Bullied. Isolated. Alone at lunch. Natalie Hampton transformed one of the darkest chapters of her life into the award-winning Sit With Us app, inspiring a global movement of kindness and inclusion.

Classic Episode #236 * Originally Aired in September 12, 2019

Long before kindness became a trending conversation, Natalie Hampton was living its opposite.

After enduring years of severe bullying in middle school—including physical attacks, public humiliation, and eating lunch alone—Natalie refused to let her experience define her. Instead, she founded Sit With Us, a free mobile app designed to help students find a welcoming lunch table and create more inclusive school communities.

In this inspiring Classic Episode of The Jeremiah Show, Natalie shares how one simple invitation—"Come sit with us"—grew into an international movement that has impacted students around the world.

Joined by her mother, Carolyn Hampton, the conversation explores bullying, resilience, youth activism, mental health, and the extraordinary impact a single act of kindness can have on someone's life.

Sometimes changing the world begins with saving one seat at the lunch table.
