Dr. Tiwalola Osunfisan Releases Powerful New Book Helping Readers Heal Emotional Pain, Discover Meaning, and Reclaim Peace

Many people appear successful on the outside, faithful, accomplished, dependable, yet privately feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, and disconnected from peace or purpose. In her deeply impactful new book, “When the Mind Cries,” Dr. Tiwalola Osunfisan offers a compassionate, evidence-based pathway to healing emotional pain and rediscovering meaning, purpose, and peace.


Blending modern neuroscience, trauma-informed psychiatry, and faith-informed wisdom, “When the Mind Cries” speaks to a growing population of emotionally burdened yet high-functioning adults, including people of faith and those who are spiritually curious, who have learned how to survive, perform, and serve, but struggle to truly feel whole.


“Faith does not make us immune to adversity,” says Dr. Osunfisan. “It gives us meaning, direction, and the capacity to move through hardship with hope and purpose.”


A double-board-certified psychiatrist, mindset strategist, and transformational speaker, Dr. Osunfisan explains what emotional pain truly is, how trauma reshapes the brain and nervous system, and why unresolved experiences often resurface as anxiety, burnout, depression, relational strain, or repeating life patterns. With clinical clarity and deep compassion, she guides readers to:

Understand how emotional pain is stored in the brain and body
Regulate the nervous system and interrupt toxic emotional cycles
Integrate faith and values without spiritual bypassing or shame
Heal unresolved wounds while renewing thought patterns
Move from emotional survival to peace, purpose, and sustainable wholeness




Grounded in real-life stories, practical tools, and evidence-based insight, “When the Mind Cries” is both clinically credible and spiritually accessible, offering a rare bridge between mental health care, personal growth, and faith-integrated transformation.


To support readers beyond insight alone, the book is accompanied by an optional, complimentary digital workbook designed to help individuals reflect, apply key concepts, and translate awareness into meaningful, lasting change.


Early reader response has been strong, with “When the Mind Cries” reaching #1 on Amazon in the Nervous System Diseases category, underscoring its relevance at the intersection of neuroscience, emotional regulation, and whole-person healing.


Dr. Osunfisan is the founder of Transformed Mind Wellness, where she equips leaders, healthcare professionals, and communities with psychologically sound, values-informed tools for emotional wellness, resilience, and purpose-driven living. She is also a John Maxwell–certified trainer and a sought-after global speaker on emotional intelligence, trauma recovery, and meaningful leadership.


In 2025, “When the Mind Cries” reached an international audience when it was showcased at the Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany, introducing its message of emotional healing, meaning, and peace to readers worldwide.


Early readers describe the book as “liberating,” “deeply validating,” and “a masterclass in emotional and spiritual healing.” One reviewer writes, “This book doesn't shame your pain—it explains it, honors it, and shows you how to heal.”


“When the Mind Cries” invites readers to finally name what hurts, break generational patterns, and step into a more grounded, resilient, and purpose-filled life.


The book is available at The Reading Glass Books, on Amazon, and through major online retailers.

Victory Square Technologies Reports Fiscal 2025 Results Highlighting Platform Scaling, Healthcare Infrastructure Growth and Portfolio Momentum

Maryjane Spillane Introduces “A Single Touch: Queen of the Hill,” a Bold, Cinematic Story with Global Film Potential

Maryjane Spillane's novel, “A Single Touch: Queen of the Hill,” introduces a daring and unfiltered coming-of-age story that explores desire, identity, and personal freedom. With its raw emotional tone and intimate storytelling, the book carries the same provocative energy and cinematic appeal found in films such as “Nymphomaniac,” offering a narrative that is both controversial and compelling for modern audiences.


At the center of the story is Maria, a nineteen-year-old single mother whose chance encounter with a charming marine veteran sparks a transformative journey. What begins as curiosity quickly evolves into a series of passionate encounters that shape her into a bold, self-assured woman unafraid to pursue her desires. The narrative unfolds with the intensity and realism of character-driven films, capturing both the thrill and consequences of living without restraint.


Readers describe “A Single Touch: Queen of the Hill” as unapologetic and immersive, drawing them into a world that is as emotionally charged as it is provocative. Much like “Eyes Wide Shut,” the story delves into themes of intimacy, secrecy, and personal exploration, creating a vivid, almost cinematic rhythm that translates seamlessly to visual storytelling.


Spillane's diverse life experiences, from working in sales and hospitality to becoming a sommelier and bartender in Las Vegas, bring authenticity and depth to her writing. Her personal journey through marriage, motherhood, and independence informs the narrative's honesty, making it resonate as both a story of liberation and self-discovery. These elements combine to position the book as a strong candidate for adaptation into a bold, character-led film.


A “Single Touch: Queen of the Hill” is more than a novel. It is a film-ready story that challenges conventions and explores the complexities of desire and autonomy. With its vivid scenes, emotionally driven narrative, and fearless protagonist, it offers producers and readers alike a gripping exploration of modern identity and human connection.

Butterflies, Bears, and Big Lessons: How Patricia Herber's Poetry Inspires Learning, Safety, and Community Awareness

Children learn best when joy, rhythm, and imagination come together, and Patricia Herber captures this beautifully in “Butterflies, Bears, and Other Poems for Children.” This delightful collection blends playful poetry with colorful illustrations, instantly drawing young readers into a world where learning feels fun and engaging.


Curiosity & Learning Through Observation

About the Author


Patricia Herber, the middle child in a family of eight, fondly remembers growing up with Mother Goose rhymes and jumping rope to playful chants. Today, she brings that same joy to children as the author of “Butterflies, Bears, and Other Poems for Children,” a collection of rhyming poems inspired by her years teaching first grade.


Her poems, filled with fun facts and colorful illustrations, help children learn while exploring topics like teddy bears, butterflies, dinosaurs, holidays, and everyday lessons about fire safety, dental care, and more. Patricia wrote in rhyme to revive a tradition she feels is fading, believing it helps children build vocabulary, spark imagination, and enjoy meaningful time with parents or grandparents away from screens.


The book's title reflects her love of butterflies and bears—monarchs that visit her garden and playful bear cubs that inspired her poems. Highlights include Monarch Queen, Bear Cubs, and Teddy Bears.


Patricia holds a B.S. in Elementary Education from Shippensburg University and a master's from Penn State University. A retired first-grade teacher from Pine Grove Area School District, she lives in Pine Grove, PA, with her husband, Larry, and their two grown children and five grandchildren, for whom the book is dedicated. In retirement, she enjoys traveling, reading, attending school events, and nurturing a lifelong love of reading in her grandchildren.

EVR Products Announces Enhanced Lineup of Industrial Pinch Valves for Demanding Flow Control Applications

SUDBURY, ON - May 01, 2026 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
EVR Products announced today the enhancement of its industrial pinch valve lineup, reflecting continued investment in advanced flow control solutions for complex and abrasive process environments. The announcement underscores the company’s focus on addressing evolving operational requirements across multiple industrial sectors where reliability, material compatibility, and consistent shutoff performance are critical.
The enhanced pinch valve lineup incorporates updated elastomer sleeve options, refined valve body configurations, and expanded sizing availability intended to support a broader range of operating pressures and media types. These updates are designed to align with current industry expectations for fluid handling systems used in applications involving slurries, corrosive chemicals, granular solids, and high-viscosity fluids.
Pinch valves are widely recognized for their ability to provide full-bore flow, minimal pressure drop, and effective isolation of the process media from mechanical components. EVR Products’ enhanced offerings continue to emphasize these core functional characteristics while responding to increased demand for durability and consistency in harsh operating conditions commonly found in mining, wastewater treatment, chemical processing, food production, and pharmaceutical manufacturing environments.
According to the company, the updated lineup reflects ongoing evaluation of real-world operating data and customer feedback collected across long-standing industrial installations. By refining sleeve geometries and elastomer formulations, the enhanced valves are intended to deliver extended service life while maintaining dependable shutoff performance, even in applications involving abrasive or shear-sensitive materials.
Gary Waldick, Vice President of EVR Products, stated that the announcement represents a measured step forward in the company’s product development strategy. “Our focus has always been on practical engineering that supports long-term operational reliability,” Waldick said. “These enhancements reflect careful consideration of how pinch valves are used in the field and how material science and manufacturing refinements can support more consistent performance over time.”
The expanded lineup includes configurations suitable for both manual and automated valve actuation, supporting integration with pneumatic control systems commonly used in modern industrial automation environments. This flexibility allows operators to maintain precise control over flow rates while reducing maintenance demands associated with traditional valve designs that rely on internal mechanical components exposed to process media.
EVR Products noted that the enhanced pinch valves continue to support straightforward installation and maintenance practices. Because the elastomer sleeve functions as the primary wear component. This design consideration is intended to help facilities minimize downtime while maintaining consistent process control.
In addition to performance considerations, the announcement reflects broader industry trends toward equipment standardization and lifecycle cost management. As manufacturers and plant operators seek to balance capital investment with long-term operational efficiency, pinch valves are increasingly specified for applications where conventional gate, ball, or butterfly valves may experience accelerated wear.
The enhanced lineup also aligns with regulatory and safety considerations that influence valve selection in industrial environments. By isolating the process media within the elastomer sleeve, pinch valves can help reduce the risk of leakage and contamination, which remains a priority in regulated processing sectors.
EVR Products has indicated that the updated pinch valve range is now available for specification across new installations and retrofit projects. Detailed technical information, including material options, sizing ranges, and application guidance, is available through the company’s official product documentation.
The announcement reinforces the company’s long-standing role within the industrial flow control market, where specialization in elastomer-based valve solutions has remained central to its engineering and manufacturing approach. By continuing to refine its pinch valve offerings, EVR Products aims to support industries that depend on predictable, low-maintenance flow control under challenging process conditions.
