Ep112: High-Achieving and Lonely - Why High Standards Hurt Intimacy

In this episode of Daring DVM, host Dr. Amy Grimm is digging into perfectionist relationships. If you’ve ever felt frustrated that your partner doesn’t meet your standards, struggled to delegate because "no one does it quite right," or found yourself pulling away instead of asking for help, this one’s for you. You’ll learn: How perfectionism isn’t just about achievement or performance, it’s often a protective strategy that creates distance in our closest connections. Why high-achieving women, in particular, struggle with vulnerability How the drive to be self-sufficient and responsible for everything can backfire when it comes to intimacy, communication, and trust. Plus, I’m sharing a sneak peek into my upcoming group coaching program designed to help high-achieving women release the grip of perfectionism, build more authentic relationships, and find real support in a community of women who get it. This is for those ready to experience more connection, presence, and peace. AKA – No more burnout!   ✨ Ready to create your burnout-free life?
