Amy Giddon had two career transformations. After many years as a corporate management consulting executive, she wanted to find more meaningful work. She decided to switch tracks to mentor young women for leadership in male dominated fields by becoming a workshop leader at Columbia University. In 2016, she was struck by a public art exhibit "Subway Therapy, a communal art project in which strap-hangers wrote messages on colorful Post-it notes, offered a chance for emotional catharsis at one of the city’s main subway stations. The brainchild of artist Matthew “Levee” Chavez" This beautiful wall inspired Amy to create the Daily Haloha App. Please listen to the end of the podcast to hear Amy read the many touching reflections she received from the users of the Daily Haloha App on their experience during Covid-19 isolation. https://www.instagram.com/dailyhaloha/ https://consciouscompanymedia.com/social-entrepreneurship/the-wisdom-of-women-amy-giddon-co-founder-ceo-of-daily-haloha/

In this week’s episode, I sat down with Matt Chavez aka the Subway Therapist to discuss his immersive and interactive project that truly embodies the spirit of giving back to New York City. His project @subwaytherapy asks people to anonymously share how they feel in an effort to help them all to smile, laugh, and feel less stressed. For some it’s an opportunity to connect and have a conversation, and for others it’s a way to listen and emphasize. Subway Therapy is a true expression of how New Yorkers can connect with one another despite our differences. I promise you will take something special from this episode that will bring you solace during this holiday season. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/zoescurletis/support
Throughout her career, Amy Giddon has devoted much energy and heart to helping women achieve their ambitions. Not only is she a badass, but she is one of the smartest people I know. Amy has held multiple leadership positions, including one as the VP at American Express, but her appetite for risk-taking and desire to connect others in a big way led her to build her new company, The Daily Haloha, on her own. In this episode, Amy talks about the inspiration behind her new app, how it serves to humanize and uplift us in a time when we need it more than ever, and what it was really like to reinvent herself. What You Will Hear in This Episode: I think Amy has always been a badass, but she has felt it most recently as she reinvented herself from a corporate leader to an entrepreneur. Amy held many positions of authority where she ran departments and staff but started to consider her badassery when she stepped into a role that was in alignment with her values. When stepping into a new role it is not always a straight linear path to success. Each phase can be a new set of risks and challenges. When leaving your comfort zone and going out on your own, be ready to forego some external validation, as you work on your own internal version of success. Starting a brand new company from the ground up is not for the faint of heart, but Amy credits her ability to move forward to her passion, being okay with not having all the answers, and working with the best available resources and people. Daily Haloha began in 2016 in the wake of the Presidential Election. Amy felt the disconnection and dislocation of her community and the country as a whole. She saw a display of an art project in the subway and wanted more people to have the transformative moment that she witnessed from the post-it notes on the art piece. She knew that to scale it, an app would be best and Daily Haloha was born. Daily Haloha connects others by having them swap anonymous daily thoughts and keeping the message always light and refreshing. Users can talk about their future goals, exchange their thoughts and offer their truths to uplift others. Real badasses try to listen with an open mind, perspective and by putting their bias aside. Quotes: “It has been a long and winding road to badassery.” “For some, it’s the first time they have got a routine to stick to that feels like a pause in their day.” “The whole point is to remind us that we are part of this beautiful mosaic of people.” Mentioned: Daily Haloha @dailyhaloha Subway Therapy
