In your house. And my house. The local movie house. And the house of the guy down the street because we all have table salt which is a sodium compound. We might have lye for our drains which is sodium hydroxide, detergent that contains sodium carbonate, or any of a thousand other useful sodium compounds.

Elemental sodium is never found outside chemical companies and science labs because it forms compounds readily (so readily it's dangerous to extremes; whole movies, really suspenseful and exciting ones, have been made about retrieving lost sodium metal before it blows someone up), but sodium compounds are commonly found in nature and in our homes, workplaces and places of recreation everywhere on earth.
