<p>While promoting new podcast merch, Wendy Williams shared a warm update on where she&#8217;s at during this stage of her career.</p>
<p>On Christmas Eve, the media personality addressed her supporters in a short video uploaded to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cmj8ocOo431/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Wendy Experience</em></a> podcast&#8217;s Instagram page.</p>
<p>In the upload, Wendy gave a quick message about how fans could secure merch to rep her upcoming podcast project. Williams also assured supporters that she was &#8220;happy to be here.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Happy holidays! &#8216;Tis the season for the winter. Listen, don&#8217;t forget to check out your favorite <em>Wendy Experience</em> merchandise. I don&#8217;t know what else you&#8217;re doing. I&#8217;m just happy to be here—and to be, well, happy to be here.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>She catchily captioned her video, &#8220;It is the most wonderful time of year..shop all your favorite Wendy gear.&#8221;</p>

<p>In a statement to <em>E! News</em>, Wendy&#8217;s publicist—Shawn Zanotti—further dished on the merch.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The gear features comfortable hoodies and caps featuring many of Wendy&#8217;s famous quotes. Shirts lined with words like &#8216;How You Doin&#8217;, &#8216;Excuse Me&#8217; and many more classic Wendy sayings.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">She&#8217;s Been Making Moves Since Completing Her Stint At A Wellness Facility</h3>
<p>Wendy&#8217;s recent message comes about three-and-a-half months after she entered a wellness facility, as <em><a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/wendy-williams-enters-wellness-facility-to-help-manage-her-overall-health/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Shade Room</a> </em>previously reported.</p>
<p>Regarding this decision, Zanotti noted that Wendy was &#8220;prepar[ing] for a major comeback for the next level in her career.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;She is taking some time to focus on her health and wellness as she prepares for a major comeback for the next level in her career with The Wendy Experience Podcast. Ms. Williams is being treated by a team of some of the best doctors in the world. We ask for your prayers and well wishes during this time.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The publicist also shared a statement to <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/update-wendy-williams-is-feeling-better-than-ever-after-leaving-wellness-facility/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>The Shade Room</em></a> on the heels of Wendy completing her stint at the wellness facility in October.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We are happy to report that Wendy Williams is home and healing after being in a wellness facility since August. Wendy is excited about the road ahead and looking forward to releasing her many projects. She wants to say, &#8216;Thank you to my fans for your love, support and many prayers, I am back and better than ever.'&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Later, in November, Wendy made her first post-facility public appearance. She specifically participated in the WLBS radio station&#8217;s <em>Circle of Sisters </em>series, and she warmly spoke on the prospect of falling in love again.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Wendy Williams Announced She Was Embarking On Her Podcast Journey Over The Summer</h3>
<p>Regarding <em>The Wendy Experience</em>, we should note that Williams first <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tv/Cfsl2FhAvlh/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">teased</a> the project back in early July.</p>
<p>Wendy let fans know that she&#8217;d soon begin &#8220;Doing A Show,&#8221; though it wouldn&#8217;t be a televised project.</p>
<p>She added, &#8220;Sorry it is a WENDY EXPERIENCE! STAY TUNED!&#8221;</p>

<p>It&#8217;s currently unclear when Wendy&#8217;s podcast will officially premiere, though longtime supporters can still show love and rep the project!</p>
<p>Shoutout to Wendy Williams, and let&#8217;s continue to uplift this media icon up as she continues her journey through <em>The Wendy Experience</em>.</p>
