"JoClub refers to the Journaling Club, but also matches perfectly with My name." Jo Franco begins. "When I began to write I realized that I was overcome with emotion as well as the realization that my children who were in my past didn't desire to learn about my incident. Therefore, I began writing."

"I lived in a state of denial, living as a fugitive in the shadows, and I spoke Portuguese as well as attending classes in English in an effort to make it out of it" she recalled. "I have learned many different languages to be accepted. At the same time I was somewhat marginalized because I was one of the few kids. I was different from the other kids who was around me. I was the smallest kid with a soft voice and muted personality.

"Of course I'm not able to recall now that this was what transpired, but during the time, I was confusion about the reason I felt that I'm misunderstood? How do we can help."

Happily, Jo could use her writing skills: "I had a more than a sympathetic relation with myself, simply watching without making judgments. I wrote about all these negative things, yet I was aware of positive aspects that took place throughout my entire existence. I was able to modify my style of writing, however in a more interesting way, I changed my perception of things because I wanted to see positive aspects. It was necessary to see positive things to generate positive thoughts that I could write about. I became a more positive person. It helped me become more positive."

Making sense of the situation

As a student at the University of Manhattan, Jo was amazed by the sheer number of voices she needed to compete with. It was also possible for her to create a space for herself within her diary. "It was not a question of whether I was in Europe or the States or Europe or in another nation, I was always in a position to use this device which helped me get back to home.

"My "why" is that I want to motivate others by giving them the same belief that "You got you regardless of how difficult the situation may be. Not only are you able to be a strong person by your own means and become a gorgeous person, but it's also very pleasant to capture your experience through recording it. It is an act of gratitude to the fact that it began to happen. Your identity lies inside you and within your mind."

"There's the scientific evidence to support this up," she continues. "There were studies conducted on writing for medical treatment. When you record your appreciation on a piece of paper, you'll feel more satisfied."

"Give your brain the peace. Take the weight off your body. Write it on sheet of paper. When you write about unpleasant issues, you give yourself the space to examine it with the most calm, and without emotional reactions. Our emotions can be a source of stress. They are the foundation of all and are the key to confidence in oneself, the foundation of character, and in the beginning of having an environment and being in a position to tap into positive energy."

"Maybe it's a member"

Jo certainly did a number of great moments from the year 2025. Thanks to her YouTube channel which was watched by millions, she earned money to travel. "I had a private life. But, behind the scenes I wrote. In my very nature, I knew that I wanted to write. The thing that really drew me to it to write."

In the beginning of January, 2020, she received her first Netflix task as host of The World's Most Amazing Vacation Rentals. "It was a step towards getting off YouTube as well as further into broadcasting. If you've ever worked on a set, they realize that the hours are very lengthy. It's 16 hours of work and a lot of rush-up and down. You're ready to have your hairstyle, make-up and your makeup done. Your lines are on your mind and they're like, "No no, it's an absurd joke. We have to pause'!"

When there were breaks that would go on for a many hours, Jo would write. "Writing was a love for me, which is why I decided to turn into a profitable business." After the debut of Covid and the show ceased the main source of income dwindled.

"I felt anxious like everyone was. I was compelled to upload photos from my journal entries. A hundred days later and I had started sharing my diary to the world via Instagram Stories. I thought that to me "Hey I'm thinking this might provide a way to be a member of a group who might be interested in purchasing space online and write for an online community. This is how JoClub was born. It was almost four years ago. It's crazy!"

When she was watching the Netflix show, Jo realized that journaling was the lens by which she was able see the world. "It was more than just an activity that was a part of leisure time. If you're on the road for two days, you're tired. It's easy to become caught by something that has nothing whatsoever to do with work.

"You recognize, "This is the way I view the universe. This is how I am contemplating the universe. It's a way of living.' It became clear to me that I needed to release all the other stuff and realize that the most important thing which I'm unable to give up is writing. This was essential that I take this writing forward into the next phase in my journey."

Her accomplishments are greater than she could have ever imagined.

Jo was inspired to become involved with her work. "I had to upload 3 videos per week in three languages. I had to hire people, then replace them. I learned how to create an automated content system."

However, something had to be altered. "I wanted to not work. If you're exhausted or tired that's commonplace among creators, it's likely that you'll make some money. When I realized that this could become my career path will continue for a long time I'll need to think of methods to protect my name off the list of options for earning money."

Jo decided to establish something larger than herself. Journaling groups were launched in the early days of Zoom: "The membership started at $29 a month and comes and included a live monthly phone call. I'd also be able send out daily journal entries to everybody's mailboxes."

She imagined a curatorial journey as a yoga session. Two directions, then the discussion. The second one followed then break-out rooms. "It included IP (intellectual property)," she recalls. "After about six months, I asked whether I could teach facilitators how to conduct these activities? Indeed, will these facilitators enrich JoClub with ways I've ever had the privilege of? The participant would prefer to "extract all the positives" as well as work with facilitators who are themselves former JoClub members, to develop an artistic journaling style, and an idea of "bring your own music" workshop for singers who wish to become professional musicians, and other such.

"Now we have six plus sessions each month, and I can host as many sessions as I like," she continues. "Beautiful events that I could had never imagined happening: I host retreats and I also ran the pilot program at a university and we are trying to solve different challenges. I wouldn't be able to achieve this feat were I to remain within Jo Franco's circle which I was in the top of."

Cohesion in the social and cultural sphere

"An important aspect to joining an organization is that you build a community," she states. "If you join a club for the cost of membership, people are going to your home which implies that you are able to decorate your home to suit your tastes." Jo along with her colleagues are looking into ways to build more engaging threads so "people can talk in public spaces, so they're assured that they're getting what they're paying for."

"It's what differentiates "audience" as opposed to "membership," she adds. "An audience may be responsive to any content that you're creating however there isn't always a dialog. When I post an image and someone comments about it, I'll react to their comments, but with a group which I'm curating, I'm right in the middle of things that take place as soon as you join your group."

Jo is contemplating a lot on how to take on new members, as well as how to deal with newly joined members. "How can we deal with the person who is new in the room and feels that they've never had a conversation with anyone? This is the perfect time to get into the practice of curating cultural, and the reason why people stick around for an extended period of time."

It's not easy. "It's an art that you must be committed to in order to improve continuously since members' membership is something that is constantly evolving. If you do not pay close attention to the changes happening, you'll be losing all those members."

It's clear that Jo is incorporating the empathy and self-awareness that journaling can bring into her way of running the club. Actually, she believes that journaling brings the self-awareness that's not taught in schools "We're not taught the tools required to deal with emotions. You have tools to save yourself from losing your balance. It was hard for me understand these advantages. It was a relaxing hobby. As I grew older I began to realize, "'Oh that's been my most private activity""

It is common to hear her say "Jo, you're only 30 years old. What did you do to get through all this time? It was written down and then everything was sorted out." She smiles.
