Welcome to the Black Girl Burnout podcast.

0:11.9

Kelly here, and we are continuing our week-long conversation with Joe Franco.

0:16.2

We learned in the last episode all about how she became a polyglot, which is someone who speaks multiple languages, and how a young girl from Connecticut, who's an immigrant from Brazil, becomes someone who's on a Netflix show, becomes a YouTube content creator, and now has a journaling company.

0:37.3

It's a journey. It was inspiring to hear it. And it brought us to a

0:41.8

conversation about how Joe is able to transform her life, which is through the power of journaling.

0:47.6

This is where we pick up the conversation today. And we talk all about the transformative

0:52.3

and joyful process that she uses to set goals,

1:01.5

Let's dive right back into the conversation.

1:08.3

1:43.8

journaling company? I don't know. And when I saw you on Netflix, I wasn't thinking she's going to have a journaling company. I mean, I just didn't see that. I think it's amazing. So I want to know, step one, what is it about journaling? When did you start journaling? and what do you love about it? Let's just start there, and then we'll build it from there. There's so much that I have to say about this topic.

1:46.4

If he doesn't... journaling. When did you start journaling? And what do you love about it? Let's just start there. And then we'll build from there. There's so much that I have to say about this topic.
