91 | Why Successful Women Struggle with Friendship: Perfectionism, Control, and Fear of Failure with Dr. Anokhi Kapasi


Listen Later

Do successful women have a harder time building and maintaining meaningful friendships?

In this episode of The Friendship Tour, Cecelia sits down with Dr. Anokhi Kapasi, host of the Achieve Your Ambitious Mom Life podcast (formerly Solve for Mom), to talk about the unique friendship challenges that come with success, ambition, and modern womanhood.

Together, Cecelia and Dr. Kapasi unpack how perfectionism, control, and fear of failure can quietly show up in friendships — and why learning to release those patterns leads to more grace, honesty, and joy in our relationships. They also discuss the reality of mom friendships — what makes them meaningful, and how to navigate them with compassion and realistic expectations.

You’ll hear insights on:

✨ Why successful women sometimes struggle with vulnerability and connection
✨ How perfectionism and control impact friendship dynamics
✨ Releasing fear of failure and embracing imperfection in relationships
✨ Showing yourself and your friends more grace in every season

Dr. Kapasi reminds us that success and sisterhood can beautifully coexist — if we’re willing to let go of perfection and lead with authenticity.
