In our latest Upmarket Magazine broadcast for Intuitive Public TV, Megan Elizabeth Morris and Johanna O’Tigham unpack two words we see everywhere — deluxe and premium.
We ask a crucial question: What do these words really mean?
We’ve been conditioned to associate deluxe and premium with higher quality, exclusivity, and superior experiences.
Yet, so often, what is marketed as luxurious turns out to be hollow — cheap materials dressed up, promises that don’t hold, and a fundamental lack of true relationship.
True premium experiences, as we explore in this segment, go beyond price tags and flashy exteriors.
We want…
✅ Genuine connection — to be seen, understood, and cared for.
✅ Time and space — the real luxury of full presence.
✅ Natural abundance — and quality that nourishes, sustains, and honors life.
If “premium” doesn’t include respect, authenticity, and living relationship, is it really worth the cost?
This conversation is just beginning. Tune in to Upmarket Magazine — be sure to subscribe! — and follow Intuitive Public TV for social media notifications on YouTube and Facebook. As more and more of us know we must, we’ll be continuing to redefine true value in a world full of misleading labels.
