Summary
In this episode, Sam and Ian sit down to recap their four-day stay at Miraval Resort & Spa in Tucson, Arizona — a luxury, all-inclusive, adults-only wellness retreat that turned out to be way more transformative than they expected. This one is personal, fun, and packed with real talk about relationships, mindfulness, goal-setting, and what happens when you're forced to put your phone in a bag. They kick things off with a 90-day intention check-in — something Sam does every quarter to look back at her goals and make sure she's living with purpose. From there, they dive deep into everything Miraval: the stunning desert property, the incredible food (fresh honey straight from the beehive!), and the wide variety of classes and experiences they booked — from archery and gut health workshops to past life regression and one-on-one readings. But the real conversation goes deeper than the resort itself. Sam and her partner open up about what it actually felt like to go fully phone-free for days, why that level of digital detox grounded Sam in a way she didn't expect, and what it meant for them as a couple to have four full days of intentional, distraction-free time together. They also talk about who Miraval is for — spoiler: it's not just couples. Whether you're a solo traveler needing to escape, a group of girlfriends, or someone just craving a reset, this place has something for everyone. If you've been feeling burnt out, disconnected, or like you're just going through the motions — this episode will make you want to book a wellness trip immediately. _____ About Miraval:Miraval Resorts are renowned luxury wellness destinations designed for mindfulness, balance, and relaxation, with locations in Arizona, Austin, and the Berkshires.
