My husband and I have been watching 2BB since Chris and Peach began the podcast. We've been silent-low interaction listeners until we decided to pull the trigger on going to a retreat! I went into it excited yet nervous. Excited to meet the people who gave me the tools to become a better woman and wife yet nervous as to what new challenges and insight will be brought to me. We got to the cabin about in the middle of everyone arriving. Once the icebreakers happened, I immediately felt at ease and connected to everyone as if the universe brought us all there for a larger reason. Us women cooked, danced and learned from each other in the kitchen while the men got to bond and talk. We all ate together unplugged for the most part almost like a family would have. In the afternoon, we did a large group session where we all could share as little or as much as possible. Not only did I receive overall advice and tools for my individual/marriage needs, but I also learned so much from listening to other's stories. After a much needed cry, we all spent time hanging out and getting to know each other better. Us women bonded quickly and everyone got along very nicely. That night, we made dinner! Peach taught me how to make Spanish rice and how to properly cook stir fry veggies. Honestly, highlight of the weekend was the moments where I bonded with the women. I have never felt more connected, more accepted than with the 2BB Tribe and Courage and Curves ladies. The friendship I have gained from this retreat is insane. I gained sisters in life. My husband has a new group of friends that understand and respect him now. However, the peak of the highlights was the wailing circle that occured after the 1 on 1 coaching sessions Sunday. The group went outside in the early evening to meditate and breathe together. When we were all done, the men folk went inside and us women wailed together. We all embraced each other and spoke positive affirmations over each other. In that moment, 22 years of bottled up pain exploded out. This past weekend has been the most healing journey yet. And, I couldn't have done it without my new family, the 2 Be Better Tribe as well as The Courage and Curves Sisterhood. Not only was I healed, but my marriage is now stronger than before. So thank you to Chris and Peach for giving me the tools needed to build a better life and a better me.

I’m going to try and make this message not insanely long but this retreat had a way larger impact on my life than I ever anticipated.

Attending this retreat in North Carolina was one of the most amazing experiences my husband and I have had together. It was also our first adventure since we’ve been married. And not only did we create new and unforgettable memories, but we also formed genuine friendships that felt like meeting family.

Some backstory: In 2023- 2024, my husband and I went through a very difficult rough patch due to challenges on both sides of our families. A couple months after our wedding, we suddenly found ourselves juggling heavy responsibilities and hardships at a rapid pace. The following year had become overwhelming and started to put strain on our marriage and every time we would try and plan for a trip I swear we would hit some weird strain of bad luck and all plans would fall apart. That summer in 2024, I came across 2 Be Better’s content on TikTok. I can’t remember the exact clip that first caught my attention, but from that moment I was hooked. The lessons and messages from their videos spoke to me during a time when I really needed to find some hope and direction. By January 25, 2025, I had joined their Patreon community, and before long I started participating in Peach’s Sacred Sisterhood and Awakened Women tiers. If you’re a female listening to this, I highly recommend joining the women’s groups if you can. Peaches is a wonderful teacher and I have benefited an astronomical amount from being a member for only just six months. When Chris and Peach announced the retreat dates in late February, I noticed it would fall on my birthday weekend. Right then, I knew in my gut I had to seize the opportunity. It was like I just knew that this trip was needed for my husband and I. For real, it felt like divine timing. So I booked our spots, our airfare, and before we knew it we were venturing all the way from Los Angeles to the far East.

I don’t even know where to start with listing my favorite parts about the retreat because each day was full of incredible and joyous moments. Friday we got to meet and socialize with all of the couples on the porch and answer fun ice breaker questions during dinner. I loved how our group flowed, it felt like we all clicked naturally right away and we all had so much in common. By the way, the house that was booked for the trip was on one of the prettiest properties I’d ever seen. It really felt like a privilege being there and it was a much needed nature cleanse. A few of my top favorite things we got to do during the retreat were the cooking lessons and beginning each morning with sound baths, breathwork exercises, and guided meditation. All of those activities were led by Peach and Buff Belle. To those who don’t know, Buff Belle is another amazing tiktok creator who I very much admire and when I heard that she was going to be a part of the retreat I was ecstatic. Buff Belle and her husband also led the couple’s photoshoots and that was such a blast to do. Such a treat, and I am currently in tortuous anticipation to see the final results of the photos. I know though that they’re going to be awesome. Her and Peach are such influential, inspiring, talented, and beautiful people and it was an honor to learn so much from the both of them that weekend. And watching them work as a team to help support the women on the retreat in person was super special to witness. I had a blast connecting and laughing with all of the women as we learned how to make delicious food for everybody. For once, and I’m pretty sure all of us agreed on this, it was just so nice to finally be in an environment of women who were like minded and only wanted to lift others up along with them. Also thanks to Peaches I am now a pro at scrambled eggs and I can fillet and dissect chicken like a master chef. Those lessons and memories in that kitchen I will hold dearly in my heart forever.

Saturday and Sunday we had our group and one on one sessions and I have to say it was also fascinating watching Chris and Peaches work together as well. They both are the real deal and it’s been very cool watching their growth even from when I started watching them online. And you can tell they dedicate a lot of care into what they do. They radiate such love and compassion for one another and for others and I love that they let everyone have a turn to speak their mind. Everyone got a chance to talk and they responded with grace, patience, and provided excellent advice for everybody. Hearing every other couples’ story was extremely validating and I gained a lot of perspectives, empathy, and humility during both of those days. It also made me happy and pleased to see all of the support and to really feel the love that this community has for one another.

If I had to pick a favorite day of the retreat I would have to pick Sunday. That day was packed full of moments of what only I could describe as pure positivity and healing. There aren’t words to describe how magical that day was. You just had to be there. One of my now good friends and I got to celebrate our birthdays, have our one on one couples counseling sessions, our photo shoots, and we all experienced some type of emotional healing thanks to the seminars provided. That day made me feel good to be alive again and reminded me to appreciate every single moment. It's a day I'm never going to take for granted.

Besides the weekend of my wedding, this retreat is runner up on being the best weekend ever. My husband and I connected on a whole different level like never before and he even said that in those special moments, he too felt fortunate and grateful. It meant the world to me. I’m so proud of us for taking the leap of faith in doing this. I can’t thank Chris, Peach, and Belle for providing such an outstanding experience for all of us involved. I am beyond thankful for all of the lessons and for gaining more emotional tools to help better and improve my lifestyle and marriage. My husband and I will never forget this. I can’t wait to see what they do next and to continue watching and participating in the prospering growth of this community.

“ONLY JOY!”

I am an introvert by nature and this retreat made me feel welcomed and unjudged. We had sound baths and mediation each morning which was a blissful experience. It helped my wife and I to come together and spend quality time as well as think about our future and problem solve. I am convinced this retreat was well worth what I spent in money for what I got in virtue. The clarity that Chris and Peaches can provide is enlightening at times and has no sugar coat to it. It made us see situations in our personal life for how they really are. If you're thinking about going on one of these retreats a word you will not be using as you leave is regret; unless you don't participate. The love, acceptance and growth that I got from a group setting like this gave me a sense of belonging. Listening to other couple's problems helped bring a mirror to some of my relationship's issues. It truly felt like there was no judgement. You can be flawed, as well as accepted and loved. I will 100% be taking more trips with them in the future.

My wife and I committed to this trip on a whim. We had seen some of your content and we loved your approach to relationships.

We came with a ton of baggage, years of struggles. We are doing therapy, but we thought trying something different also may help.

We were nervous about the dynamic of multiple couples in the same house. We were pleasantly surprised though. Everyone came with intentions to get the most out of the weekend! 

The experience and advice we received was amazing and will definitely help us. Both of your knowledge and experience was clear to us when you were able to see right through the fluff and give us actual tools to navigate communication patterns. 

I’m grateful, and will definitely attend another in the future!

The couples retreat hosted by Chris and Peach deeply reinforced our commitment to one another. It helped us navigate what initially felt like small speed bumps—challenges that, left unaddressed, could have grown into something more serious. We’re incredibly grateful for the safe space they created, which allowed us to grow together as a couple and be vulnerable while discussing our problems and emotions.

Going into the retreat, we didn’t know what to expect, having never attended anything like this before. But meeting Chris and Peach in person and witnessing how genuine, honest, and grounded they are far exceeded our expectations.

Our one-on-one sessions and personal time with them led to meaningful self-discovery and healing from deeply rooted past traumas. (The sound bowls were amazing—Peach, you are truly gifted!)

One unexpected highlight was the boudoir shoot—it was so much fun! It reignited those flirtatious, enticing feelings we had when we first started dating. The experience brought a fresh spark to our connection and reminded us how important it is to play, flirt, and appreciate each other in new ways.

The accommodations were also wonderful. Breakfast, dinner, and snacks were all thoughtfully provided. The home was spacious and comfortable, with a peaceful ambiance that enhanced the experience. The beautifully landscaped backyard created a perfect space for meditation and sound baths—ideal for relaxation and reflection.

We also loved connecting with Chris, Peach, John, Belle, and the other couples. We’ve built lasting friendships and are already looking forward to the next retreat we’re able to attend.

Thank you so much for the amazing opportunity and experience!

I’ve started and stopped writing this more times than I can count. Every time I think I’ve found the words, they fall short. It’s been over a week now, and the retreat is still sitting with me, flashes of it, moments that come back when I’m doing something completely ordinary, and suddenly I’m right back there again.

Admittedly, on that long drive down to North Carolina, I was nervous. Nervous in a way that honestly had my stomach in knots. My head was full of what ifs: What if I don’t fit in? What if they think I’m too much, or not enough? What if meeting Chris and Peach in real life somehow ruins what I’ve felt through the podcast for years? And what if this doesn’t help? What if it makes things harder?

Because I wasn’t just going for me. I was going with my boyfriend, the man I'd be honored to spend the rest of my life with, and if I’m honest, we were on rough ground. There had been hurt feelings, long stretches of silence that didn’t feel peaceful, and resentment that we hadn’t said out loud but had both felt. Part of me hoped this retreat would bring us back to each other, but part of me also feared it might show us we were too far gone.

And then we turned onto that long driveway. The house was even more beautiful than I imagined, tucked into the land like it belonged there. And on the front porch, there they were: Chris and Peach, smiling, waiting, and excited to meet us. At that moment, just seeing them standing there, something in me eased. It felt like walking into warmth.

Meeting them in person was surreal, and yet so natural at the same time. After almost a year in the Patreon community, after years of hearing their voices in my headphones, there was this strange mix of “I already know you” but also “this is brand new.” Peach’s hug was the kind you don’t realize you’ve been needing until you’re in it, one that sinks all the way down to your chest and makes it a little easier to breathe.

The weekend itself wasn’t one big breakthrough. It was a hundred small ones. The group sessions were intense and beautiful all at once. Real couples, with real problems, letting themselves be seen and heard. Some of the stories were heavy. Some made me laugh. Some made me cry without meaning to. And through it all Chris and Peach... there’s no other word to describe them but steady. They didn’t pick sides. They didn’t tiptoe. They were honest, but never cruel. Firm, but always gentle where it mattered.

The one-on-one session was challenging, but in the best way. Chris and Peach created a space where I could finally open up and be honest, and where things felt just a little less heavy. It wasn’t about fixing everything in an hour, it was about beginning to move forward. I left feeling raw, but lighter. Hopeful.

The rest of the weekend felt like a dream. Waking up in that beautiful house next my man, mornings filled with sound baths and meditation that seemed to reset my whole nervous system, cooking side by side with the other women for our men and each other, dancing and laughing in the kitchen like we’d known each other for years. It wasn’t just about the meals. It was about what it felt like to belong somewhere, even just for a little while.

And then there was Sunday night. The group healing session. We all stepped outside into that massive backyard, and it felt like the earth was holding its breath for us. The sky was painted in soft golds and pinks, and the grass was cool and impossibly soft beneath my feet. I pressed my palms into it, felt the dampness of the earth, and it grounded me like nothing had in months. The breeze moved just enough to brush the hair off my face. We sat amongst each other, voices carrying softly in the open air, and as the sun sank lower, it felt like it was pulling the weight out of my chest with it.

We all carried something into that circle, grief, anger, guilt, weight we didn’t know how to set down. And one by one, it started to break open. Some people cried quietly, some shook, some let out sounds that utterly shattered my heart. But no one turned away. No one was left behind.

And having my man right there with me, letting go of things he’d carried for years… I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anything more beautiful than that moment. Watching his face change, his shoulders finally drop, feeling his hands in mine as that release moved through him... I’ll carry that memory for the rest of my life.

That’s what this retreat did. It didn’t make everything neat and easy. It cracked us open. It reminded me that, like Chris and Peach say a lot on the podcast, healing isn't linear; it's not easy, but it’s always worth it when it’s real.

Chris and Peach weren’t playing hosts. They weren’t performing to appease an algorithm. They were themselves, completely, unapologetically, beautifully themselves. Laughing with us.Crying with us, pushing us when we needed to be pushed, hugging us when we needed to be hugged.

If you’re scared to come to one of the retreats, good. It means you know how much it matters. But don’t let that fear stop you. If you show up with an open heart and a real willingness to change, you will leave differently. Not perfect. Not finished. But stronger. More heard. More seen. More loved. You’ll leave feeling more connected to yourself, to your partner, and to people who were strangers just days before.

I walked into that weekend unsure if my relationship would survive it. I left with hope. With clarity. With community. And with this unshakable feeling that what Chris and Peach are doing, it’s not just content. It’s not just “a retreat.” It’s something real. Something rare. And if I could go back, I would, over and over again.

So I'm going to be brutally honest in this. I had zero faith that this was going to be beneficial in any way, but I agreed to it because My Woman had attributed so much of her ability to problem solve and communicate to Chris and Peach, and their podcast. I'm an incredibly private person, but being pushed out of my element into this new experience gave me a glimpse into other's lives, and not only revealed that we all share similar issues and we aren't alone, but also the tools to overcome them and make that bond even stronger. I thought I would feel out of place for not being a regular listener, and as a result, I stayed out of sight for most of the time. It was only on the last two days that I came out of my shell, and not only was I welcomed with open arms, I felt comfortable in a way that I haven't in years when it comes to groups of people. I saw very quickly why Chris and Peach were so instrumental in the lives of these other people. Wisdom doesn't come from time, it comes from experiences and our ability to process them, and they have something unique that allows them to help others. I learned tools and methods to make sure I keep our relationship healthy and active. I'll never understand how they could be so devoted to helping others and yet still have such strength with each other, but I'm grateful for what it has brought into our lives.

I have listened to the 2BeBetter Podcast for nearly 2 years now. I first came across the content while scrolling Facebook reels, and as a divorced, single mother, I found myself cringing at the level of submission Peach has gifted to Chris. Prior to my marriage, I had explored the D/s dynamic. Unfortunately, the man I ended up marrying and having children with was not the dominant type at all, which eventually led to our downfall. After years of fighting for my divorce, going back to school, starting a new career, and building a new life for my children and myself, I couldn't fathom, allowing another man to have that much reign over my life. However, as I dug deeper and listened longer, everything shifted. As I listened to other people's struggles and disruptions and personal experiences, I began to learn more about myself and how I WAS the problem. Ok, maybe not the whole problem, but I was definitely part of it. I started shadow work and saw a therapist. I learned things about myself that I never understood how to interpret. 

About 6 months into listening and therapy, I found myself in a relationship with a guy who turned out to be VERY mentally unhealthy. I tried to share the things I was learning from the podcast with him, but the more I shared, the bigger the distance grew between us. Around this time, I heard the advice from an episode to not be your partner's therapist, and it dawned on me that I was growing and learning, but that didn't mean he wanted to or would. We went our separate ways, me on my path of self-improvement and him back into anger and depression. Now I thank God every day that we ended things because I found myself constantly thinking of 1 person. Someone I had connected with off and on for years, but due to distance and schedules and pending divorces, we knew it wasn't the time to start a relationship. After some time and some healing, I decided to reach out to him. There was still the same indescribably intense connection, and we agreed that this was it. This was the time we were going to give it a shot. Not long after, we had our first "official" date and, as we would find out later, that night we both knew that we wanted each other's person. We had a brief whirlwind courtship, and due to life throwing us some good luck (and some curveballs), he moved in shortly after. 

Fast forward to the current day, we have been living together for just under a year, and we have yet to find any disruption that we haven't taken on together, with the one big exception that I just knew I would need copious amounts of help with. One night during a disruption, I jokingly said "What would Chris and Peach say?". To my surprise he replied, "Let's ask them and find out."

As a devoted listener of the 2BeBetter Podcast, I was uber excited when retreats became a thing. This was an opportunity for us to get advice and meet role models, but also for us to get away together and have some fun. 

When I shared this news with Mark he was quite concerned. "Are you sure they aren't swingers or a cult?" I laughed at this, but I explained how it was a chance to meet new people, do something for ourselves, and strengthen our relationship, so with his support we took the plunge and signed up for Cape Coral. 

After a very long drive we were surprised to find that the house was fantastic and everyone seemed so nice. We had the privilege of meeting new people and learning about various topics. I had a great time cooking with the ladies and tried some new foods that I fell in love with. I genuinely enjoyed having real conversations with other adults about real issues. The photo session with BuffBelle and Jonathan was so much fun and we hope to schedule another with them soon. Unfortunately, I do feel like we missed out on several group activities due to my fatigue and Mark's introvertedness, but the advice we received during the group session regarding boundaries with my family meant the world to us. We have implemented a lot of the ideas that were shared, and things have improved dramatically. 

Peach, thank you for inspiring me through your style, your fashion, your behavior, and the example you set of how to be a Good Wife. I hope to set the same example for my own daughters.

 Chris, thank you for opening my eyes to the lack of support men have with their mental health and for setting the standard which ultimately opened my eyes to see the amazing man I have now.  

To you both, I can't tell you how grateful I am for all the hard work you've done on yourselves and for your dedication to the podcast. The world needs more great men and women like you in it and your podcast is making that possible. It was a pleasure to meet you both and anytime you're in Tennessee we would love to have dinner with you again.
