"JoClub is an abbreviation often used to describe Journaling Club, but also could refer to my name personally." Jo Franco begins. "When I began writing, I realized of the immense emotions and also the fact that some of my parents were old and did not want to hear about my experiences. So, I began writing."

"I was a young girl who lived in the shadows and hid from the authorities while learning Portuguese and also learning English in the maze" she told me. "I have learned many languages as I was constantly amazed by being acknowledged. However, I felt disliked due to being a distinct child. My style was distinctive among the other kids. I was the youngest child and had the quietest. Voice, quiet persona.

"Of obviously, I'm unable to anticipate the future. It's probably true. At the time, I was in agony of being confused as to why I'm not understood? ', and many people have similar experiences."

It was a joy that Jo used her abilities of writing "I had a more friendly connection with myself by observing without judgement. I'd written down the bad things and I'm conscious of the good events that occurred in my life. It was possible to change my writing but my words were not. In the meantime, I began to examine how I see things because I found myself awed when reading positive stories. The key was to focus on the positive, and look for positive things for writing about. I began to be more positive. I was able to be more positive."

Knowing the context

While a student at the University of Manhattan, Jo was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of voices she was fighting against. Jo could locate the space in her diary. "It was not a matter about whether I was living in the States or going to other countries. I made use of the journal to keep back in touch with myself.

"My "why" is to give people confidence in the knowledge in the belief that "You're will be okay regardless of how unattractive it gets. Additionally you'll have the capacity to help the emotional side of you as well as recording your experiences - since the act of recording your experiences is an expression of appreciation for how it happened. To take place. the only thing that can define yourself is you and your own ideas."

"There's the scientific evidence for this conclusion," she says. "There exist clinical studies on the use of writing to aid the treatment of diseases. Patients who record their gratitude to the doctor are more satisfied."

"Give your brain an opportunity to breathe. Take the burden off your thoughts, and then write those thoughts on sheet of paper. When you write about the negative thoughts, you are giving you a space, which lets the reader look at the subject without emotion. It is possible to be caught in a trance state that is caused by emotions. They are the main cause behind every thing; they're at the heart of self-confidence, and being the foundation of charisma. They're also at the heart of walking into the space and being able to draw the attention of people who are lucky."

"Maybe there's one of the members"

Jo certainly was one of the positive events in the years 2020. Because of her YouTube channel that has more than a million subscribers, she was paid to travel. "I was living this exciting life but it was my background that I composed. This was at the heart of my identity. The only thing I wrote was."

In January of 2020 she landed her first Netflix task as a host on The World's Most Amazing Vacation Rentals. "It was a shift away from YouTube to a more traditional style of presentation. If you've ever had pleasure of working in the production set, you've seen that these times can be long. The duration is 16 hours and there's an endless cycle of "Get up and get ready'. You're ready for the morning, wearing hair-makeup and your hair is completed. There are lines written over your head, which say, "No no, it's just a prank. You must pause""

In between those pauses, generally lasting for an extended period, Jo would write. "Writing was something I loved and this is the reason I decided to turn it a career." After covid was on, and the show was set on air, she's primary source of income stopped.

"I felt anxious like everyone else. I began sharing pictures of my journal entries. The next day was 100 days and I had published my journals in Instagram Stories. I was thinking to myself "Hey there's the possibility for someone to join and may be interested in joining an online space and journaling with me in groups. That's why JoClub was founded. Just 4 years back. It's insane!"

In the Netflix show, Jo realized that journaling is a way through which she could observe the world. "It is not just an attempt to find a passion. When you're traveling for only one or two days, it's likely that you're exhausted. It's very easy to fall in love by something that's in no way related to what you're expected to be paid.

"You are aware, "This is how I see the purpose for my existence. It's a philosophy for living. It was clear that even if I set aside other commitments, one thing I can't eliminate from my daily routine is writing. I felt it was imperative that I integrate it in the following chapter of my professional journey."

Her effort is greater than she could ever imagine.

Jo was inspired to participate in her project. "I had to upload three videos each week in 3 different languages. It was my job to determine who was to be fired, after which I had to let them go. I learned to design an automated system to manage content."

However, there was a thing that needed to be modified. "I did not like the idea of the work I was doing. If you're tired, or exhausted, as is the norm among creatives, and tired, you're not going to be successful in earning money. It's been my experience that, if there's a career I'm planning to pursue for some time, I'll need think of ways to stay clear of numerous opportunities to make some money."

Jo was inspired to create something bigger than she. Journaling clubs first started by launching it on Zoom: "The membership started at $19 per month which included a monthly online phone call every month. I would also send daily journal prompts via email to every email address."

The artist had envisioned a curatorial approach that was like yoga classes. Two prompts were presented and then followed by an open discussion. Two additional prompts were offered, and breakout rooms were established. "It could be described in terms of IP (intellectual property)," she recalls. "After an interval of 6 months, I inquired if I could help train facilitators to facilitate the activities? Indeed, would these facilitators benefit JoClub by ways that I not had before? The participants would love to "extract all the goodness" and collaborate together alongside JoClub's Facilitators. They are members of JoClub for the purpose of creating an artistic journaling method which is also known as is an "bring yourself and your musical instrument" opportunity for budding musicians and many more.

"Now there are six events each month, which I'm hosting as many of them as I want," she continues. "Beautiful occasions that I can imagine happening never been initiated, such as retreats that I organize and did the study at a local school and are researching various subjects. It would have been impossible to achieve this had I were part of Jo Franco's group and was also the leader of it."

Communities and Culture

"An interesting part of memberships is that you create the environment" she says. "If you're buying a membership, they're buying your home which means that you are able to decorate your home in the way you want." Jo together with her fellow colleagues explored methods for creating conversations that engage people so to ensure that "people can have conversations in spaces that are communal and feel that they're getting what they're buying."

"It's the difference between members from an audience," she adds. "An audience can be in a position to reply to your posts but this doesn't mean that it's always one-way dialogue. If I share a photograph and someone comments, and I respond, however within the group I oversee I'm also a part of the real-time structure of the community from with the moment you sign up and become a member."

Jo is thinking deeply about onboarding and how we deal with new members. "How do we minimize the stress that can be caused by walking into a room not having any acquaintances? Now is the time to focus on the preservation of our culture and keep the participants throughout the years."

It's not as easy. "It's an area that you have to be interested in order to make sure that your membership is remains a continuous procedure. If you don't pay at all times to the exact amount and don't pay attention to it and you don't, you'll end up losing everybody of your friends."

It's clear that Jo has brought her love and self-awareness she gained from her journals into the way she runs her circle. Journaling is a way to aid us in becoming more aware of who we truly are. There is no instruction in the early years: "We're not given tools to manage our feelings. The tools can be a lifesaver for yourself when you're trying to get your feet. It was very difficult for me to comprehend the benefits. It was a fun recreation activity. As I got older, I realized "Damn! I've been hiding my secrets for a long time""

If someone asks about "Jo I'm only 30,' you're not even 30. How have you accomplished all of this? I wrote about the topic in a blog which was fine." she laughs.
