How does Michelle Palmer's approach to creating a life of happiness outperform traditional methods?

I’m very purpose-driven. That email from my trauma and addiction professor confirmed that I’ve found my passion and purpose, and I center happiness around living that purpose, not just chasing comfort or success.

I focus on identity shifts, not quick fixes. “The new Michelle Palmer” and “This is my new life motto” aren’t about a temporary mood boost; they’re about becoming a new version of myself who chooses healing, growth, and joy daily.

I anchor happiness in healing and meaning, especially around trauma, not in pretending everything is fine. Real happiness, for me, includes doing the inner work.
