Prayed Upon is the story of one woman’s escape from the abuse of a respected, church-going psychiatrist. Amy reaches out to Dr. Dolion for help with depression, but instead of providing healing, he leads her down a path of deception and betrayal. His office, which initially feels like a sanctuary, becomes a psychological prison, one from which Amy will have to fight to free herself.
Prayed Upon, a true story depicts Amy’s journey from victim to thriving child of God. Her brutal honesty provides an inside look at the warped beliefs that early abuse instills; beliefs that make adult victims vulnerable to sexual predators. Her story shines a light on the under-reported sexual abuse of adults and ultimately the way victims can gain freedom from the bondage of shame that abuse leaves behind.
This story captured nationwide attention. I will include a couple of news clips.

For your upcoming stories, please consider Dyester Corp and Domespaces by Barry Sendach, a line of eco-friendly outdoor structures that span glamping, camping, dining, weddings and corporate events, with innovative 'Domespaces,' 'Yurtspaces,' and 'Moduspaces' encompassing domes, yurts, modular bathrooms and kitchens, tailored to different types of lifestyles. Regarding current Brian Laundrie news, Barry Sendach, founder of the company says "If he has a geodesic dome that he covers up in the wilderness, Brian should be able to hide indefinitely if he is a true survivor. The dome will protect him from the elements and afford him the luxury of safety from the outside." Barry is available to discuss the following:
-The macro picture of how domes are popping up worldwide and where his company fits in
-Are domes and 'van life' the future of living spaces with prices of homes skyrocketing? -His response to Brian Laundrie being out in the wilderness and how his products speak to this -How Domespaces answer every glamper's and camper's needs in terms of amenities, remote lifestyle, nature's best and an incredible view -How the customizable dome selection process works- build your own dome and choose colors and materials to adapt to personal lifestyle habits -How to create the perfect wedding or corporate event using domes as an experience Launching in 2017, Barry broke into the outdoor business with shipping container homes and alternative uses for the containers. He found a niche in products that complimented the container business, and thus the domes were born. He says. "There has been an uptick in sales since the pandemic. Everything from the way people live, work, shop, educate has changed, including the way people vacation. There is a worldwide demand to be outside and the domes offer an inexpensive way to live in nature, while enjoying the comforts of home in a cool structure. With home prices reaching all time highs and work being flexible as office presence is not mandatory, people of all ages and economic levels are leaving urban areas in search of low-cost housing with safe environments. Domes are catching on in all climates and terrains due to their versatility and size availability." Domes are ideal for special events like weddings, corporate meetings, trade shows, immersive theaters and large scale event planners are dressing up these domes for experiential events. Seeing a dramatic spike in the amount of campgrounds in the US and launching glass and PVC domes, Domespaces carries one of the largest varieties in the world for outdoor living. The company offers an array of accessories used in the domes and offers secondary market items including fully functional bathrooms and kitchens, along with second level spaces or lofts that enlarge the space using the same footprint.

While storefronts are shutting down, digital custom suit brand, INHERENT opened a brick and mortar store in midst of pandemic. Though expanding on the digital front, the personal tailor with impeccable service and the convenience of a digital concierge understood the importance of human connection and touch and interaction with fashion. INHERENT inspires bold confidence through custom menswear, providing modern-day “suits of armor” while empowering communities to speak openly about mental health. Built to battle the all-too-common “walk it off” and “man up” approaches to mental health struggles, Inherent Clothier helps men build a fully functional, versatile wardrobe that awakens inherent inner confidence and authentic self-expression. The first INHERENT store opened their doors in June 2021 and plans to expand internationally.
Taylor Draper, CEO and co-founder of INHERENT can relate and talk to many , as he has dealt with his own struggles with depression, Opening up about feelings through fashion, Draper is offering everyone to walk in his shoes, and suit, literally. Taylor’s eye opening story started when his marriage was struggling and and he was at a very low point, one thing he decided to do for himself, and his marriage was to get up, get dressed (in a suit) every day, this was the start of Draper advocating for his own health. Suiting up saved his marriage and never looked back.

Taylor Draper is the CEO and co-founder of INHERENT: custom made menswear that offers personal styling with a mental health mission. Built on Draper’s own struggles with depression, INHERENT designs modern-day “suits of armor” that awaken the inner confidence to battle anxiety, overwhelm, and self-doubt. Following a troubled childhood in Anchorage, Alaska, Draper reached the age of 15 weighing over 300 pounds and was diagnosed with clinical depression. At 16, he and his mother relocated to Colorado Springs, where Draper found the courage to make a fresh start and get healthy - both physically and mentally. A natural entrepreneur, he left home at the earliest opportunity to establish a website and graphic design company at age 18, where he learned the basics of business-building, marketing, and brand development. In 2017, after years of demanding 60-hour work weeks, Draper found himself battling crippling self-doubt, struggling with weight gain, and facing divorce. In order to save himself and his marriage, Draper sought healing and support through extensive counseling and found confidence in the most surprising of places: his wardrobe. “I realized that caring for myself and my appearance gave me the confidence to show up to counseling appointments, helping me build strength to pick up the pieces of a broken marriage and begin to repair.” Draper established the brand INHERENT which started as an online custom suit store where men could shop affordable luxury styles in the comfort of their own home. Today, their flagship store is open in Colorado Springs and the company advances men’s mental wellness through their non-profit: Foundation by Inherent. The Foundation by Inherent is creating programs, resources, and events to change the face of men’s mental wellness. A portion of all sales made, and employee’s time gets put directly into the Foundation. The larger goal for Draper is normalizing feelings of anxiety, depression, or self-doubt while sparking honest conversation around mental health, ultimately giving men the confidence and courage to speak out. “My mission will not be complete until phrases like ‘walk it off’ or ‘man up’ are redefined in our vocabulary to mean that a man is in touch with his feelings, and can communicate them in a healthy way. Every man’s first instinct should be to open up about feelings of overwhelm or depression without shame, guilt, or fear.” Through Inherent, Draper helps men build fully functional, versatile wardrobes that awaken confidence and authentic self-expression. The company also partners with local and national organizations working to empower individuals and communities to speak openly about mental health. A fan of golf, MMA, Jiu Jitsu, and Formula 1, Draper recharges by playing golf and spending time with his family. Learn more at https://thisisinherent.com.

It is a hardship she knows well. When she was growing up in Louisiana, a random driver’s negligent act caused an accident that seriously injured her mother, who was raising Candice alone. Candice, who was also in the vehicle, saw firsthand how lives can be changed forever and drastically in an instant. The accident itself was only the beginning. Just 8 years old at the time, Candice was astute enough to question the intentions of the attorneys involved. She also saw the insurance companies act in their own interest. To Candice, the message was clear: People need lawyers who genuinely care about them and the tragedies they endure. Candice works tirelessly to see Bond Legal thrive as a heart-centered firm, by tending to day-to-day operations, marketing, and building a team of visionaries and leaders to further the mission. She earned her law degree graduating from California Western School of Law, San Diego, in 2005. She passed the California Bar Exam on her first attempt. Now she and her partners are licensed to practice law in states across the country. Candice guides Bond Legal as a national advocate and philanthropist. The firm represents and protects catastrophically injured clients from coast to coast. It is a cause in which Candice finds deep meaning – and the fuel to fight even harder. She knows how a catastrophic accident changes a family’s life in an instant, whether the injury is fatal or permanently disabling. Everything is impacted – jobs, marriages, futures. Financial devastation comes quickly with mounting medical bills and loss of income. Easing that trauma for people is the fight Candice has battled passionately as the leader of Bond Legal. She lives her life as an advocate for every person she takes on as a Client. Candice ensures that Bond Legal continues its philanthropy on a national scale, providing relief with donations and scholarships and providing legal services pro bono when needed. When she is not advocating for her clients, Candice loves spending time with her son, Justice Bond. |
Andrea Bernholtz
As the fashion design/manufacturing landscape shifts toward a steadfast focus on environmental impact, SWIMINISTA Founder Andréa Bernholtz stands out as an example of modern entrepreneurship at its best. The Rock & Republic Co-Founder and serial mompreneur is pioneering a better swimwear experience, complete with fully adjustable, personalized fits in sizes A-DD that offer ultra-flattering support for every unique body. What’s more, the brand’s mindful production methods help to reduce the industry’s carbon footprint, resulting in a consciously crafted product that shoppers can feel great about. This Earth Day, Bernholtz shares her proactive approach to building a business that prioritizes the future of our planet all year long. “‘Earth Day is everyday’ should be the motto for all entrepreneurs across every industry in 2021,” says Bernholtz. “The best way to maintain a strong focus on environmental impact is to create a sustainable model from the ground-up, built around eco-friendly values that support a thriving future for our next generation.” United States
California native Andréa Bernholtz is the serial mom-preneur and fashion powerhouse behind the eco-conscious SWIMINISTA brand. Known for co-founding the luxury denim line Rock & Republic in 2002, she helped to transform the company into a celebrity favorite and globally recognized name offering cosmetics, accessories, and clothing. In 2015, she became the CEO of Titan Industries, adding high-fashion footwear to her resume. Her latest venture features chic swimwear that combines her love of fashion, swimming, and the environment. “I have never been able to find a swimsuit that fits just right,” explains Bernholtz. “If it holds me up, it looks like a sports bra or too old-fashioned. Otherwise, it doesn’t provide the right support and I pop out all the time!” In 2019, after speaking with hundreds of women experiencing the same issues, Bernholtz set out to create the solution herself, co-founding the SWIMINISTA collection. Based on her previous work at global lifestyle brand Rock & Republic and first-hand experience with the waste-filled fashion industry, she set out to not only build a better suit but also a better design process. The result is a collection of ultra-comfortable swimwear featuring a soft, luxurious nylon fabric made from post-consumer plastics. Figure-flattering tops, bottoms, and one-pieces can be mixed and matched, offering timeless silhouettes in adjustable, customized fits designed to inspire confidence from size A to DD. The SWIMINISTA online boutique also makes the shopping experience a breeze. A personalized sizing guide helps customers easily find the right suit for their unique body. SWIMINISTA’s convenient “Try At Home” solution eliminates the soul-destroying try-on process. Customers can choose a selection of suits to test in the comfort and privacy of home, and - true to the company’s environmental values - all orders arrive in earth-friendly recycled, compostable packaging. When Bernholtz isn’t perfecting the SWIMINISTA line, she can be found spending time with her daughter or sharing industry insights with various publications like US Weekly’s “Fashion Police.” Passionate about the planet, she also regularly coordinates community beach clean-ups and gives time to organizations working to protect the environment, such as Heal the Bay, Oceania, and The Galapagos Conservancy.

David Heeren
Bible scholar David S. Heeren says there is evidence indicating we have entered the early phase of the end of days. Yet he remains optimistic. His latest book on end-time prophecy, End-Time Living: Despite Conflict and Hardship, All Is Well, defines a Christian lifestyle that will produce fulfillment and joy even under the prophesied duress of the end-time. Heeren posits that no matter what believers must endure during the tribulation — and no matter how bad things get — those who stand firm for Him until the end will be blessed. “This book’s greatest theme by far is love,” Heeren says. “I have been trained as an evangelist, but there can be no greater evangelism tool in the world than the redemptive love Jesus displayed on the cross.” End-Time Living draws its messaging from the second half of the Bible, featuring details from relevant sermons of Jesus (Matthew 5-7, 24 and Luke 21) and the eight chapters of the beautiful allegory, Song of Songs. 1. According to Jesus, what are some events we can expect to happen during the end-time? 2. "Betrayal and persecution were mentioned by Jesus. In the beatitudes he said when we are persecuted our heavenly reward is great. How should we respond if and when we experience hardships like these? 3. How can we prepare for whatever may happen to us, good or bad? 4. When confronted by someone we know is not a Christian, what should be our primary prayer and thought? (my answer: How to share the gospel with that person) 5. What are the most important attitudes that can be manifest through us by the Holy Spirit under difficult circumstances? (my answer would include love, faith and forgiveness) 6. There is an important issue that was left undiscussed in End-Time Living. What is it? Ask me about it. United States
David S. Heeren is an award-winning journalist and author of 17 books. A personal prayer identical to that of Isaiah (Is. 6:8) led him to change his career emphasis from sports writing to Christian writing in 2007. Since that time, he has published nine books with Christian themes, five of which deal with biblical end-time prophecy. His previous book, The High Sign, which identifies the most likely sign of Jesus’ Second Coming, received a double-four-star (perfect) rating from the Online Book Club — the highest rating awarded by the club. |
