Executive Amy Giddon has created a simple, yet powerful wellness app by the namesake Daily Haloha. She believes that technology can be a humanizing force connecting us. The purpose is really big – the purpose is to rekindle a sense of shared humanity and empathy. The delightful app prompts simultaneous reflection and sharing. Amy values empathy and belonging and believes we all matter. This app is rare in that it doesn’t intend to suck you in for hours, but bring good feelings in just a few minutes. Get the details on how the app was created and how it can help you find more happiness in your daily life.
