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

Hi there!

From what I share on my Instagram, my approach to creating a life of happiness is different from “traditional” self-help in a few key ways:

• 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.

What part of happiness are you most interested in—purpose, healing, mindset, or something else?
