Talkspace
Modern therapy has arrived! Talking to a shrink seems like a good idea for anyone. But money and time are significant factors. With Talkspace it’s simple to experience quality care. This app pairs you with a licensed therapist who you can direct message (txt, video etc.) anytime you want. Overall, this method is 80% cheaper than face-to-face therapy. As strange as it may sound, this could be the perfect solution for your busy life!

Golden
Volunteering is a great idea, but it takes organization. Not anymore! The Golden app makes it incredibly easy to get involved. While “Netflix and chilling” may be nice, true happiness comes from meeting new people and helping others. Try it, we swear! Hit up this user-friendly app and within hours find yourself tutoring children and serving food to the homeless. Golden even plans around your schedule!

Detour
Practice wellness through walking. Sounds too simple, but getting out and seeing new things is extremely beneficial for your mind and body. Detour is the world’s first app that allows users a multitude of guided walking tours. Just plug in, sync with friends, and explore. Matched with GPS, the selected speaker goes at your pace. This is a seriously cool date idea, a cheap family activity, or great for a solo-adventure.
