Friendship is truly powerful! A landmark study published in Breast Cancer uncovered a shocking reality: socially isolated women faced a staggering 64% increased likelihood of dying from cancer and a 43% higher chance of experiencing a cancer recurrence. These figures are a compelling reminder to invest time in nurturing our relationships.


Further supporting this, a study by Harvard Health confirmed that friendships among women are crucial for overall well-being. The research showed that strong social connections can lead to longer lifespans and lower instances of depression and anxiety. Remarkably, people with close friends have a 50% higher chance of increasing their overall happiness and health outcomes.

Despite these benefits, many women in business struggle to build friendships due to feelings of competition or a lack of support. However, a 2025 Forbes study highlighted that women who prioritize supportive friendships experience significantly improved career outcomes. Astonishingly, 56% of women noted their friendships positively impacted their leadership potential! Prominent entrepreneurs understand friendship's importance, too. Even one of Dr. K's favorite authors and entrepreneurs, Rachel Rogers, speaks about the "Power of Hello" and How To Make Friends In 2025 with strategies for developing meaningful connections.
