The greatest adventure is a life lived in pursuit of truth
The UpWord Path Team
Hello! My name is Phillip Mainprize, I designed the UpWord Path Journal as a tool to help combat the darkness in my own mind and to align myself through action toward a life lived in gratitude, truth and meaning. I have the great joy of traveling the winding paths of this adventure with my wife Kristin and our two kids, Indiana and Wilder.
Experiencing the benefits of the UpWord Path Journal, I shared it with friends, my therapist, and coworkers, their collective encouragement emboldened me to make it available to others, forge a community, and create a podcast to act as a further guide for those looking to change their life.
See you on the UpWord Path!

Our Vision and Mission
VISION
To ignite a movement of self-discovery & transformation through intentional journaling, storytelling, and the pursuit of Truth—empowering individuals to align their lives with meaning, purpose, and love.
MISSION
Through The UpWord Path, we walk with individuals to engage deeply with their thoughts, values, and stories—leveraging the power of journaling, reflection, and conversation. By weaving together positive psychology, cognitive science, wisdom, and an embodied belief, we help people bridge the gap between who they are and who they are meant to become.
Key Highlights of Our Approach
- Unlike blank journals, The UpWord Path provides a structured approach using Future Authoring principles and WOOP (Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan) methodology to help users define, track, and achieve their goals.
- The Logos-Centered Approach – Rooted in the power of words, truth, and meaning, this journal is more than a self-help tool—it’s a path to deeper wisdom and well being. It bridges positive psychology, cognitive science, and faith to align users with who they are meant to become.
- Daily Cognitive Rewiring – Integrating neuroscience-backed practices, this journal encourages users to cultivate gratitude, focus, and intentional thinking—rewiring their mindset for lasting transformation instead of temporary motivation.
- From Reflection to Action – Many self-improvement tools stop at insight—The UpWord Path ensures you act on your insights with built-in habit-building frameworks, goal-setting pages, and accountability check-ins to create tangible change.
Build and strengthen your community.
