Some of it is our fault, and some of it is how society sees high achievers. If this is something you can relate to, or you're just curious, listen as Diane Rolston, our host, reveals why high-achieving women struggle to maintain friendships. She shares the second episode in her friendships series, breaking down the reasons we lose friends (or never make them in the first place) and why society screws us over in this area.
