Given the skyrocketing rates of loneliness, depression, anxiety and suicide since the release of the first iPhone in 2007 and Android phone a year later, we can say that our first attempt as human beings at creating healthy social relationships has largely failed.   I’m Dr. Anthony Silard, your host of ReSocial. Are you the type of person who values nothing more in your life than your close relationships? If you are, ReSocial was created for you. We bring in the top thought leaders in the world at the nexus of research and practice to help you rediscover, reflect on and renew the CMSRs – the Compassionate, Meaningful, Sustainable Relationships - in your life. Let’s get started so you can create the life you have imagined – a life filled with CMSRs.

    Your Attention Please - Anxiety, Depression and Isolation is The Cost of Constant Scrolling

    Many of us feel trapped by our phones. We know we're spending too much time scrolling, comparing, performing for an audience that may not even be paying attention. And we've tried to stop—put the phone down, set boundaries, just log off for a day. But here's what we often discover: willpower alone isn't enough. Because these platforms aren't neutral tools. They're engineered to keep us hooked, to make disconnection feel impossible, and to make authentic connection feel harder than ever. So the real question isn't just "How do I use my phone less?" It's "What do we do about the systems that are designed to pull us in?" Hello, I'm your host Dr. Anthony Silard, and welcome to ReSocial—where we rediscover, reflect on and renew how we approach social relationships so we can develop Compassionate, Meaningful, Sustainable Relationships, or what we call CMSRs. Today I’m joined by Sara Robin and Jack LeMay, filmmakers, and Kristin Bride, whose story of loss and advocacy became the heart of the documentary Your Attention Please. Together, they've explored how social media design shapes our relationships, and more importantly, what becomes possible when we stop accepting the status quo. We're talking about what it actually looks like to reclaim your attention and build the kind of communities that social media promised but rarely delivers. The answer isn't about disconnecting from the world—it's about connecting to each other in ways that feel real.

    Dr. Todd Kashdan – You Don’t Discover Your Purpose, You Cultivate It

    For years, we've been told that purpose comes from finding your passion—that lightning-bolt moment when you know exactly what you're meant to do. But many of our listeners are still waiting for that clarity. They're navigating constant change, working in uncertain conditions, raising families in an unstable world, trying to build meaning when the ground keeps shifting. And they're wondering: Is purpose something you find, or is it something you build—moment by moment, choice by choice, through the relationships and work that matter to you? Hello, I'm your host Dr. Anthony Silard, and welcome to ReSocial—where we rediscover, reflect on and renew how we approach social relationships so we can develop Compassionate, Meaningful, Sustainable Relationships, or what we call CMSRs. Today I’m joined by author and psychologist Dr. Todd Kashdan. His recent work has fundamentally redefined what we mean by purpose in life. He's shown that purpose isn't about having all the answers. It's about how you engage with uncertainty itself. It's about direction over destination. And for people navigating a world that refuses to stay still, that changes everything.

    Dr. Linda Babcock – The Invisible Gender Gap No One Talks About

    Here's the difficult question: if you're already trapped, if your calendar is packed with non-promotable work and saying no feels impossible, what do you do? Waiting for your organization to change could take years. And in the meantime, your career is stalling. Your life doesn't look like you want it to. You're exhausted. Hello, I'm your host Dr. Anthony Silard, and welcome to ReSocial—where we rediscover, reflect on and renew how we approach social relationships so we can develop Compassionate, Meaningful, Sustainable Relationships, or what we call CMSRs. Today I’m joined by Dr. Linda Babcock, co-author of The No Club: Putting a Stop to Women's Dead-End Work. Her research reveals you have more agency than you think. It starts with one thing: seeing clearly what you're actually doing with your time. And then making conscious choices about what you want to keep, what you want to shed, and how to have that conversation with your supervisor. We’re going to talk about practical agency in a system that was designed to take it from you.

    Carl Honore – To Improve Your Relationships as Quickly as Possible, Slow Down

    We often talk about slowness as an idea. But for many of our listeners, it's not abstract at all. They're trying to slow down with their kids while schools demand constant achievement. They're trying to be present with aging parents while managing work. They're trying to care for their bodies when the culture treats health like another thing to optimize and rush through. Today we're going deeper into where slowness actually shows up—in the everyday moments that shape who we are and how we connect. Hello, I'm your host Dr. Anthony Silard, and welcome to ReSocial—where we rediscover, reflect on and renew how we approach social relationships so we can develop Compassionate, Meaningful, Sustainable Relationships, or what we call CMSRs. Today I'm joined by Carl Honoré, award-winning author and speaker, who spent his career as a journalist watching the world accelerate. But his real breakthrough came when he realized he was caught in the same trap. Carl's here to talk about what changed when he decided to stop, and what that shift revealed about how we connect with ourselves and each other.

    Dr. Jennifer Crocker – When Helping Others Backfires

    Think about the best conversation you’ve had in the last year: the one that left you feeling closer to someone. It’s likely that in that conversation, you weren’t thinking about yourself at all. Why do those moments seem rarer than they should be and what would we have to change to have more of them? Hello, I'm your host Dr. Anthony Silard, and welcome to ReSocial—where we rediscover, reflect on and renew how we approach social relationships so we can develop Compassionate, Meaningful, Sustainable Relationships, or what we call CMSRs.  Today I’m joined by Dr. Jennifer Crocker, a renowned social psychologist, fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and recipient of the Lifetime Career Award from the International Society for Self and Identity. Jenny has spent her research career studying self-esteem and how compassionate goals impact our quality of connection with others, leading to richer CMSRs.

    Dr. Dacher Keltner – The Power of Nature to Help You Become Kinder and Less Entitled

    Many of our listeners are caught in the machinery of modern life: the constant comparison, the pressure to appear successful, the narrowing of vision to what they can control. And somewhere beneath that, there's a longing for something bigger—a moment that reminds them they're part of a vast, beautiful, mysterious world. We've learned to suppress awe, to dismiss it as impractical, to push it aside in favor of productivity, but awe might just be the antidote to the isolation and anxiety that comes from a life too focused on the self. Hello, I'm your host Dr. Anthony Silard, and welcome to ReSocial—where we rediscover, reflect on and renew how we approach social relationships so we can develop Compassionate, Meaningful, Sustainable Relationships, or what we call CMSRs. Today I’m joined by Dr. Dacher Keltner, whose research shows us that experiencing awe literally rewires how we think, how we connect, and how we show up in our relationships. His work demonstrates that awe diminishes self-focused thinking, increases our sense of belonging, and opens us to the deeper patterns of meaning that hold our lives together. When you cultivate awe, you don't just feel better. You become capable of genuine, compassionate presence—the very foundation of CMSRs.  Check out his book Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life: https://bit.ly/4exdApS Information about Dacher: https://www.dacherkeltner.com/  ReSocial and Anthony Silard: ·         ReSocial on ABC/KMET with podcast links: https://www.kmet1490am.com/resocial ·         Are you willing to tell us what you enjoyed about ReSocial and what you think can be improved?

    Dr. Alejandro Poire Romero – Yes, Leaders Can Still Be Humble

    Many of our listeners are caught between two worlds. You're a parent trying to be present, but you're also responsible for something beyond your family—a team, a department, a vision. And if your work is public, if your name is attached to decisions, your family knows it. Your children see the criticism. Your partner watches the toll. You want to model integrity for your children, but you also want to protect them from exposure they didn't ask for. Hello, I'm your host Dr. Anthony Silard, and welcome to ReSocial—where we rediscover, reflect on and renew how we approach social relationships so we can develop Compassionate, Meaningful, Sustainable Relationships, or what we call CMSRs.   I'm here with Alejandro Poiré Romero, former spokesperson for the Mexico’s national security strategy during the Calderón administration. Today, we're exploring something we don't talk about enough: what happens to relationships—family relationships, marriages, the way we show up as parents—when we're leading under pressure. And what happens when we choose to be honest with our children about who we are, even when honesty is risky.   Information about Alejandro: https://tec.mx/en/our-faculty/ecsg/alejandro-poire?srsltid=AfmBOorZNrEPSbxDLLyNbspdxQuYdvQgaQF8wj9zkhhPtTH3z_5MD827   ReSocial and Anthony Silard: ·         ReSocial on ABC/KMET with podcast links: https://www.kmet1490am.com/resocial ·         Are you willing to tell us what you enjoyed about ReSocial and what you think can be improved?

    Dr. Kristen Shockley – Women are Burning Out in Zoom Meetings – Here’s Why

    If working from home is so exhausting, why do people prefer it? Why do organizations keep fighting about bringing people back to the office? Hello, I'm your host Dr. Anthony Silard, and welcome to ReSocial—where we rediscover, reflect on and renew how we approach social relationships so we can develop Compassionate, Meaningful, Sustainable Relationships, or what we call CMSRs.   Today I'm joined by Dr. Kristen Shockley, whose NSF-funded research into remote work patterns reveals something surprising: people who work from home actually work the same amount as office workers. But they're spending the time they save differently. And some of those differences are genuinely healthy.   Information about Kristin’s research: https://harbert.auburn.edu/directory/kristen-shockley.html   ReSocial and Anthony Silard: ·         ReSocial on ABC/KMET with podcast links: https://www.kmet1490am.com/resocial ·         Are you willing to tell us what you enjoyed about ReSocial and what you think can be improved?
