We’re living in the age of connectivity, and knowledge, yet we’ve never felt more lost and disconnected.
Being a human has NEVER been harder.
Are you feeling:
- Out of touch with yourself because you put everyone else’s needs first?
- Uninspired and blah because of life’s tasks that fail to nurture your creativity?
- Isolated and disconnected despite having hundreds of apps to talk to people?
- Overwhelmed in a clutter of information that isn’t nutritious for your growth?
- Tired of being surrounded by people who don't actually care how YOU are doing?
- Deprived of community and meaningful connections with friends who uplift you?
- Like it’s time for you to prioritize your mental health & learn yourself?
- Ready to script your brightest future and be fully self-expressed?
If you relate with any of the following,
you would fit right in at JoClub…
Here’s why.
TL;DR: Too long, didn’t read.
We are in a mental health and loneliness crisis.
Stats show that humans are more isolated and in distress than ever before.
Because despite there being infinite spaces to connect, CURATION and COMMUNITY are what we’re really CRAVING.
JoClub unites the strivers, the doers, the thinkers, the movers, the shakers, and the lovers of life every week in the name of reflection and growth.
We’re your mental gym, your life cheerleaders, and your long-term accountability partners.
We remind you who you are, watch you grow into who you want to become, and see you flourish where you want to go.

- Digest your thoughts and feelings to take positive and aligned actions

- Script your dream life through the practice of journaling
You are the MVP of your life, treat your mind to clarity it deserves.
What is JoClub?
It all started in 2020 when founder and lifelong journaler Jo Franco was challenged by one of her Instagram followers to start a 30-day journaling challenge.
It seemed harmless enough. What could happen?
The next scene is Jo posting over 85 days of journal prompts and photos of her entries on a free 90-day challenge where the world journaled in unison.
Around day 70, Jo thought, “What if we gather these people in one Zoom call to journal and discuss in real-time?”
She coded a janky-looking website, and the JoClub Magic was born.
JoClub has since grown into a global journaling movement of self-awareness and growth through community and the art of journaling.
We journal as a collective on live journaling calls multiple times a week, and stay in touch in an always-on community platform for daily conversation, monthly challenges, and more.
Why Journaling?
Why does it matter?
Everyone brushes their teeth, but let’s be real, not everyone flosses.
Journaling and joining JoClub is a proactive commitment to your mental health. We call it mental and creative flossing.
Most people only journal when they’re on the brink of burnout, which is a great way to blow off steam, but the ink in your pen has much more purpose than just venting.
At JoClub, we teach members how to use journaling to take inventory and get to the root of issues, blockages, and stressors so they can take strategic actions where they actually want to go.
We work prompt by prompt to distill tangible takeaways at the end of every session. If you’re an overthinker, we’ll show you how to turn those thoughts into transformation.
We host live weekly sessions for you to pop in and continue your journaling practice in a safe space with a diverse and wholesome community.
What is live journaling?
Our live journaling sessions (unlike anything else on the internet) are like a mental yoga and meditation class mixed with a writing workshop and the best dinner party conversation you’ve ever had.
Yeah, pretty unique. But also PRETTY powerful.
You’ll find yourself having transformative and vulnerable conversations with people you’ve met literally 10 minutes before, from diverse corners of the world.
JoClub is where you feel like you’re not alone with your thoughts and feelings. A home that’s always there when you crave reconnection.
And we’re creating it together, with the members in mind at all times. By joining, you’ll help shape the future of this program that now has 350+ members and thousands of challengers.
Our sessions happen on Zoom at least 8 times per month and are 90 minutes long. Sessions are led by our superstar facilitators around the world, trained by Jo Franco, JoClub founder, who all started as members.
What are the sessions about?
Monthly themes guide our sessions for a year of 12 prompts reflecting a holistic approach to life. Scroll down for the themes.
When do sessions take place?
Sessions currently take place 8 times a month in different timezones to accommodate our members’ busy lives.
Our prime time sessions happen on Saturdays and Sundays from 12 pm – 1:30 pm EST.
We also have weekday sessions on Thursdays and Fridays at 5 pm – 6:30 EST. Session times alternate to give members more time to connect.
If you can’t make the live calls, all of our sessions are recorded and uploaded into a library of sessions. You can always rewatch sessions and journal along with the recording, prompts, presentation, and playlist.
When you join, you get access to all the recordings from the past, not just the ones that happen after you join.
What are the JoClub session types?
We build sessions around our members’ passions.
Here are some of our favorite session types.
- For the artsy type, we have Art Journaling. Like paint and sip, but with journaling (and optional sipping).
- For the music lover, we have Bring Your Own Song. A pajama party, intimate but funky, letting our hair down but still coming out with deep thoughts.
- For the fans of improv, we have Bring Your Own Prompt. Unique sessions, co-created by the contributions members bring to the table.
- For *literally* everyone, we have at least four Themed Sessions a month. We follow a calendar of monthly themes to promote a holistic journey of growth. The goal is to challenge you to reflect on every area of your life so we break out of negative or unproductive thinking patterns and start digging into real evolution.
Here’s an example of our themes throughout the year:
Jan: 2024 planning
Feb: Love
March: Personality
Apr: Financial Literacy & Investments
May: Mental Health
June: Pride and Identity
July: Zest for Life
August: Growth, Travel & Expansion
September: Connections
October: Creativity
November: Gratitude
December: 2025 planning
What is the JoClub method?
Clarity
JoClub prompts and live journaling sessions are strategically designed to take members on an introspective journey each month. In a world full of clutter, we help you quiet things down and listen to what's really going on within.
Connection
Members connect further to themselves through daily thought-provoking prompts, and they also connect to their fellow members regardless of geographical distances. We’re allergic to surface-level conversations.
Community
We’ll be your community of accountability partners who genuinely want you to win. We’re the in-betweeners, the introverts, the thinkers, the feelers, and the people who want to document this precious and beautiful time we’re here.
No journaling experience is required, just a notebook, an open mind, and a willingness to listen, share and grow.
Who is JoClub for?
The purpose-seeker who is searching for their next strategic step in life.
The healing heart who is working through trauma while building a foundation of self-love and respect.
The stuck creative who is looking for inspiration to carve their path intentionally.
The overthinker who wants to set foundational habits and learn consistency to move forward.
The introvert who wants to break out of their shell and unleash their full potential.
The people pleaser who is tired of prioritizing everyone else but themselves.
And everyone else is committed to deepening their self-awareness to take aligned actions and build their dream relationships, careers, and lives.

What is JoClub Fluent?
Have you ever felt like you were a different person speaking a different language?
Yeah, same. And if we feel like a different person, we have the power to think differently, behave differently, and take different actions that could suit us better than our emotionally driven responses in our mother tongue…
Welcome to JoClub Fluent.
Since diversity and global thinking are in JoClub’s DNA, we wanted to create a special space for our multilingual international JoClubbers who want to use languages to dig deeper into their growth and language learning journey.
When you join JoClub, you unlock two additional monthly sessions where we encourage you to journal in a different language; intermediate to advanced levels are recommended. This isn’t a language class, more like a cozy hangout with friends expressing themselves in multiple tongues.
We’ll journal about juicy themes that make the learning stick! This is the opposite of robotic and rote learning. At JoClub Fluent, you’ll have an accountability circle to keep growing your language knowledge while toggling between different thinking methods to harness your full potential.
JoClub Fluent is an “add-on” to the regular JoClub membership, which means you’ll get everything you get at JoClub PLUS an additional multilingual corner designed for language lovers.
Our mission at JoClub Fluent
Help our members grow and discover depths by journaling in different languages.
01.
Cultivate a safe space for self-discovery, vulnerability, self-awareness, and growth.
02.
Improve language skills through regular journaling about topics that resonate.
03.
Introduce our members to new learning resources and tools to learn more effectively.
04.
Create a multilingual support community so you stay committed to your learning goals.
If you love learning languages and want to use them to learn layers of yourself you would never have uncovered otherwise, JoClub Fluent was made just for you.
How can journaling in a different language change my life?
We can improve decision-making and clarity by using language skills to dissect our past and script our futures.
Diversity is in our DNA
JoClub is a collective wholesome community of your cheerleaders, accountability partners, your supporters, regardless of age, gender, color, identity, culture, or religion.
JoClub was created by Jo Franco, self-proclaimed in-betweener who has spent a decade traveling the world, learning languages, and connecting to strangers all over the globe for a decade.
By default, the people she attracts into JoClub all share this global curiosity, and thirst for knowledge.
When you join JoClub, you enter in a world of entirely unique perspectives that help you zoom out of your own biased view of the world.
Journaling with JoClub members makes you a citizen of the world because you grow empathy for diverse perspectives in a genuine way.
One prompt uncovers unlimited responses.
Plus you’ll make connections to people you probably would not have met otherwise that quickly become lifelong friends.
Members confess JoClub knows them more than their closest family and friends. We honor and protect that vulnerability because it’s our secret ingredient that creates JoClub Magic.
Here’s what our members have to say
“I once heard JoClub described as a combining the mentality and benefits of yoga, therapy, and meditation, and I am absolutely happy to report that is true. I’m amazed that each session just gets better and better - the people in JoClub are truly wonderful and it is such a validating and safe space to be able to met with similarly-minded people who are so welcoming, loving, and non-judgmental. Joining at the start of the year was definitely the best decision I could have made for myself. I didn’t realize it then, but I’m incredibly thankful for it now!”
- Victoria US
