About The Thrive Shift on Substack
Hello and nice to meet you!
Hello and welcome to The Thrive Shift substack!
Let me introduce myself:
My name is Linea Johnson. I am an author, speaker, consultant, and the founder and CEO of The Thrive Shift. I am also co-author of Perfect Chaos: A daughter’s journey to survive bipolar, a mother’s struggle to save her.
I help companies start essential conversations about mental health in the workplace. Whether through personal interaction or a change in policies or systems, I teach leaders how to implement change through compassion, curiosity, and courage.
I provide keynote speeches, training, one-on-one consulting, and mental health awareness campaign development to ensure we create system-wide change rather than a one-off moment.
Outside of work, my life revolves around books, music, my dog, and my health. As someone who lives with bipolar, is in recovery from anorexia, and has all the fun that accompanies a chronic illness, I spend a lot of time assessing what really matters in life and how I can be kinder, gentler, and more supportive of myself, my family and friends, and my community.
The Thrive Shift has three main sections:
Lead with Heart:
Here, you’ll find recommendations, research, best practices, and resources to help you better support the mental health of your team and yourself. I provide resources, tips, and interviews with leaders who are paving the way and share my latest insights working in the field.
Living Well:
In this section, you’ll find posts about my journey as a working professional living with a mental illness. Here, I will touch on disability, self-care, and my life as an entrepreneur, writer, speaker, and advocate. I will share my journey as a small business owner trying to forge my way toward a healthy work-life balance while building something new.
On the Mind:
This section will cover top posts and conversations and include some of my current obsessions and interests. For example, you may get a list of the best research on leadership in one week and a list of pool-side thrillers in the next.
