About Us

Mission

Empowering You

We help you break free from unconscious technology use.

Vision

Our vision is to redefine how people interact with technology, making it a source of empowerment that encourages intentional living.

Built On Research

Nudge Theory, Richard Thaler, Nobel Prize Winner

  • Nudge theory uses subtle cues to guide healthy decisions.

  • Nudges help travelers follow through 10x more than clients who don’t receive nudges.

  • It helps people do what they already want to do and gently shifts behavior without forcing change.
  • Small reminders in context unlock big self-led progress.

The Nudge Experience

A Week with Journey

  • Monday Nudge: “Start with clarity. What’s your intention this week? 📝 “
  • Wednesday Boost: “Your water bottle misses you. Reunion scheduled for… now? đź’§”
  • After Extended Focus: After 3 straight classes: go tech-free for 10 minutes. Let your brain breathe. No scroll, just exist. 
  • Friday Reflection: “❤️ What is one sweet thing you’re grateful for today?”

Every journey is personalized to an individual’s schedule, self-selected goals, personality, and nudge preferences.  

Values

Technology Should Work For You

Tech addiction is real. And weirdly engineered. So we’ve flipped the script. Journey nudges are built to hand you the steering wheel back to your time and attention. 

Depth Over Hype.

We’re not trying to be the next TikTok. We don’t care how “sticky” we are or how we can manipulate with cheap dopamine. We care if your life feels more spacious, aligned, and quietly powerful because of something we helped you shift.

Augmenting Human Support

We love technology. We also love humans. Especially the ones who’ve spent decades learning how to hold space and honor one’s process. We’re not a replacement for human support, we simply make it easy to get to the support you need when you need it. Every journey is built on that marriage—human wisdom, machine precision, supporting you in the moments in between.

Privacy First

We don’t sell your data. We don’t optimize for clicks. If an investor ever asks us to compromise on this, we’ll politely say: “That’s not our journey.”

Beliefs

We believe small, consistent actions lead to big changes

and our goal is to empower you to make those changes seemlessly.

Cut Through Noise

In today’s world, we’re bombarded with noise, information overload, and constant distraction. Journey helps you breaks through that noise to help healthy habits stick, making it easier for you to stay focused on your goals.

University Case Study

Our study, conducted at UNLV, demonstrated a statistical enhancement of daily encouragement and well-being. The study showed that users who engage regularly with Journey nudges report a 68% increase in progress toward their goals and 100% reported an increase in consciousness toward desired behaviors compared to those who didn’t receive nudges.

 

This study underscores the effectiveness of personalized, encouraging nudge interventions in the flow of our day fosters not only goal success but overall life enjoyment.

Our approach is rooted in the belief that minor adjustments, consistently applied, compound into life changing outcomes.
