Help us change
the world.

Hobbies should make the world a better place.

The Niche to Meet You podcast is based on the argument that in order to fight isolation and loneliness, we need social interaction and connection. Our health depends on it. The Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, says so.

But, what good is personal health experienced in a vacuum?

That change toward connectivity isn’t just beneficial for our individual selves: it certainly starts there, but it should ultimately spread. Dr. Murthy even mentions community service as one of the most powerful ways to combat loneliness.

Our lives and health depend on understanding that we are not alone in this world, and we all matter. Episodes and featured stories on this show not only reflect the transformative power of shared interests–and the potential for hobbies to become catalysts for understanding, appreciation, and connection–but explore how that connectedness helps others.

Because of this, the Niche to Meet You podcast encourages connectedness one step further by partnering with a Nashville nonprofit, My Bag My Story, to provide bags for children in foster care that would otherwise carry their belongings in plastic bags.

My Bag My Story is on a mission to improve the lives of children in foster care, elevating their sense of dignity and self worth.

Most people don’t realize that children in foster care often travel with nothing more than a trash bag to hold their belongings. My Bag My Story exists to change that – one bag, and one person at a time.

Products purchased from My Bag My Story gives you a new bag (how about those beautiful royal blue bags, right?) AND a bag will be provided to a child in foster care.
