About this listen
Embark on a transformative auditory journey with “The Orchid: The Secret Code of Modern Goddesses,” where the serene whispers of self-discovery meet the echoes of empowerment.
Mary, a woman shaped by wealth, heartbreak, and a mosaic of life lessons from across the globe, establishes an exclusive retreat, The Orchid. This sanctuary becomes a space for the emotional and spiritual healing of women from varied walks of life. Through the guidance of Mary and her team of teachers and healers, thirty women each week delve into themes of love and self-transcendence, awakening to the transformative power within.
The audiobook weaves the poignant stories of five women, each grappling with their own shadows—closeted truths, career turmoil, abandonment, trauma, and self-doubt. Their journey through The Orchid’s program reveals the love and solutions they already have within, offering listeners a mirror to their own paths of transformation and self-realization.
“The Orchid” not only serves as a backdrop for this collective voyage but stands as a symbol of growth and rebirth. Listeners will find themselves reflected in the struggles and triumphs of these women, gaining insights and tools for their own life challenges. This audiobook promises an immersive experience into the heart of women’s empowerment, promising not just a story, but a journey towards inner love and power.
Narrated by Robin McAlpine. Featuring “Heirloom,” a song by Sam-Maher.

Story
Connie Goodwin is an expert on America’s fractured past with witchcraft. A young, tenure-track professor in Boston, she’s earned career success by studying the history of magic in colonial America - especially women’s home recipes and medicines - and by exposing society's threats against women fluent in those skills. But beyond her studies, Connie harbors a secret: She is the direct descendant of a woman tried as a witch in Salem, an ancestor whose abilities were far more magical than the historical record shows.

Some days Nora Nolan thinks that she and her husband, Charlie, lead a charmed life - except when there’s a crisis at work, a leak in the roof at home, or a problem with their twins at college. And why not? New York City was once Nora’s dream destination, and her clannish dead-end block has become a safe harbor, a tranquil village amid the urban craziness. Then one morning she returns from her run to discover that a terrible incident has shaken the neighborhood, and the fault lines begin to open: on the block, at her job, especially in her marriage.

Their older sister, stubborn and insolent 17-year-old Antoinette, finds herself launched into the orbit of Émile Zola....

Story
It’s 1995, and Alex Dean has it all: a spot at Cambridge University next year, the love of an amazing woman named Holly and all the time in the world ahead of him. That is until a brutal encounter with a ghost from his past sees him beaten, battered and almost drowning in the Thames. He wakes the next day to find he’s in a messy, derelict room he’s never seen before, in grimy clothes he doesn’t recognize, with no idea of how he got there. A glimpse in the mirror tells him he’s older—much older—and has been living a hard life, his features ravaged by time and poor decisions.

Generations have been taught that evolution implies there is no overarching purpose to our existence. Some scientists take this logic one step further, suggesting that evolution is intrinsically atheistic and goes against the concept of God. But is this true? By integrating emerging principles from a variety of scientific disciplines—ranging from evolutionary biology to psychology—Yale Professor Samuel Wilkinson provides a framework of evolution that implies not only that there is an overarching purpose to our existence, but what this purpose is.
