What are the signature techniques Michelle Palmer uses to connect with her audience?

Hi there! I’m Michelle Palmer. I love this question.

From what I create on TikTok and in my Recovery Out Loud newsletter, a few core techniques show up over and over:

• Radical honesty about recovery – I talk openly about the messy, imperfect parts so people feel less alone.
• Short, direct video messages – looking into the camera, speaking like I’m talking to one friend, not “an audience.”
• Story over preaching – I share my own experiences instead of telling people what they “should” do.
• Consistent invites to go deeper – I often point people toward my newsletter so they can get longer, more supportive content.

Is there a specific platform (TikTok, newsletter, etc.) you’d like me to break down in more detail?
