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.
What else can I help you with?

What two chemicals are found in natron?

Where is sodium found and how is it obtained?
Pure sodium is so reactive with water that it doesn't exist on earth as a free element. When sodium is made to be free of impurities, it is stored in kerosene to keep it from reacting with the water vapor in the air. It is found instead in compounds (salt) with different metals in rock layers. Sodium, the metal, may be purchased through a chemistry supply shop. Keep in mind that in this post 9/11 world, you may be required to have a special permit to purchase it, or be able to demonstrate an educational need for it.
