This week on Beyond the Vines, Amy sits down with Jen Klose, Executive Director of Generation Housing, to talk about the organization's mission to ensure everyone in our community has access to a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home. Jen shares how Gen H is working to address local housing challenges, advocate for smart policy, and create opportunities through collaboration, education, and action. Whether you're a homeowner, renter, or simply someone who cares about the future of Sonoma County, this conversation is a must-listen.

Lena Furlong is back on Beyond the Vines — and this time, she’s here to invite you to something truly special. The upcoming Vida Flow event, featuring The M Factor documentary, is more than just a gathering; it’s a powerful fundraiser for the Polly Klaas Foundation and a space for people to connect, learn, and celebrate every stage of life from pre-menopause to menopause and beyond.

Hosted right here in Petaluma, the event will feature inspiring speakers, valuable resources, and a vibrant community ready to lift each other up. Through her Vida Flow brand, Lena is leading the charge in breaking the silence around menopause, offering education, visibility, and the reminder that we are all superhero rock stars.

Tune in to hear why this event matters, what you can expect when you attend, and how you can be part of a movement that’s changing the conversation — and the community — for women everywhere.

You can find Vida Flow at vidaflow.podia.com. The event is Thursday, August 21st at 5:30pm and tickets can be purchased on the Vida Flow website.

Parenting a teen can feel like navigating a whole new world—and you don’t have to do it alone. In this episode, I sit down with Hannah Takajo, Caitlin Severin, and Aliah Singh, the powerhouse trio behind CultivaTeen Roots and their new course for parents, Making AdoleSense.

Together, they share what inspired them to launch this meaningful venture, how their unique backgrounds shaped their approach, and why adolescence is such a critical time for both teens and parents. We talk about the challenges modern parents face, how to reconnect with your teen, and practical tools to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and supported.

If you’re parenting a teen (or tween!), this conversation is a must-listen.
