Parenting Tips, Resources and Strategies for Moms and Dads of Children, & Teenagers.
Welcome to the Impactful Parenting Podcast
The Impactful Parenting Podcast helps parents turn their chaos into connection with their children. Through meaningful stories, the podcast provides parenting tips for making family life easier!
Why? Because school-aged children bring different challenges to parenting that younger kids don’t! The Impactful Parenting Podcast provides help for raising your adolescent child.
So if you’re asking yourself questions like:
• "What age should a child get a phone?"
• ”Why is my teenager doing this?”
• "Does my child have ADHD or just high energy?"
• "How to talk to my teen about depression."
• ”Is anyone else experiencing this? I can’t be the only one.”
• ”What are outdoor learning activities for kids?"
Then YOU HAVE FOUND THE RIGHT PLACE!

Divorce: What parents do wrong!
Is your divorce hurting your kids more than it needs to?
Divorce is undeniably one of the hardest transitions a family can face, but the real damage often doesn't come from the split itself—it comes from the mistakes parents make during the process. In this episode of The Impactful Parent, host Kristina Campos sits down with Nicole Sodoma, a veteran divorce attorney and author of "Please Don't Say You're Sorry," to uncover the "blind spots" that even the most well-meaning parents have.
If you’ve ever felt the heavy weight of "failed family guilt" or struggled to navigate a high-conflict relationship with your ex, this conversation is for you. We dive deep into the practical tools and mindset shifts required to protect your children’s emotional well-being and ensure they thrive in their new normal.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
The Messenger Mistake: Why using your kids as conduits for information (even simple things like pickup times) is toxic for their sense of safety.
The "Disney Parent" Trap: The long-term dangers of abandoning household rules out of guilt and how dads can move from "babysitter" to empowered, equal parents.
Public Persona Pitfalls: Why your "harmless" social media posts might be used as evidence against you or—worse—be misinterpreted by your children.
Sharing the Front Lines: Strategic advice for handling graduations, school plays, and sporting events when you have to see your ex.
The Future-Proof Parenting Plan: Two critical clauses you need to include in your legal documents today that you will thank yourself for five years from now.
Nicole also shares her "impactful parent" boundary: the power of the pause. Learn why you are never required to respond to a high-conflict text or email in real-time and how taking back control of your response time can change your life.
About Our Guest: Nicole Sodoma is the founder of Sodoma Law and a sought-after source on all things divorce. Her book, Please Don't Say You're Sorry, helps readers navigate the challenges of divorce with insight, humor, and relatability.
