Penelope Johnstone
Penelope Johnstone has always had a focus on wellness. As a nutrition coach and the owner of a raw food business in Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia, Johnstone is a big fan of clean eating.
So when she began dealing with a lack of energy four years ago and a friend on social media told her about THRIVE, she was careful to do her research. “I was pleasantly surprised by the premium quality ingredients offered by the THRIVE Experience,” she says.
On the second day as a THRIVER, “I remember feeling a wave of happy energy by 2 p.m., which was generally my time I’d hit the wall,” she says.
That day, Johnstone remembers racing home and telling her son, “Quick, grab your board — you’re going surfing,” much to his happy surprise.
As her son hit the waves in their beach town, Johnstone says she got the urge to start jogging by the shore. “I had a new lease on life!” She says. “I ran, then I sprinted, down that beach like a 20-year-old. It was the best I’d felt in years.”
After a week of trying THRIVE, Johnstone became a Promoter. “As a nutrition coach, I knew this was something I had to share. Along with a healthy diet and lifestyle, THRIVE just made sense.”
Within 10 months, so many people in the community had seen Johnstone’s transformation into a healthier, more vibrant version of herself “that everyone wanted what I had,” she says. “Without really stepping out too hard, I achieved my 12K VIP rank, earning a BMW X1 through Le-Vel’s Auto Bonus program,” she says. It wasn’t until she saw friends and family getting the same “glow and vitality” after trying THRIVE that Johnstone decided to “get serious” about sharing the product with more people.
“Older people were coming back to me saying their general aches and discomforts were eased and that they had a spring in their step,” she says. “I realized that this is what being a Promoter is all about — helping others.”
From there, Johnstone got creative in introducing new people to THRIVE. When Duo Burn was released, she decided to run a support group with another Promoter, and the two offered up healthy recipes and shared exercise videos while talking about THRIVE.
“Working together within such a group really makes things more fun, and they invite their friends,” she says. Johnstone also loves using her skills to help customers make healthy food choices and create weekly menus.
As she continues to meet new potential THRIVERS and help them find the kind of energy she found with THRIVE, Johnstone has her eye on hitting the 200K VIP rank and earning her next Lifestyle Getaway.
But while hitting such milestones is great motivation, she says the best motivation is “watching people smile again.”
