Jenny Fredrickson DNP: Owner of Ivy Raine Women’s Clinic.

Women’s Health – My Guest, Jenny Fredrickson DNP, Owner of Ivy Raine Women’s Clinic.
“Health is a state of mind, wellness is a state of being.”
There are very few things in this world that we can actually control.  Most things require us to adjust to the circumstance or reprioritize our decisions.  One of the things that no one can control is getting older.  If the good Lord allows you to keep breathing, then you will inevitably age.  Along with aging there will be changes that are bodies will go through, and some of the changes can make us feel different than ourselves.
Through popular request, this week I dove into a topic that effects millions of women around the world every day, and that’s menopause.  Understanding why a woman is going through mood changes or having hot flashes or having night sweats can be the first step in finding treatment and providing hope.  As hormone levels change and a woman’s body transitions to no longer having a menstrual cycle, many woman may feel like they are losing their minds.
My guest this week shares how her own physical changes inspired her to follow a path in medicine to help women not just cope with their bodies changes, but find a healthy lifestyle that enables them to enjoy life and be the best version of themselves.  Knowing that you have options and you are not the only one going through changes, as well as knowing what you are experiencing is normal, can be very comforting and provide hope for a better tomorrow.  You can learn more about Mrs. Jenny and her business by going to http://www.ivyrainewomensclinic.com

Devon Rickett | Survivor, Fighter and Overcomer

Unplanned Paths– My Guest, Devon Rickett, Survivor, Fighter and Overcomer.
“It is your reaction to adversity, not the adversity itself, that determines how your life story will develop.”
The mystery of life is one of those things that can be both exciting and terrifying all at the same time.  Having hope for your future and the ability to control the path in which we decide what we wish to become is something that no one should ever take for granted.  This week’s guest shares how his hopes, dreams and ambitions were suddenly disrupted without warning.
Finding purpose following a tragedy can be very difficult for anyone.  However, my guest Devon Rickett and his family, were faced with such a difficult path for a second time when he had a freak accident while driving home from the gym one evening.  Devon wasn’t in a place he wasn’t supposed to be or doing something he wasn’t supposed to be doing.  He was simply driving down the interstate after a workout when he hit a concrete barrier that had been flipped into the middle of the road after another vehicle had struck the barrier.
When Devon woke up the next day at the Med in downtown Memphis, TN, he was made aware that he was paralyzed from the waist down.  This news would be devastating for anyone at any age, but for a young guy in his 20’s, with his entire life in front of him this was impossible to believe.
Devon could have given up and decide to hate life, but instead, he made the decision to fight back and give everything he had to walking again.  His story of how his family, friends and girlfriend never left his side and his faith in God is both heartwarming and inspirational.  You are sure to find strength through this young man’s testimony and I know that Devon Rickett is going to do big things in this world!

John Clayton White: Lead Guitarist and Singer of the John Clayton White and the 662 Band

Blues Prodigy– My Guest, John Clayton White, Lead Guitarist and Singer of the John Clayton White and the 662 Band.
“Blues is a tonic for whatever ails you. I play the blues and then not be blue anymore.” ~ B. B. King
There is something special when someone discovers that they have a talent for something.  However, it is something magical when that person’s talent becomes their passion.  My guest this week is Mr. John Clayton White and he is a 13 year old guitarist that loves singing and playing the blues.
Mr. White noticed that he had an affinity for music at the young age of 5 when he started with his first drum set.  Like most young people he gravitated toward the things that he found an interest in.  Playing baseball and basketball was fun, but he said at the age of 9 he really started to love playing the guitar.  Getting a chance to perform at a fair he knew he wanted to be a performer.
Using YouTube as his guide, he practiced learning how to play the guitar and it wasn’t long before he was performing at clubs and other venues regularly.  This eventually lead him to forming the John Clayton White and the 662 Band.  Mr. White recently put out his first record in which he wrote the songs and the music and says he is working on putting out his second record later this year.
I am excited to see where this young man goes in this world.  My guess is, he will inspire many by playing the blues and spreading joy.  John Clayton White will be competing in the International Blues Challenge Regional band competition on October 13th at Club Ebony in Indianola.  Winning there will send them to the International Blues Challenge in Memphis on Jan. 8th.  You can learn more about John Clayton White by going to http://www.johnclaytonwhitemusic.com and follow him on his FB, IG, TikTok and YT channels.  On his website, you can order merch as well as his first EP.

Martin Fritz: Dream Catcher, Principal Engineer at Arizona Public Service

Dream Catcher– My Guest, Martin Fritz, Principal Engineer at Arizona Public Service.
“All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.” ~ Walt Disney
I feel like most of us have dreams and ambitions when we are kids.  Then as we get older a funny thing happens, we settle into a lifestyle and those dreams will slowly fade for a number of reasons.  Maybe we start to doubt the possibilities of achieving those dreams or maybe we become comfortable and fear failing or maybe we simply can’t see the path to achieving those dreams.
Regardless of what obstacles are placed in front of us or what obstacles we think are in front of us, when we get older we simply lose that fearlessness needed to chase something that is not guaranteed.  Well, this week’s guest has never seen those barriers.  At some point in his life, he realized whether he subconsciously chose to pursue those dreams, or it just happened, he checked a ton of boxes.
Mr. Fritz grew up in the small European country of Austria and early in his life he dreamed of jobs in public service.  After graduating high school with a lot of college under his belt he entered the military.  After four years of military service he transitioned to firefighting and then flying helicopters and then security.  To say he was willing to take chances would be an understatement.
You will certainly be intrigued to hear all of Mr. Fritz’s life adventures and how at an early age he up and moved to America without knowing anyone in the entire country.  His zest for life is infectious and I can speak for myself when I say his courage to attack life is inspiring.

Feed my Lambs Ministry: No Child Goes Hungry

No Child Goes Hungry  – My Guests, Neil Colley, Billie Wilhite, and Sandy Marbry  work with the nonprofit organization, ‘Feed my Lambs Ministry’.
“If you cannot feed a hundred people, then feed one.” ~ Mother Teresa
It might come as a surprise to some of you that kids right here in America go hungry every day at school.  Even with reduced school lunch for those that qualify there will be kids that have nothing to eat all day at school.  There are probably a myriad of reasons why a kid would not have food to eat.  Whether it is the parents that simply don’t have the money to pay for the school lunch or they have a complete disconnect to responsibility.  The reason is actually irrelevant in my opinion
It was 2012 when Mrs. Jennifer Wilhite noticed that some students at Walls Elementary were going without lunch when she decided to investigate.  A few of the children didn’t have money in their lunch account and were going all day without eating.  Not being someone to just find a problem and draw attention to it, Mrs. Wilhite took action.  She brought her concern to her church and immediately found that others wanted to take action.  From that day forward she set out to make sure every kid that needed assistance would have something eat.
Initially, it was just 7 kids, but that number quickly grew over the years.  Eventually the ‘Feed my Lambs Ministry’ spread to include Lake Cormorant schools as well.  As the number of students grew, so did the number of volunteers.  The organization is funded completely by donations and every single dollar goes to help the children.  A fundraiser is being held on September 28th in the town of Walls to help with this effort.  If you want to learn more or even consider joining as a volunteer you can go to www.minor memorial.org/lamb

Danette Smith: Life after Wilson’s Disease

Life after Wilson’s Disease  – My Guest, Danette Smith, Ambassador at Mid-South Transplant Center.
“Organ donation is not a tragedy, but it can be a beautiful light in the midst of one.”
Most people will face an emergency or life alerting event at some point in their life.  It is never about what has happened to us, but rather what we do next.  I know you have heard several quotes like, “every dark cloud has a silver lining” or “my set back is nothing compared to my comeback”.  Having a positive mindset can many times determine how we make it through the storm.  Danette Smith would find herself having to draw on every positive thought she could muster and as she explains, she needed the help of her family and friends.
In 2016, Mrs. Smith started having a series of unexplained symptoms that would send her down a long road of seeing doctors and having tests ran to find out what was causing the issues.  Eventually, Mrs. Smith was diagnosed with a rare form of Stills Disease.  This condition is usually found in children but Mrs. Smith had developed this condition well into her adult years.
Several years went by with her managing this new illness in her life when she found herself becoming increasingly more sick, with new symptoms.  This again set her progress back and in 2021 Mrs. Smith found herself with a new diagnosis of Wilson’s Disease, which is an abundance of copper build up in the liver causing cirrhosis.  She explains how her condition continued to deteriorate until she was at death’s door.  A liver transplant was the only thing that could help and it was this tragic event that led her to become a volunteer and mentor for organ transplants.  Mrs. Smith could have easily considered herself to be the victim of some unfair breaks in life, but instead she sees her years of struggle as a gift that now she can use to help and encourage others to press on when life deals you a tough hand.

Keith Norman: The Ultimate Sacrifice

The Ultimate Sacrifice  – My Guest, Keith Norman, Retired Memphis Firefighter.
“There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friend.” ~ John 15:13
It can go without saying that some jobs carry certain risks and when you choose those jobs it is important to consider the “what if’s”.  Being a firefighter on a busy department means that you are going to face dangers much more often.  This can actually be a benefit sometimes because you will gain a ton of experience in a short amount of time, but it can also be a detriment, because you will be put in difficult situations much more often
My guest this week not only faced those dangers on a regular basis, but he had family that worked alongside him on the same department.  Jeffrey and Keith were only separated by a few years and as the years went by, Jeffrey found himself following the path of his older brother.
Keith had been on the job for several years prior to Jeffrey joining.  It just so happened that Jeffrey and I came on Memphis together and got to know each other during fire school.  After we both graduated from fire school we were assigned to fire station 10 on South Parkway.  It was only 3 months after being assigned there that my Lieutenant was killed in the Frayser Dollar Store fire.  There was no way to know at that time how so many things would suddenly become intertwined.
Keith shares what life was like after his brother being killed on the job and how his brother’s last act on this earth was to shield his guy from the collapsing roof.  Jeffrey’s action saved a fellow firefighter that day and Memphis lost one of the good ones.
