Welcome back to Week 4 of our Shut Up! Tell Me More Summer Replay Series! This summer, I'm revisiting some of my favorite conversations from the past two years, and this episode genuinely made me second guess everything I eat.My guest is Jake Engelen, better known as Jake the Farmer. And get this: according to Jake, "organic" is basically bullshit, and he explains exactly why. Whether you agree with him or not, he will absolutely make you think differently about food, farming, and what we're putting into our bodies.Jake has also lived what feels like nine different lives. He's served in combat in the military, worked as a finance bro, and now owns and operates his own regenerative farm, Coastal Pastures Farm, in Delray Beach, Florida.And one of my favorite parts of this conversation had nothing to do with farming at all. Jake shares the unbelievable story of his father, who was a convict on the run for years and was basically taunting police the entire time with his screen name. You truly have to hear it to believe it.This conversation is fascinating from beginning to end and is filled with stories, perspectives, and moments that will leave you thinking long after it's over.Follow the show: Rate the show ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and SUBSCRIBE on Apple & SpotifyInstagram: @shutuptellmemoreTikTok: @shutuptellmemorepodFull Video Episodes are Available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ShutUpTellMeMorePodcastMy Guest: Jake EngelenIG: @coastalpasturesfarms

Pam sits down with Forbes Riley, the Queen of the Pitch and one of the most successful women in the history of infomercials. Long before social media influencers existed, Forbes was building trust with millions of viewers and selling everything from the ThighMaster and Ab Roller to the Jack LaLanne Juicer, ultimately generating more than $2.5 billion in product sales.But behind the massive success is a story of resilience and reinvention.Forbes opens up about growing up as an awkward kid who struggled to communicate because of extensive orthodontic work, feeling like she never fit in, facing countless rejections, and enduring unimaginable heartbreak after the murder of the little boy she helped raise from the age of 12.Throughout every setback, she found creative ways to keep moving forward and refused to let her past define her future.Pam and Forbes go behind the scenes of the infomercial industry, discuss how Forbes became the original influencer, reveal her favorite product she ever sold, and dive into the lessons from her new book, Pitch Secrets: A to Z.But this conversation is about much more than sales and business.

What is happening to my body?If you've suddenly started waking up at 3 a.m., forgetting words, feeling anxious, losing your patience, shedding more hair than usual, turning the thermostat down when everyone else is freezing, or wondering where your libido went, you are not alone.In this episode of Shut Up! Tell Me More, I sit down with board-certified family medicine physician Dr. Alexandra Volo to talk about perimenopause and menopause, two stages of life that so many women enter completely unprepared for. We discuss what perimenopause actually is, the symptoms women often don't realize are hormone-related, including hot flashes, mood swings, anxiety, brain fog, sleep issues, hair loss, and low libido, whether there is a blood test for perimenopause, when menopause officially begins, and the treatment options available, from hormone therapy to natural approaches.Dr. Volo sees and treats women experiencing perimenopause and menopause every day in her practice, and she says the good news is this: women do not have to suffer through this transition feeling confused and alone.This episode is for women, and it's also for the people who know and love them. Men, I'm talking to you! Whether it's your wife, mom, sister, friend, loved one, or even your random neighbor (lol), chances are someone in your life is going through this. The more we understand what's happening, the more empathy and support we can give one another.Whether you're in your 30s, 40s, or 50s, or you love someone who is, this conversation may finally answer the question so many women are asking:What is happening to my body?Follow the show: Rate the show ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and SUBSCRIBE on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube:Instagram: @shutuptellmemoreTikTok: @shutuptellmemorepodFull Video Episodes are Available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ShutUpTellMeMorePodcastMy Guest: Dr. Alexandra Volo Instagram: @drvoloTikTok: @drvoloThe Menopause Society
The risk of developing ovarian cancer in a woman's lifetime is about 1 in 70. Most women don't know the symptoms, and many cases aren't diagnosed until the disease has already spread.Known as the "Whisper Killer," ovarian cancer often presents with subtle signs that are easy to dismiss. But as you'll hear in this episode, some women may have no symptoms at all.In this powerful episode of Shut Up! Tell Me More, host Pam Comiter sits down with ovarian cancer advocate and survivor Louise Altese Isidori to discuss the reality of this devastating disease. Louise has been featured on Good Morning America and in the New York Post, and has taken her advocacy all the way to Capitol Hill, fighting to make ovarian cancer screenings and conversations a routine part of women's healthcare.Together, they discuss Louise's diagnosis, the emotional and physical realities of treatment, and how she continued to show up for her son and her life while battling cancer. They also talk about why ovarian cancer is so difficult to detect, why some women experience little to no symptoms, and the critical importance of advocating for yourself within the healthcare system.Louise shares why she believes every woman should discuss transvaginal ultrasounds during their well-woman visits and why asking questions, seeking answers, and pushing for further evaluation can save lives.Whether you're a woman or know a woman, this episode is an important reminder to listen to your body, advocate for yourself, and never be afraid to ask for more information.This episode could save a life.
