Unf*ck Your Relationships

Welcome to Unf*ck Your Relationships Podcast! I'm your host Michelle Panning - intimacy alchemist AKA your love, sex, and relationship bestie, trigger queen, and founder of my signature program The Connected Woman. I get it, you're done being left on read, getting ghosted and being caught up in a cycle of attracting emotionally unavailable men. Let's be real - you have NEEDS. You deserve it all, you deserve to feel worthy and confident. You deserve a fulfilling love life. For years I was going through the same experiences with men over and over again that left me feeling confused, anxious, and pissed off. I silenced myself in dating and relationships because I was terrified of being judged, rejected, and abandoned. I just wanted a meaningful relationship and thought I was doing all the right things. But none of it was working. I knew I couldn't continue to repeat the same cycle with different men. Something had to change. I decided in that moment that I was going to finally work on healing my own wounds and work on myself, so that I could experience a beautiful and fulfilling relationship. I decided to put myself first. And now, with this podcast, I want to share with you the exact internal work strategies that I did to get to a place of confidence, peace, and worthiness. You can kiss ALL of your worries and limiting beliefs around love goodbye. Are you ready? Grab your favorite glass of wine and let's get to work, because it is time to reclaim your self worth babe.

In this episode of Unfck Your Relationships*, we're stepping into the most misunderstood and most misused part of feminine energy: the dark feminine. Not the TikTok version. Not the "manipulate him back" bullshit. The real dark feminine. The part of you that is bold, grounded, self-protective, deeply self-respecting, and absolutely unwilling to keep abandoning herself for crumbs.

 

Most women are living 90% in their light feminine…...

EP 227: How to Level Up So Fast It Feels Illegal

In this episode of Unfck Your Relationships, we're diving into the identity level shifts required to level up so quickly it almost feels wrong. The truth? You're not stuck because of timing, luck, or the men you date. You're stuck because your nervous system is still wired for chaos, crumbs, and chasing and you keep choosing what's familiar over what's actually good for you.

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.

Because here's the reality:

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...

Okay, babe… let's talk about people pleasing, because this episode is me calling myself (and you) all the way out.

For years, I thought being the "chill, supportive, easygoing" partner made me good. But in reality? I was just betraying myself over and over. I wasn't setting boundaries, I was building walls and then wondering why everything exploded when I finally snapped.

I share the story of how I went from spending every damn Sat...

In this episode of Unf*ck Your Relationships, I'm calling BS on the fluffy, feel-good version of "self-love." Because let's be real… bubble baths and affirmations don't fix years of self-abandonment.

I get raw about my own story of being the "ultimate caretaker", the one holding everything together, doing the emotional labor, and calling it love. Spoiler alert: it wasn't love, it was survival. And it left me exhausted, resentful, a...

In this episode of Unfck Your Relationships, I dive into the fearful avoidant attachment style sometimes called anxious avoidant and the blind spots that come with it. This was once my dominant attachment style, and even now I can see how it still pops up in relationships.

Unlike anxious or dismissive avoidants, the fearful avoidant flips between hyper-activation (all emotion, seeking closeness, reassurance, and validation) and dea...

In this episode of Unfck Your Relationships, I'm breaking down the blind spots of the dismissive avoidant attachment style. If you've ever felt confused about why you (or your partner) shut down, withdraw, or over-rely on logic in relationships, this episode will give you clarity and a new way forward.

Here's what I dive into:

  • Logic vs. Love – Why relying on logic and analysis won't create real intimacy.
  • Where It Starts – How ...

In this episode of Unf*ck Your Relationship, I dig into the blind spots of anxious attachment, the hidden patterns that keep you stuck in the same cycles, even when you think you've "done the work."

I explain why reflection alone isn't enough, because you can only reflect on what you're consciously aware of.

Blind spots live in the shadows the parts of yourself you deny, repress, or don't even know exist. And until you shine light ...

In this episode of Unf*ck Your Relationship, I dive into one of the most common yet challenging dynamics I see: the anxious–avoidant relationship. Instead of just giving surface-level advice like "communicate better" or "give each other more space," I explore how shadow work is the real key to creating lasting change.

I share some of my own experiences with anxiety, avoidance, and love and why I realised that traditional approaches...

Today's conversation is all about the OWN IT part of CLOCK IT, OWN IT, CLEAN IT UP…and who better to share than the accountability queen herself, my amazing client Heather!

Not to break your entire self-image or whatever, but abandoning all your needs and desires for the sake of your partner actually doesn't make you a good person.

Sorry not sorry.

Sure, maybe it feels good to oh-so-f*cking-selflessly lay your needs down to fulfill your partner's instead. To be the "good girl." The "cool girl." To play the hero in his story.

Right up until resentment...

If you identify as a strong, independent woman who is 100% fine being alone, this one is for you…

Because I'm calling bullshit.

Being single is not the same thing as being alone. And sure, maybe you're fine being single…but what do you fill that gap with?

TV? Social media scrolling? Going out with friends? Swiping on the apps until your weekend is booked up?

Let's be honest: most people will sit down, listen to a podcast, give their best "OMG! So true, bestie!" and then promptly move the fuck on with their lives.

My guest today is NOT one of those people.

What are your non-negotiables for a relationship?

How many can you list? Ten? Five? Three? Can you name even ONE must-have for the relationship you long for, or is it just…anything goes?

It is 2025, bitch. We are not fucking around with ANYTHING GOES around here.

You NEED non-negotiables. You NEED things that are an immediate HELL NO and things that are an immediate FUCK YES.

There is so much fluff out there when it comes to what it takes to become a secure woman that it can get you SO fucking mixed up. Luckily, I'm not here to bullshit you.

Becoming secure takes fucking WORK. It's hard. It's scary. It's vulnerable.

And it's all so fucking worth it.

There are four shifts I made in order to become secure–and I'm sharing them with you today. They're not ...

If you think the feminine is all frilly dresses, keeping house, and speaking softly…

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
