Xulon Press presents a biblical study on infertility from a woman whose frustration almost crushed her soul.

THEODORE, Ala., Sept. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Author Katie Johnson explores how to experience God’s goodness, even when our circumstances don’t make sense, in Waiting Expectantly: Rejecting The Lies Of Infertility And Embracing The Truth Of God’s Word ($16.49, paperback, 9798868524509; $7.99, e-book, 9798868524516).

Johnson worked as a nurse with a doctor who specialized in infertility, and eventually became one of his patients. During her struggle with her own condition, as well as those of her patients, she inevitably encountered the question: How can God be good if He allows bad things to happen to good people? She sought through the Scriptures for answers, and eventually found the peace and reassurance she sought.

“I wrote this book unintentionally, as it started out as a therapeutic exercise to find answers to my questions. I found navigating infertility very daunting and I needed to know what it meant, what its purpose was, and what I was supposed to do in the midst of it. I wanted to figure out how to beat it, but ultimately, I figured out how to embrace it,” said Johnson.

Katie Johnson is an operating room RN in Mobile, Alabama. Her faith has always been a major part of her life. God was more to her than a thing to vaguely associate with or flippantly claim as part of her identity. He was, and is, her identity. Johnson lives with her husband and 18-month-old son.

Xulon Press is the world’s largest Christian self-publisher, with more than 20,000 titles published to date. Waiting Expectantly: Rejecting The Lies Of Infertility And Embracing The Truth Of God’s Word is available online through xulonpress.com/bookstore, amazon.com, and barnesandnoble.com.

Practical playbook equips entrepreneurs and economic leaders with practical tools to survive floods, heat, wildfires, and more.

CHICAGO, Sept. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As extreme weather events disrupt commerce across the U.S., a new guide launching during Climate Week New York and in honor of National Preparedness Month is putting small businesses—and the communities that rely on them—at the forefront of climate resilience. The Resilience Advantage: A Small-Business Guide to Preparing for Floods, Heatwaves, Wildfires, and Other Climate Disasters, co-authored by Joyce Coffee and Robert Macnee, PhD, translates decades of field experience into practical tools for survival and growth.

“Resilience is no longer optional—it’s foundational,” said Coffee, who has advised federal, state and local governments, companies, philanthropies and nonprofits on climate risk and resilience. “Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, but they often lack access to the resources needed to withstand climate shocks. Nearly 40% of small businesses never reopen after a disaster This book helps close that gap,” notes Macnee.

Designed with busy entrepreneurs in mind, the 12-chapter guide includes:

• Clear overviews of key hazards like flooding, heat, and wildfire
• Practical checklists to reduce risks to property, operations, and finance
• Case studies, scenarios, and tools for recovery and relocation
• A dedicated chapter offering guidance for large businesses on supporting small business resilience
• First-of-its-kind generative AI prompts for small business resilience planning

The Resilience Advantage also speaks to a broader audience: economic development officials, city leaders, chambers of commerce, and philanthropic funders—all of whom play critical roles in strengthening the economic fabric of their communities.

“Almost every U.S. county has experienced a federally declared disaster in the past decade,” said Coffee. “And with federal safety nets shrinking, the burden of preparedness is shifting. That’s why CRC is committed to helping small businesses—and the institutions that serve them—prepare, adapt, and lead.”

“The Resilience Advantage aligns with growing demand for tools that turn climate science into local action” notes Macnee.

The book is available now in English and Spanish.

Pioneering entrepreneur disrupts the silence with science, community, and commerce—redefining midlife and longevity as power stages of life.

DALLAS, Sept. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Gaby Natale, triple Emmy-winning journalist, bestselling author, and globally recognized keynote speaker, has officially launched Menopausia.com, the first bilingual digital destination dedicated to empowering women through every stage of menopause and perimenopause.

At the intersection of health, technology, and cultural change, Menopausia.com is more than a platform—it’s a cultural reset for how we experience midlife. Created for the 1.2 billion women expected to be in menopause by 2030, the site offers expert-led content, searchable symptom-based solutions, and a curated marketplace—all in English and Spanish.

“This is not just another health site. It’s a white space I saw years ago—one where science, sisterhood, and storytelling could converge to rewrite the midlife narrative,” said Gaby Natale. “As a cancer survivor who went through medically-induced menopause in her 40s, I know how invisible women can feel in this stage of life. Menopausia.com is my answer: a place that treats us not as problems to be fixed, but as pioneers of a new chapter.”

A Platform Built to Inform, Connect and Inspire

Menopausia.com includes:

• Bilingual Blog: Actionable, evidence-based articles across three lifestyle pillars: Feel Good, Look Good, Live Well

• The MenoShop: A carefully curated and searchable store organized by symptom clusters (hot flashes, mood swings, sleep, intimacy, etc.)
• Brand & Institutional Partnerships: Custom activations and educational campaigns with companies committed to health equity, midlife wellness, and groundbreaking storytelling.

A Vision Rooted in Reinvention

Menopausia.com is the latest chapter in Natale’s lifelong work of pioneering paths where none existed. She’s been a first in many rooms: first Latina author published by HarperCollins Leadership, first Hispanic woman to win 3 Daytime EMMYs back-to-back, and now, a first-mover in the underserved $600B midlife health and wellness market.

“While the world chases trends, pioneers build what’s missing. That’s what Menopausia.com is about,” said Natale.

The launch is already generating attention from major players in the health, pharma, and innovation spaces with Microsoft becoming Menopausia’s first corporate client. Natale, who regularly speaks for Fortune 100 companies on innovation, reinvention, and leadership, sees Menopausia.com as both a business and a cultural intervention.

About Gaby Natale

Gaby Natale is a triple Emmy® Award-winning journalist, bestselling author, and top keynote speaker known for helping people and organizations spot overlooked opportunities and pioneer boldly into the future.

As the first Latina to win three Daytime Emmys® back-to-back, Gaby has built a reputation for breaking barriers with purpose. Her frameworks on innovation, leadership, and reinvention have inspired global brands like Google, Microsoft, Johnson & Johnson, and the United Nations.

Gaby is the founder of AGANARmedia, a marketing company serving Fortune 500 clients, and the creator of Menopausia.com, the first bilingual destination dedicated to perimenopause and menopause. Her work merges media, health advocacy, and personal storytelling to empower women in midlife and beyond.

A breast cancer survivor and Susan G. Komen official ambassador, Gaby uses her voice to raise awareness and spark change. She holds a master’s in journalism, is a bestselling author with HarperCollins Leadership, and has been featured in Forbes, CNN, and People’s “25 Most Powerful Latinas.”

With 50+ million views on YouTube and audiences worldwide, Gaby continues to redefine what’s possible—onstage, online, and in every season of life.

Committed to farmer partnerships and the future of organic dairy, Horizon Organic is also a sponsor of Farm Aid 40

BROOMFIELD, Colo., Sept. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Horizon Organic, a pioneer in organic dairy and the largest USDA-certified organic milk and dairy brand in the world,¹ operates under the belief that doing business and doing good should coexist and can be mutually beneficial. This month, Horizon is demonstrating its ongoing commitment to farmer partnership by today announcing the recipients of 2025 Horizon Organic Producer Education (HOPE) Scholarships and HOPE Awards, as well as sponsorship of Farm Aid 40. Horizon has a more than 30-year history of partnering with family farmers, building one-on-one relationships and investing in farmers in a way that allows them to operate more sustainable businesses.

Nearly 150,000 family owned and operated dairy farms ceased operations in the United States between 2017 to 2022, and approximately 300,000 of the 1.3 million active farmers are under the age of 35². Horizon Organic is committed to helping farmers be able to make decisions that lead to thriving farms by bolstering the future of organic farming and advancing the current food system. The HOPE Scholarship is an annual program that encourages young people from Horizon Organic farm families to seek careers within organic or sustainable agriculture and/or large animal veterinary science. The HOPE Awards are announced annually to celebrate Horizon Organic’s family farmer partners who demonstrate excellence and leadership in organic dairy farming.

The HOPE programs celebrate the achievements of Horizon Organic’s farmer partners who are raising the bar for organic dairy farming. Farmers learn how to care for their land through direct observation, hands-on experience, experimentation, and generational wisdom. They are not only experts, but also crucial partners in researching, innovating, and applying practices that contribute to more resilient agriculture.

“This month we are recognizing all our farmer partners do to provide Horizon Organic with high-quality organic milk, while also advancing organic farming overall and inspiring the next generation to join the organic movement,” said Tyler Holm, CEO of Horizon Family Brands. “From our Legacy HOPE Award winner, Chuck Deichmann, who has been supplying milk to Horizon for more than 25 years, to the scholarship recipients just beginning their farming career, we are proud of the partnership we share with each of our family farmer partners.”

Over the past 18 years, the HOPE Scholarship program has awarded 85 scholarships to young family members, including children or grandchildren, of Horizon farmer partners, totaling $236,500 in scholarships. This year’s scholarship winners are:

• Macey Dahl (Pavilion, N.Y.), Cottonwood Farms LLC
• Evan Frescura (Latrobe, Pa.), Sunrise Ridge Farm
• Jack Fry (Chestertown, Md.), Fair Hill Farms
• Rachel Hatch (Freedom, N.Y.), Emary Springs Farm
• Zackary Tillotson (Pavilion, N.Y.), Cottonwood Farms LLC

“Being named a 2025 HOPE Scholarship recipient for the third time is an incredible honor for both me and my family,” said HOPE Scholarship recipient Zackary Tillotson. “The financial support is meaningful, but more important is the recognition of the hard work and dedication that family farms like ours put into agriculture every day. It means so much to know that Horizon values the next generation of farmers and is committed to supporting our future. I’m extremely grateful for this investment in my education, while preparing to build on my family’s legacy in farming and continue our strong relationship with Horizon.”

HOPE Award recipients exemplify the power to create positive change in their communities by embracing and bringing to life the spirit of organic principles, serving as a model for other organic farmers and helping to secure the future of organic dairy farming. This year’s HOPE Award winners are:

• Farmer/Partner of the Year Award: Ben Stoltzfus (Parkesburg, Pa.), Swampy Hollow Farm
• Nature Award: Todd Frescura (Latrobe, Pa.), Frescura Farm and Sunrise Ridge Farm
• Social Award: Matt & Megan Fry (Chestertown, Md.), Fair Hill Farms
• Innovative/Pioneering Award: Riley Smith (American Falls, Idaho), Nature Ridge Organic Dairy
• Legacy Award: Chuck Deichmann (Belmont, N.Y.), Willow Creek Farm
• Young Farmer Award: Daniel Sparks (Cassopolis, Mich.), Sparks Cedarlee Farm
• Hauler of the Year: Idaho Milk Transport (Burley, Idaho)

Positioning our own extended community within the hallowed walls of Greentown will further foster the creation of authentic connections between founders and reduce friction to critical resources, bringing the village together will only accelerate the flywheel on innovation here in Houston, Texas,” said Jason Ethier, Energytech Nexus’s Founder Super Connector and Founding Partner.

This partnership is a continuation of long-standing ties between the two organizations. Ethier was a leader at one of the first startups to join Greentown at its founding in Cambridge, Mass. in 2011 and previously served on the incubator’s founding board of directors. Ethier and fellow Energytech Nexus Founding Partner Juliana Garaizar held leadership positions in the early days of Greentown Houston, which opened in 2021, and were instrumental in bringing Greentown to the city.

“This partnership has been a long time coming—our organizations are kindred spirits that need to be working together to enhance the entrepreneurial support systems available to climate innovators in Houston,” said Lawson Gow, Greentown’s Head of Houston. “Capital is a top priority for climate and energy founders, and this team-up will directly address this challenge.”

Startups interested in tapping into these offerings from Greentown and Energytech Nexus can get in touch here.

PARIS, Sept. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Reju^™, the purpose-driven, leading textile-to-textile regeneration company, is using augmented reality (AR) to give Climate Week NYC 2025 attendees and the city itself a dramatic look at the textile industry’s global waste problem. Launching on 22nd September, Reju’s AR experience overlays mountains of textile waste against two iconic New York City landmarks; the Empire State Building and Flatiron providing a powerful, shareable visualization of the sustainability crisis and the company’s role in solving it.

According to Textile Exchange, more than 92 million tons of textile waste are generated globally each year, most of it ending up in landfills or incinerated. Reju’s regeneration technology which originated with IBM research, is designed to change that by recovering, regenerating and recirculating end-of-life textiles into high-quality materials, closing the loop on textile waste.

Throughout Climate Week, New Yorkers will encounter QR code signage at high-traffic locations and near key Climate Week venues. Scanning the code leads users to an interactive microsite, where they can point their phone’s camera at the two landmark buildings to activate Reju’s AR filter.

As users swipe through the AR settings, they will see the amount of global textile waste generated in a second, minute, hour and day scaled to the size of the landmark in front of them. The experience delivers a visceral sense of the industry’s impact and highlights why innovation in sustainable materials is critical.

“Reju’s AR experience brings the invisible textile waste problem into sharp focus, right in the middle of New York City during a week when climate is top of mind,” said Patrik Frisk, CEO, Reju. “It’s a wake-up call, but also a glimpse of hope. This is the very waste Reju is designed to transform, turning discarded textiles into high-quality materials and closing the loop in fashion and beyond.”

Designed to meet audiences where they are, the AR activation enables New Yorkers and visitors to scan QR codes found on social media and near the landmarks and immerse themselves in the AR experience, record videos, and share their content on social media.

This campaign includes influencer partners who will share videos of the AR filter in action, inspiring followers to find the landmarks, try the filter themselves, and post their own content—amplifying the conversation and deepening engagement.

To participate in the experience, Climate Week attendees and the public can follow @Reju on social platforms and https://ar.reju.com/ to view the experience.

After using the AR filter, consumers are encouraged to share their footage with the hashtag #RejuClimateWeek, learn more about textile regeneration, and sign up to join Reju’s movement toward a circular textile economy.
