En este episodio de THE ORCHID Diaries, conversamos con Malik —booktuber, pedagogo, locutor y promotor de lectura— sobre cómo THE ORCHID: El Código Secreto de las Diosas Modernas se convirtió en apoyo para su vida creativa y personal. Hablamos de no claudicar ante la presión social, de la importancia de perdonar (y perdonarse), de mantener la libertad creativa sin perder el centro, y de cómo los cinco pilares de THE ORCHID (conciencia, gratitud, perdón, aceptación e intención) pueden transformar nuestra relación con el trabajo, la familia y los sueños.

Malik comparte anécdotas íntimas: el momento en que estuvo a punto de cerrar su canal, cómo retomó su propósito, y por qué su proyecto al igual que THE ORCHID, es hoy su “spa y escuela” de mente, cuerpo y alma. También exploramos por qué los hombres deberían leer THE ORCHID y cómo cambiar “la presión por encajar” por autenticidad con propósito.

In this deeply moving episode of THE ORCHID Diaries, co-authors Angel Orengo and Rocio Aquino sit down with Angel’s high school friend and former FEMA consultant, Kwong T. Hui to explore his transformative experience reading THE ORCHID: The Secret Code of Modern Goddesses.

A Bronx native and son of immigrants from Hong Kong, Kwong shares his life story—from growing up in a turbulent household to building a life rooted in service, reflection, and emotional growth. He speaks candidly about the impact the book had on his understanding of acceptance, forgiveness, and the power of vulnerability, even revisiting personal wounds tied to his father.

He draws powerful connections between THE ORCHID’s female characters and his own lived experiences, offering insights on masculinity, generational trauma, and healing across gender lines.

With touching reflections on fatherhood, his daughter’s wisdom, and how the book encouraged him to go deeper into self-inquiry, this episode is an invitation for men and women alike to grow beyond old narratives.

Whether you're a longtime reader or just discovering THE ORCHID, this episode is a soulful reminder that healing is a human experience, not a gendered one.
