
- God’s timing isn’t our timing, but His plans are always greater.
- Encouragement for anyone in a season of waiting—your ‘yes’ is coming, in His perfect timing.
💡 Three Ways to Wait on the Lord with a Patient Heart:
- Reflect on His Faithfulness – Look back at past seasons where He has shown up for you.
- Serve While You Wait – Shift the focus off yourself and onto how you can be a blessing to others.
- Stay Rooted in His Promises – Read scripture, pray, and remind yourself of God’s truth over your feelings.
💡 Final Encouragement:
- God’s ‘no’ is never rejection—it’s redirection.
- Choosing patience and trust is hard, but it leads to greater peace and joy.
- Whatever you’re waiting on—trust that God is working behind the scenes.
