Episode 226: If your friends do any of these things, cut them out immediately

Because here’s the reality:In this episode of Unfck Your Relationships*, we’re going deep into the truth about female friendships, support, and the energetics behind the women you keep around you.You cannot build a powerful life while surrounding yourself with women who are secretly competing with you, resenting you, or only “supportive” when you’re not doing better than them.And yet so many women tolerate friendships that drain them, make them shrink, or leave them feeling like they have to downplay their wins so someone else doesn’t get jealous.That’s not friendship. That’s scarcity disguised as connection.This episode is your reminder that you deserve women who CELEBRATE you, not tolerate you. Women who want to see you shine. Women who support your growth instead of being threatened by it.Because aligned friendships don’t cost you energy—they give you energy.Here’s what I unpack in this episode: Jealous Friends Come From ScarcityWhy some women get triggered by your success, your confidence, or your joy—and why their reaction is actually about their own lack, not your shine.The Desire to Be SupportedHow wanting support is not “needy,” and how to consciously choose women who can hold you, cheer for you, and love you without competition.Friendships That Feel Like CelebrationWhat it looks like to have women who genuinely want to see you win, and why being surrounded by expanders completely shifts your self-worth and standards.Energy Vampires & Dread FriendshipsThe red flags of friendships you’ve outgrown, especially when you find yourself dreading seeing them, managing their emotions, or leaving the interaction drained.Why Upgrading Your Friend Circle Is Inevitable When You GrowThe uncomfortable truth that not everyone gets to come with you when you rise… and how to release friendships with grace instead of guilt.At the core, this episode is about elevating your standards for the women you allow into your world.Because high-value women don’t keep people around who pull them back into smallness.They choose connection that feels grounding, reciprocal, celebratory, and safe.You deserve friendships that expand you—not friendships you need to recover from.WORK WITH MICHELLE:Join THE CONNECTED WOMAN, a course for the woman who wants to go from anxious & self-abandoning in relationships to secure, confident and unf*ckwithable: https://michellepanning.com/the-connected-womanSign up for THE EXPERIENCE, an exclusive 12-month mentorship experience where you go all in on YOU (aka, you get direct access to me as a mentor, access to every offer I run over your year, and MORE): https://michellepanning.com/the-experienceSign up for THE AWAKENING RETREATS now before they sell out.
