Welcome to 2026… and welcome back to another episode of Every Day Is a Trainwreck, where Marley brings in a certified fan favorite — Chirag Sagar of Mission Matters — to break down why some people bounce back, level up, and stay in the game… while others tap out before February.

After a year that felt like Mercury Retrograde on performance-enhancing drugs, Marley and Chirag get real about what it actually takes to recover from setbacks, disappointments, failed attempts, lost momentum, and life not going to plan (again).

From college rejection stories to career face-plants to rebuilding your life after fires — literal and emotional — this conversation is equal parts honest, hopeful, and hilariously human.

✨ Inside the Episode:
• Why grit—not motivation—is the real differentiator
• How Chirag went from 7 college rejections to USC (and why your kid needs to hear it)
• The truth about failing upward in business, entrepreneurship & life
• How to rebuild when you’re overwhelmed, embarrassed, or just exhausted
• Why connection, community & showing up matter more than perfection
• What Mission Matters is building for 2026 (and why it’s genius)

This isn’t “new year, new me” toxic positivity.
This is “new year, same chaos — but here’s how to walk through it stronger.”

It’s grounding. It’s clarifying. It’s the pep talk you actually needed.

Welcome to 2026… or as Marley puts it, “Hi, yes, hello — who ordered the chaos platter with a side of emotional gout?”

In the first episode of the year, Marley ditches the party tips, décor ideas, and bougie event hacks — and meets you exactly where you are. Overwhelmed? Exhausted? Behind already? Feeling like everyone else is writing vision boards on a yacht while you’re Googling “how to feel feelings”? SAME.

After a year that started with literal fires and ended with spiritual ones, Marley opens up about:
✨ burnout
✨ invisible suffering
✨ being in the messy middle
✨ raising teenagers
✨ back pain that will not quit
✨ running businesses
✨ launching products
✨ getting on stage in Asia while barely holding it together
✨ and somehow still hosting a dang podcast

This isn’t curated Instagram Marley. This is “crying in the bathtub answering emails for five hours with incense smoke in her eyes” Marley. And honestly? We needed her.

This episode is a warm, messy, human, hopeful reset button — for anyone who thought they’d start the year with green juice and ended up with emotional vertigo instead.

It’s the last episode of 2025 (?!), and Marley is closing out the year with the one person who can handle the chaos, the exhaustion, and the spiritual duct tape required to get us to January: Viola Murrone — Little Miss Feel & Heal herself.

You’ve heard her on the show before: former Chanel executive, Reiki master, crystal whisperer, accidental comedian, and possibly the only human alive who can explain Mercury Retrograde without needing a PhD.

This time, Marley brings her back for one reason: EVERYONE feels like the world is on fire — emotionally, energetically, spiritually — and we need tools to not fall apart before the ball drops.

From why October felt like walking through cement, to why the holidays drain us instead of filling us, to the invisible suffering we’re all carrying around… this episode is part therapy session, part spiritual chiropractic adjustment, and part “Viola please fix my life before 2026.”

✨ Inside the Episode:

• Why everything felt so freaking heavy this year (hint: darkness, eclipses & your nervous system)
• How to actually rest and digest instead of panic-eat your way through December
• The ONE self-care habit that will change your life (and it takes 60 seconds)
• How your lower back pain is actually a root chakra meltdown
• Why “messy action is better than no action” — according to Viola and the herbs
• How to stop future-tripping and drop-kicking yourself into anxiety
• The power of noticing small kindnesses (seriously — it rewires your brain)
• Why New Year’s resolutions are trash and what to do instead
• The magic of writing, burning, releasing & actually letting this year GO
• A ritual to step into 2026 with grounded energy instead of chaos energy

If you’re tired, overwhelmed, overstimulated, over-everythinged, or just want to feel safe again — this is your warm weighted blanket of an episode.
