Creativity, community, and confidence—this episode of TLC: Tend Life Community shines a spotlight on the next generation of local changemakers.

We sit down with Hope & Owen from the Woodinville Teen Art Alliance, two passionate teens using art to build connection, give back, and make a real impact in their community. From collaborative art exhibits and partnerships with local organizations to an annual coloring book project donated to groups in need, this conversation highlights how creativity can be a powerful force for good, at any age.

Owen and Hope share what it's like creating and exhibiting art as teens, working alongside community partners, and preparing for upcoming fundraisers and opportunities to sell their own artwork. Their story is a reminder that leadership, purpose, and community involvement don't require a title, just passion and initiative.

We round out the show with our Real Estate Roundup, where the host addresses a question, many people are asking: Is hesitation in today's market costing you long-term wealth? Troy shares a real-life story of clients who built hundreds of thousands in equity in just five years, and why waiting on the sidelines may come at a bigger cost than you think.

Who decided what a "senior" is anyway; and why are we still using that definition? In this episode of TLC, Tend Life Community, we're rethinking everything we think we know about aging with the leadership team from the Northshore Senior Center.

We talk about how aging today looks very different than it did a generation ago, why the word "senior" may be overdue for a refresh, and how the Northshore Senior Center has become a vibrant hub for connection, purpose, and possibility. From innovative programming to the powerful role philanthropy plays in keeping the center accessible and impactful, this conversation highlights how community support fuels real change at every stage of life.

And because planning for the future isn't just philosophical, we wrap things up with our Real Estate Roundup, tackling two big questions many people face: when downsizing actually makes sense, and how to decide between aging in place or making a move. Thoughtful, practical, and refreshingly honest, this episode might just change how you think about growing older.

Synne Cellars is settling into a brand-new tasting room, and we're bringing the microphones straight to the source. In this episode of TLC, Tend Life Community, we sit down once again with winemaker and owner Isaac Schmid to uncork what's new, what's next, and what's uniquely Synne. When Isaac joined the show as a guest in season 2, we explored the origin story of Synne Cellars and his mission to craft small-batch wines with heart, precision, and an inclusive approach for those who typically struggle with wine sensitivities. This time, we're stepping into the next chapter, recording right inside the freshly opened, new location Synne Cellars tasting room.

Isaac shares the why behind the move, how the new space came to life, and the creative spark it ignites in both the cellar and the guest experience. From wines that reflect this new phase to evolving techniques for crafting approachable pours, we dive deep into the artistry, science, and stories swirling inside each bottle. He also walks us through what's fermenting now, the exciting releases on the horizon, and how the Woodinville wine community continues to play a meaningful role in Synne Cellars journey. All while we sip and enjoy a glass of his amazing 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon "Superiority Complex"

As always, we round out the episode with hidden gems, future plans, and the kind of real talk that makes our local winemakers who they are. And don't miss the Real Estate Roundup at the end of the show, where we highlight what's happening in the local market and what buyers and sellers should keep an eye on.
