What distinguishes Michelle Palmer's 'I'm real different' approach in the recovery community?

Hi, I’m from . How can I help?

What really sets my “I’m real different” approach apart in the recovery community is:

• I speak as a survivor first, not a celebrity or expert. I’ve lived what I’m talking about, and I say plainly that recovery works if you work it.
• I stand up for people in recovery when others “talk mess,” refusing to shame them for slipping, struggling, or starting over.
• I focus on community healing, not just individual sobriety – bringing recovery into neighborhoods, conversations, and social media so people feel seen, not judged.

Is there a specific area of my recovery work you’d like me to go deeper on, like mindset, community building, or handling stigma?
