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.

    Dr. Alejandro Poire Romero – Navigating Tough Decisions with Empathy

    Many of our listeners feel the weight of real responsibility—they're leading teams, raising children, navigating visibility they didn't always expect. And if you're doing that work while your country is in crisis, while you're watching democratic institutions strain under pressure, you're carrying something heavier. Imagine holding the weight of decisions that affect thousands of people, all while you're trying to be a steady parent, a present partner, a human being underneath the role. How can you lead with integrity when the system itself feels like it's failing? 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 Alejandro Poiré Romero, a Mexican political scientist and former Secretary of the Interior of Mexico who has spent his life thinking about how democracies work—and how they break. He's also a father who has navigated profound personal transitions while serving at the highest levels of his country's government. His story reveals something essential about leadership under pressure: the personal and political are never separate.

    Dr. Kristen Shockley – Women are Still the Default for Caretaking in Families – and What It Causes

    Many of our listeners have lived through a shock to their working lives. Whether it was the COVID-19 pandemic, a sudden shift to remote work, or a partner's job change, they found themselves navigating something they weren't prepared for: How do we decide whose career takes priority? Who adjusts? And what does that adjustment cost when it lands unequally on one person's shoulders? 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, a leading researcher on work-family dynamics and a scientist studying the real story behind dual-earner couples making career decisions under pressure. Her research reveals something uncomfortable: when couples are forced to make choices about whose work matters more, it's rarely a conversation of equals. And the cost of that decision shows up in the relationship itself.

    Dr. Alicia Grandey – What Do the Emotional Expression of Women and Menopause Have in Common?

    Many of our listeners spend their working lives managing how they appear to others — monitoring their emotions, controlling their responses, sometimes faking what they actually feel just to fit in at work. And if you're a woman navigating midlife, you're often managing something else entirely: your body's own rebellion in the form of hot flashes, brain fog, or sudden emotional shifts. You're working twice as hard and getting half the credit. Today we're talking about the hidden cost of that effort, and what it means for our connections to ourselves and to each other.   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. Alicia Grandey, a distinguished professor of psychology at Penn State University, whose research over the past quarter century has fundamentally changed how we think about emotional authenticity in the workplace. She's here to talk about why we're all paying a price we barely notice and what liberation looks like when we stop paying it.   Alicia’s new book Emotionally Charged: https://bit.ly/42YBllr More information about Alicia’s research: https://psych.la.psu.edu/people/aag6/ ReSocial and Anthony Silard: ·         ReSocial on ABC/KMET with podcast links: https://www.kmet1490am.com/resocial ·         Anthony Silard’s Latest Book Love and Suffering: https://amzn.to/42kjCE3 ·         Anthony Silard Amazon Author Page: https://amzn.to/48Drq8e ·         Two Free Books by Anthony Silard: https://bit.ly/3Rajkuw ·         Managing Loneliness Video Course with Anthony Silard: https://theartoflivingfree.org/course-managing-loneliness/ ·         Connect with Anthony on: o    Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-silard-a305516/ o    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anthony.silard/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/anthony.silard.3

    Dr. Nicholas Epley – Are You Making the Choice of Social Connection?

    Have you ever felt like the people around you were somehow unreachable? Maybe you were on a bus or an elevator or sitting across from someone at dinner and the distance between you felt wider than it should. If you’ve ever wondered whether the connections you keep meaning to make are worth making—and whether the people you hesitate to reach out to really want to hear from you—today’s guest has spent more than twenty years finding out.   Hello, I'm your host Dr. Anthony Silard, and welcome to ReSocial—where we 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. Nick Epley, professor of behavioral science at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and author of the upcoming book A Little More Social. Nick teaches one of Chicago Booth’s most sought-after courses: “Designing a Good Life.”For over two decades, his research has examined social cognition and why well-meaning people so routinely underestimate how much others would enjoy connecting with them, and how much good they could do by reaching out.   Nick’s new book A Little More Social: https://bit.ly/4wyGTAx ReSocial and Anthony Silard: ·         ReSocial on ABC/KMET with podcast links: https://www.kmet1490am.com/resocial ·         Anthony Silard’s Latest Book Love and Suffering: https://amzn.to/42kjCE3 ·         Anthony Silard Amazon Author Page: https://amzn.to/48Drq8e ·         Two Free Books by Anthony Silard: https://bit.ly/3Rajkuw ·         Managing Loneliness Video Course with Anthony Silard: https://theartoflivingfree.org/course-managing-loneliness/ ·         Connect with Anthony on: o    Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-silard-a305516/ o    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anthony.silard/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/anthony.silard.3

    Dr. Juliana Schroeder – Talk to Strangers

    Think about the last argument you had over text. Maybe it escalated faster than you expected. Maybe the other person came across as colder or more hostile than they probably meant to be. There’s a neuroscientific reason for that and once you understand it, you can’t unsee it.   Hello, I'm your host Dr. Anthony Silard, and welcome to ReSocial—where we 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 Professor Juliana Schroeder from University of California Berkeley, one of the world’s leading researchers on how we communicate, how we read each other’s minds, and how the tools we use to connect are quietly changing what it means to be human to one another.   Learn more about Juliana Schroeder: https://julianaschroeder.com ReSocial and Anthony Silard: ·         ReSocial on ABC/KMET with podcast links: https://www.kmet1490am.com/resocial ·         Anthony Silard’s Latest Book Love and Suffering: https://amzn.to/42kjCE3 ·         Anthony Silard Amazon Author Page: https://amzn.to/48Drq8e ·         Two Free Books by Anthony Silard: https://bit.ly/3Rajkuw ·         Managing Loneliness Video Course with Anthony Silard: https://theartoflivingfree.org/course-managing-loneliness/ ·         Connect with Anthony on: o    Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-silard-a305516/ o    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anthony.silard/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/anthony.silard.3

    Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky: The Gap between Being Loved and Feeling Loved

    Have you ever had someone in your life who clearly cared about you, and yet, for some reason you couldn’t put your finger on, you still didn’t feel loved? You weren’t making that up. It turns out there’s a real gap between being loved and feeling loved.   Hello, I'm your host Dr. Anthony Silard, and welcome to ReSocial—where we 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. Sonja Lyubomirsky, one of the leading happiness researchers and author of How to Feel Loved. She's spent decades studying what actually moves the needle on human connection, and her latest research reveals something that changes everything: the gap between being loved and feeling it is something we can actually do something about.     Learn more about Sonja Lyubomirsky: https://sonjalyubomirsky.com/ Sonja’s new book How to Feel Loved: https://howtofeelloved.com/   ReSocial:  ·       Subscribe on Youtube: https://bit.ly/ReSocialYT ·       Anthony Silard’s Latest Book Love and Suffering: https://amzn.to/42kjCE3 ·       Anthony Silard Amazon Author Page: https://amzn.to/48Drq8e ·       Two Free Books by Anthony Silard: https://bit.ly/3Rajkuw ·       Managing Loneliness Video Course with Anthony Silard: https://theartoflivingfree.org/course-managing-loneliness/ ·       Connect with Anthony on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-silard-a305516/
