About this listen

This fresh, inspiring call to community and connection from an entrepreneur and leader is perfect for anyone feeling alone and ready to set off on a journey to true belonging.

Many of us feel more alone than ever despite living in the most connected society in human history. We need to belong in the same way that we need oxygen - our physical bodies require it. We perform better and have greater successes as individuals when we are connected to the collective.

Join author Natalie Franke as she shares her story of longing for connection in the chaos and lessons learned on her journey to true belonging. Together we’ll uncover how to:

  • Kick scroll-induced jealousy to the curb and transform the way that social media makes you feel about yourself and others
  • Overcome loneliness by finding your people and cultivating true community in your personal and professional world
  • Strike the balance between camaraderie and competition so that you can live a deeply fulfilled and joyful life

Human beings are not highlight reels - we’re done fanning the flames of comparison, drowning in our insecurities, and being pitted against one another. We’re saying no to the endless rat race of getting ahead and good-bye to the narratives that leave us feeling left out and alone.

We are destined for something better. We’re made for so much more. Because knit into the fabric of our DNA, we were built to belong.

Critic reviews

"Natalie challenges us to change our perspectives on business and relationships. If you have a narrative in your head that the other person is your competition and not your friend, that soundtrack is going to encourage you to miss so many new opportunities. Natalie confronts the scarcity and competition mentality head on in a way that proves there’s plenty to go around." (Jon Acuff, New York Times best-selling author of Soundtracks)

"A call to arms - heart is always more valuable than hustle, and community is always more important than competition. Natalie inspires us to lean into vulnerability and paints a vision for how you can link arms in business and friendship." (Emily Ley, best-selling author of Growing Boldly)

"A counter-cultural must-read! Business is all about relationships and yet, we are often in crazy, cutthroat competition with one another. Natalie reminds us that it doesn’t have to be that way! We can be successful women with drive and ambition and still make people our priority." (Lindsay Teague Moreno, best-selling author of Boss Up!)

I didn’t know what to expect. I thought it would be just another sociology book on the dangers of being alone. It has some of that - but so much more. Natalie brings herself in such bravery that inspires and, in my opinion, really creates a world for the reader.

It’s a bit of journey. Loved it.

Surprising how amazing it is

If only we all approached life with this application of support and acceptance. We let our fears of loss and insecurities rule our well being till there is none, robbing us of our joy. Let it go and prosper.
I will be reading this over and over. Thanks Nat for writing and practicing your mission.
