Can pain become your greatest teacher?
In this deeply moving episode of Raw Minds, host Erick sits down with Angel Oren go and Rocio Aquino, the authors of The Orchid: The Secret Code of Modern Goddesses — a powerful book that goes far beyond gender, offering a spiritual and emotional framework for healing deep trauma, reclaiming self-worth, and stepping into authentic power.
Together, Angel and Rocio break open the silence around emotional neglect, childhood abuse, generational pain, and the invisible wounds men and women carry into adulthood. They share their personal journeys from survival to service, transforming breakdowns into breakthroughs and turning their story into a movement of healing, self-love, and spiritual awareness.
This conversation is raw, real, and unforgettable.
Childhood trauma, abandonment, and self-erasure
Forgiveness as a practical and spiritual tool
How shame, ego, and people-pleasing destroy connection
The connection between healing and writing your truth
Emotional regulation, energy awareness, and nervous system healing
Why The Orchid is helping men as much as women
Masculinity, leadership, emotional safety, and letting go of survival mode
If you're ready to break free from your past and step into a new story, this episode is the mirror you didn’t know you needed.
