The first issue of Imbibe Magazine hit store shelves twenty years ago in 2006. It was a fascinating time to be a drinks magazine because drinks – and magazines – have changed A LOT since then. Paul Clarke, Imbibe's Editor in Chief sits down with Greg and Sother to talk about the last twenty years in the drinks publication's history: from its Y2K roots to the heady days of the cocktail revolution in the 2010s to the bad situations we've all had to make the best of in 2020 and beyond. Paul gets into what has and hasn't changed, what modern drinkers want in a cocktail program, and how it's always important to make sure you're serving your readers… and your listeners first.PLUS, Greg went to Canada and guess what's in full swing up there?

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.   Rate, Review, & Subscribe!

Understanding Teen Self Harm: Myths vs. Reality Is your teen struggling with big emotions, and you're terrified they might be turning to self-harm?   It is one of the scariest realizations a parent can face. You see the long sleeves in summer or the sudden withdrawal, and your heart sinks. You aren't alone in this fear. In this episode of the Impactful Parenting Podcast, host Kristina Campos dives deep into a heavy but necessary conversation: Understanding Teen Self-Harm.   We often go straight to the most frightening conclusions, but understanding the "why" behind these actions is the first step toward healing. Kristina debunks common myths—like the idea that self-harm is always a suicide attempt or just a "phase"—to help you see what is truly happening in your child's world. [11:14]   In this video, you will learn: The Reality of Self-Harm: Common forms like cutting, hitting, and burning, and why the average age of the first incident is often younger than you think. [08:58] Warning Signs to Watch For: Subtle behavioral shifts, like wearing long pants at the beach or a sudden refusal to go to the pool. [10:00] Debunking the Myths: Why self-harm is usually a coping mechanism for emotional pain rather than an attempt to end life. [11:37] The Power of Connection: Why the "basics" of loving your child and building a safe connection are more important than grades or after-school activities right now. [03:03] When to Seek Help: Clear indicators that the situation is escalating and how to take the next steps for professional evaluation. [18:03] As parents, we are role models for how to handle stress. Kristina shares her own vulnerability about navigating difficult times while showing up for her children, reminding us that it's okay to struggle as long as we keep the focus on connection. [05:03] Free Resource for You: Kristina has put together a free guide: 20 Ways to Cope. This PDF provides over 20 productive strategies you can offer your child to help them manage their big emotions without turning to self-harm.

Preparing for the Worst: Disaster Preparedness for Parents Would your family know exactly what to do if a disaster struck tomorrow? Most of us don't like to think about the "what-ifs," but being prepared is one of the greatest gifts you can give your children. In this episode of The Impactful Parent, host Kristina Campos tackles the vital topic of disaster preparedness, moving beyond the fear and focusing on practical, age-appropriate ways to get your entire household ready for the unexpected. It's not just about having a flashlight and extra water; it's about building a "culture of readiness" that empowers your children rather than scaring them. Kristina walks you through how to create a comprehensive family safety plan that covers everything from natural disasters to house fires. You'll learn how to involve your kids in the process, making preparedness feel like a team-building exercise rather than a scary lecture. In this video, we cover: The "Go-Bag" Essentials: What every child's emergency kit needs to include (and why comfort items are just as important as bandages!). Communication Strategies: Establishing a "meeting point" and an out-of-state contact so your family can find each other if cell service goes down. Role-Playing Safety: How to run a family emergency drill that teaches kids muscle memory without causing anxiety. Mental Resilience: Kristina shares tips on helping children manage stress and stay calm during high-pressure situations. Disaster preparedness is a core pillar of being an impactful parent. When you take the time to prepare, you aren't just securing your physical safety—you're teaching your children self-reliance, foresight, and how to remain calm in the face of adversity. Kristina Campos breaks down these complex safety protocols into manageable steps that any busy parent can follow. 0:00 Preparing for the worst 1:34 A unique approach to preparing children for disasters. 2:32 What should we be doing instead of trying to be calm? 6:19 Prepared backpacks 8:15 What are the three things a family actually needs to know to survive the first hour of a crisis? 10:25 What are the 5 things they should have on their person that could save their life? 15:49 The "Nintendo Switch" Rule 18:14 What is the one item most parents forget to stock that causes the most stress 48 hours into a lockdown? 21:45 What is the very first thing a parent should say or do to "seize control" of the room when the lights go out or the sirens start? 25:11 What are the rules around pet evacuation? 28:46 How should a evaluate a school's preparedness for disasters? 30:43 MORE FROM PATRICK 33:36 What is the most impactful thing a parent can do for a child preparing for disasters?   Rate, Review, & Subscribe!

Teenage Depression Is your teenager pulling away, struggling with depression, or feeling stuck in a cycle of anxiety? Welcome to The Impactful Parent, hosted by Kristina Campos. In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the heart of the youth mental health crisis to find real, actionable solutions for families in distress. We aren't just talking about the "why"—we are exploring the "how" of getting your child back. Kristina is joined by Dr. Will Dobud, co-author of the groundbreaking new book, Kids These Days. Together, they challenge the traditional "talk therapy" model and discuss why our modern, ultra-protective parenting style might accidentally be creating a "safety trap" that hinders teen resilience. In this video, you will discover: The Connection Gap: Why connection, not correction, is the first step toward healing [05:04]. The Safety Trap: How being the most protective generation in history has impacted our kids' ability to handle risk [05:22]. Adventure-Based Therapy: Why moving the body in nature can be more effective than sitting on a therapist's couch [23:45]. Smartphones & Social Media: A refreshing and controversial take on whether the phone is the cause or just a symptom of a deeper need for connection [37:09].   The "Problem-Free" Habit: A simple, 30-minute strategy you can start today to break the ice with a struggling teen [52:09]. Dr. Dobud shares his extensive experience in outdoor therapy, explaining how simple acts—like sitting around a campfire or even standing on one leg while brushing your teeth—can reorient a teen's brain toward mastery and hope [36:40]. If you feel helpless watching your teen spiral, this conversation is the "fire" you need to light a new path forward. It's time to move from chaos to connection and help your adolescent build the autonomy they need to thrive in a confusing world.

My request is made in the hope that a partnership with the FBI will enhance ongoing efforts and bring renewed momentum to the search for the truth about Brookelyn's disappearance.
