## Resource

There is a friendship gap that no one seems to talk about, but we all feel it or at least a lot of high achievers feel it. Listen as Diane Rolston reveals what that friendship gap actually is and why you might relate to it more than you think. She shares the third episode in her “Friendships” series, exploring the gap that's not about how many friends but something deeper than that. Listen to learn these key takeaways: The paradox high achievers experience: having a really full life but still feeling really disconnected Why knowing lots of people doesn't mean feeling deeply known The circles of friendship concept: proximity versus closeness, and why high achievers have wide circles but struggle to go deep Real-life examples of things we say that create the gap Why likes and comments on social media maintain connection but don't deepen friendship and what actually creates the feeling of being seen and supported The pattern Diane noticed from age 16: sharing feelings often results in the other person sharing right back, leaving no space to actually be vulnerable Why Diane pays people to support her and what this reveals about finding safe spaces to let your guard down The Hawaii story: where a friend say something new in Diane, and what that revealed What success in life looks like without satisfaction and why friendships are the area to focus on to close this gap The critical distinction: it's not about the width of friendship (having 50 people), it's about the depth of friendships Listen to the previous episodes of the Friendships series: The 50 Friends by 50 Challenge (And What It’s Teaching Me) with Diane Rolston (DW358): https://dynamic-women.captivate.fm/episode/the-50-friends-by-50-challenge-and-what-its-teaching-me-with-diane-rolston-dw358 Why High-Achieving Wome…
