The concept of New Happy focuses on helping others to achieve personal happiness

 Michelle discusses how happiness is evolving from a self-centered pursuit to one rooted in community and support. By helping others, we not only improve their lives but also enhance our own sense of fulfillment.

Online portrayals of success may not always reflect reality 

Michelle highlights how many public figures may not disclose the full extent of the help and resources they have. This can create unrealistic benchmarks for others. Recognizing this can alleviate the pressure to measure up to these often unattainable standards.

Authenticity and self-awareness are crucial in personal and professional growth

Emphasizing the importance of being genuine, Michelle encourages listeners to trust their instincts and be true to themselves. Doing so, they can better navigate their journey without being swayed by external perceptions or pressures.
