In this episode, August sits down with Natalie Hampton, a 19 year old freshman at Stanford, a youth delegate to the United Nations and one of People Magazine's 25 Women Changing The World, among many other accolades. This amazing young woman had a horrible bullying experience when she was in middle school. When it was over and she had moved to a more inclusive school, she decided she needed to do something about bullying--not just for her, but for every kid who is excluded, shamed and even physically assaulted. Natalie struck back by creating Sit With Us, an app that allows people who don't have a place to sit during school lunch, to sit with people who are happy to have them. August talks to Natalie about the inspiring story behind sit with us and her plans for its future. You'll also hear about the new Tech Wellness Collection at sevenly.org, benefitting Sit With Us. It's a show you don't want to miss.

After we finished recording EPISODE 14 with Superhero of Love Natalie Hampton who rose from the ashes of enduring two years of being bullied at her prestigious private school, it was clear we needed to hear how her parents navigated these stormy heart waters as well. No parent wants to see their child suffer. No parent thinks they can support their child in just the right way when their emotional and physical health are at stake. Listen to Scott and Carolyn share how they got through this and helped Natalie stand strong on her own two feet, while doing their best to support her through these treacherous times. They also ended up deepening their family bonds as a result. Natalie Hampton also pops in for a brief story in this episode as well, giving even more reason to love and respect her. Please pass on this episode to any parent you might know as there may be something they will be able to use one day when they end up trying to help their child through rough emotional times.
Natalie Hampton was bullied for two years at a prestigious private school. She and her parents tried everything to have her remain in the school and stay safe, but the road was difficult, and Natalie has the scars to prove it. Yet, she rose up from years of abuse to take a stand for the kids who can't fight back, and to provide a real life solution with her Sit With Us App, which gives others like her a chance to stand up against bullies and reach out to those who are being bullied. At 17, Natalie has already received a plethora of award. You will find her gracing the same page as Jane Goodall when she was acknowledged by People magazine in the issue celebrating "25 Women Changing the World." and was 2017 Radio Disney Heroes for Change honoree. If you have been bullied, or know someone who has, you will want to listen in to her heart of gold wisdom.
