Becoming more human;
one story at a time.
We connect people to stories, ways to serve, and resources for when life gets hard.
the Wayfind Collective
Podcast
The Wayfind Collective Podcast, You Don’t Know is about stories that change us. We share the voices of people on the margins – neighbors who are too often overlooked, misunderstood, or pushed aside by systems and society.
But we don’t just tell their stories … we tell our own, too. How we got here. How we learned (and are still learning) to care, to listen, and to let go of old assumptions.
Through honest, personal conversations, we invite listeners into a journey of empathy and action – one story at a time. Because when we start listening to those pushed to the edges, we discover what it really means to love our neighbors.

Wayfind Collective is a grassroots nonprofit on a mission to figure out what it really means to love our neighbors well.
We believe every person has the capacity (and the calling) to grow in empathy and compassion – and that starts with listening, learning, and getting involved in the causes that tug on your heart.
Based in North Georgia but inspired by communities everywhere, we’re building spaces where people can connect, engage, and practice being good neighbors. Our online hub makes it easy to find local volunteer opportunities, organizations to support, and ways to get plugged in.
And through our podcast, You Don’t Know, we amplify the voices of neighbors often pushed to the margins, alongside the people who walk with them. These stories invite us all to unlearn harmful narratives and imagine new ways of loving well.
As James Baldwin reminds us, “The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that LOVE … is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other’s light.” That’s the journey we’re on – won’t you join us?
