I Choose Happy With Marilyn, a powerful new podcast hosted by Marilyn Getas Byrne launches on Aug. 5.

Hosted by former television news anchor and cancer survivor Marilyn Getas Byrne, the series features real stories of trauma, transformation and the courageous decision to choose joy even in the face of unimaginable pain.

LAGUNA BEACH, Calif., Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Comfy®, the brand that brought the world the original wearable blanket, is proud to announce the launch of I Choose Happy With Marilyn, a powerful new podcast launching on Aug. 5. Hosted by Marilyn Getas Byrne, a writer, speaker and breast cancer survivor, her passion for sharing stories of hope and resilience through words and voice inspired the creation of the podcast.

Presented by The Comfy®, this podcast is an extension of the brand's mission to wrap the world in a giant hug. Just like its cozy creations bring physical comfort, I Choose Happy With Marilyn brings emotional warmth, inviting listeners to Feel the Happy through heartfelt conversations and inspiring journeys.

"I've come to understand that happiness isn't something that simply happens; it's a conscious choice we make, moment by moment," said Byrne. "This podcast is a space to honor life's challenges, hold space for healing and celebrate the moments when we reclaim our power. "

I Choose Happy With Marilyn delves into the real-life stories of individuals who have walked through fire and emerged transformed. Each weekly episode is a raw, honest and ultimately uplifting conversation about what it means to face trauma, confront grief, break generational cycles and, most importantly, choose joy.

Episode 1, The Cult Next Door: Healing, Manipulation, And The Fight To Break Free, is available now. After fleeing an abusive home, Aundria Adams found herself caught in the web of a manipulative therapist running a covert cult. Her harrowing story of survival and strength is a testament to the power of self-liberation and the courage to reclaim your life. Click here to listen.

Byrne, a former television news anchor and mother of two, brings warmth, insight and fierce compassion to every episode. She once worked alongside one of the co-founders of The Comfy® and her career in journalism sharpened her storytelling instincts. After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010, Byrne's journey profoundly reshaped her understanding of resilience and the human spirit. Today, she's creating a powerful space where others can share their stories. The Comfy® shares in this ethos, believing happiness is something worth sharing through one story, and one hug, at a time. Together, they're taking comfort to a new level by creating a space that celebrates strength, connection and the simple power of being seen and heard.

"I've come to understand that happiness isn't something that simply happens; it's a conscious choice we make, moment by moment," said Byrne. "This podcast is a space to honor life's challenges, hold space for healing and celebrate the moments when we reclaim our power. I'm deeply grateful to my friends at The Comfy® for wrapping me in their support throughout this transformative journey to 'Feel the Happy.'"

Upcoming episodes include:

Episode 2: I Choose Life: Grief, Grace, And The Grand Canyon
What starts as a bucket-list rafting trip turns into a journey of unimaginable loss and unexpected grace. Margot Baker shares her story of choosing life after tragedy and the moment she found the words that saved her.

Episode 3: "Daddy's Killing Mommy!": A Survivor's Journey to Joy
At just eight years old, Keri Chen's world was shattered by domestic violence. Today, she shares how she turned unthinkable trauma into a life defined by gratitude, love, and deep joy, all proof that our past does not define our future.
"This podcast is a safe space for everyone, where all stories are valued and all voices are heard," said Byrne. "The podcast is a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there's light to be found. Choosing happiness isn't about ignoring pain. It's about embracing the full story of who we are and what we've overcome to find peace and healing."
