Tonka Talk Community and Connection

Welcome to Tonka Talk, the podcast that explores community and connection around Lake Minnetonka.

Nestled near the serene shores of Lake Minnetonka in the Twin Cities, our show is your guide to discovering the inspiring stories of individuals and groups who are crafting vibrant, meaningful community and connection in this picturesque setting.

From lakeside gatherings to community events, from stories of local heroes to heartwarming tales of collaboration, we dive into the ways people are coming together to create a strong sense of belonging.

Whether you're a longtime resident, a newcomer to the area, or simply interested in the power of community, Tonka Talk has something for you.

Do you know of someone creating community and connection in a unique or big way? Share it with us. We would love to hear from you.

Natalie Webster

Having grown up in a cult that I left as an adult with three generations of my family, I'm fascinated by the ways people create community and connection. I want to know what drives people to overcome their struggles to success, as well as how they define success.

Most of all, I love sharing these stories with others. In addition to weekly interviews with people who inspire community and connection, even after adversity, I share my own story of growing up in Scientology on Fridays, and how I found community outside of the cult.

If you want to learn more about that story head over to YouTube and subscribe to my channel "Scientology - Life After a Cult."
