    Make A Difference Minute: What Really Matters
    2026/05/20
    On this Make A Difference Minute, I’m focusing on “What Really Matters.” We live in a world that constantly tells us to chase more success, more possessions, more recognition, more things. Tomorrow, I’m sharing a reminder that life isn’t measured by what you own. It’s measured by relationships, kindness, memories, & the impact we have on the people around us. The things that matter most are the things money cannot buy. This MADM is brought to you by J. Calvert Farms, proudly supporting stories and the people who make our communities strong. Real stories.

  • Kids for Life with Melissa Mathieson

    Kids for Life with Melissa Mathieson
    2026/05/19
    Tonight, I'm joined by Melissa Mathieson, director and co-founder of Kids for Life. Children entering foster care often face uncertainty and difficult transitions. Many arrive with very little and are stepping into situations that can feel overwhelming. Melissa will share how Kids for Life is working to support children and foster families across Northwest Alabama by helping provide practical resources and reminders that these children are seen, valued, and cared for. We’ll talk about the heart behind the organization, the needs many families face that people may never realize, and the ways communities can come together to make a difference. Sometimes helping a child does not require becoming a foster parent. Sometimes it simply starts with choosing to care and finding a way to help. Listen in as we spotlight a mission built around hope, support, and helping children know they matter. Real stories. Real people. Real impact. News That Unites!™️

    Make A Difference Minute: Carrying More Than a Backpack
    2026/05/19
    On this Make A Difference Minute, I have Melissa Matheson, Director and Co-Founder of Kids For Life, sharing about the realities many children face when entering foster care and the support needed for both children and foster families. Melissa explains that many children enter care because of circumstances involving neglect, abuse, or addiction in the home, often arriving with very few belongings and carrying burdens most people never see. Kids For Life is working to support not only children, but entire foster families, recognizing that helping families succeed creates a stronger foundation for children during difficult transitions.

    On this Make A Difference Minute, I'm sharing about the “The Power of Encouragement” Life can get heavy. People carry stress, worry, family struggles, health concerns, & burdens that are often hidden behind a smile. Today, I’m sharing a reminder that sometimes the smallest things can make the biggest difference, a kind word, a thoughtful message, or a simple moment of encouragement. You may never know what someone else is carrying, but you might have the ability to help lighten the load.

  • Make A Difference Minute: Don't Ignore the Warning Signs

    Make A Difference Minute: Don't Ignore the Warning Signs
    2026/05/17
    On this Make A Difference Minute, I talk with Dr. W. Craig Noblett, President of the American Association of Endodontists, about the connection between oral health and overall health. Dental problems aren't always just about teeth. Infections and untreated issues can affect daily life and, in some cases, become serious health concerns. Dr. Noblett shares warning signs people should pay attention to, including sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, pain while biting, and discomfort that could signal a bigger issue developing. Sometimes taking care of a small problem early can prevent a much bigger one later.
