ABOUT ME
Bernadette Almeida
Bernadette Almeida, The HappYness Maker, is a motivational speaker and gratitude teacher whose work blends faith, positive psychology, and everyday practical wisdom, gained through six decades. After a personal awakening at age 25 that reshaped her understanding of joy, she began helping others discover the power of gratitude and self love through simple, life changing habits.
When she’s not writing she’s probably pet sitting a dog, sipping tea with a friend, creating healthy recipes from scratch, reading a Bible study, or listening to Recreating Mozart for the 300th time.
Her passion is simple: to help people see the good that is already in their lives and build happiness from there.

The happyness maker
The HappYness Maker helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected rediscover joy and self worth through simple, science-backed gratitude practices and practical mindset tools. With a blend of humor, heart, and real life wisdom, the HappYness Maker empowers everyday people to build confidence, transform their identity, and create a life they genuinely love, one small, hopeful step at a time.
Why follow HappYness Maker instead of another positive psychology person?
Because HappYness Maker doesn’t just talk about happiness — it teaches you how to practice it.
Many positive psychology voices inspire you for a moment. HappYness Maker helps you change how your brain works over time. The focus isn’t hype, affirmations, or pretending life is easy. It’s grounded in science, shaped by lived experience, and translated into simple, repeatable practices real people can actually stick with.
This approach blends:
• The science of happiness (neuroscience, neuroplasticity, behavioral research)
• The art of loving yourself (self-compassion, boundaries, gratitude, emotional safety)
• And a deep respect for reality — pain, setbacks, grief, and imperfect lives are not ignored or minimized
HappYness Maker doesn’t position itself as an expert above you. It walks beside you. It assumes you’re capable, intelligent, and already doing your best — you just need better tools and kinder strategies.
And perhaps most importantly:
HappYness Maker doesn’t ask you to become a new person.
It helps you reconnect with the one you already are.
Happiness here isn’t toxic positivity.'
It’s a skill.
It’s trainable.
And it’s sustainable.
