Dr. Linda Babcock – The Invisible Gender Gap No One Talks About 22.10.2026 27m

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.Check out Linda’s book The No Club: Putting a Stop to Women’s Dead-End Work: https://www.thenoclub.com/ Information about Linda: https://www.cmu.edu/dietrich/sds/people/emeritus/linda-babcock.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?

Carl Honore – To Improve Your Relationships as Quickly as Possible, Slow Down 16.10.2026 27m

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.Check out Carl’s book In Praise of Slow: https://bit.ly/4ybNt0VInformation about Carl: https://carlhonore.infoReSocial 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. Jennifer Crocker – When Helping Others Backfires 07.10.2026 27m

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.Check out Jenny’s Substack “The Ego Equation” https://theegoequation.substack.com/Information about Jenny: https://psychology.osu.edu/people/crocker.37 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. Dacher Keltner – The Power of Nature to Help You Become Kinder and Less Entitled 30.09.2026 26m

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.

Dr. Alejandro Poire Romero – Yes, Leaders Can Still Be Humble 23.09.2026 27m

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.

Dr. Kristen Shockley – Women are Burning Out in Zoom Meetings – Here’s Why 18.09.2026 26m

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.

Dr. Alicia Grandey – Women are Shamed about their Bodies in the Workplace 09.09.2026 26m

Many of our listeners are exhausted. They're managing invisible demands — a health transition, a shift in their body, emotions they can't quite control — while performing competence and calm at work. They're faking it because that's what the job requires, what their industry demands, what they've learned will keep them safe. 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 joined today by Dr. Alicia Grandey, a distinguished professor of industrial-organizational psychology at Penn State University and the author of Emotionally Charged: How to Lead in the New World of Work. Her research shows that there's usually a reason why trying harder to manage yourself isn't working. When you spend your energy faking emotions instead of feeling them, you don't just burn out. You become invisible. You become lonely. The solution isn't more discipline or better emotional management. It's understanding what you need to feel safe enough to be yourself and recognizing that authenticity, not performance, is the foundation of real connection.

Dr. Nicholas Epley – Always on My Mind, Never Shared: The Cost of Withheld Gratitude 02.09.2026 26m

Many of our listeners feel thankful for something in their lives: their families, close friendships, comfortable homes, good health. How many of us keep that gratitude to ourselves?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 joined today by Dr. Nick Epley, professor at the University of Chicago and author of the upcoming book A Little More Social. We’re talking about the choices that keep us more isolated than we need to be and why the connections we are most likely to avoid are the ones that would almost always reward us. I want to turn now to a specific form of reaching out that Nick’s research shows is both more powerful and more neglected than almost anything else we can do: expressing gratitude.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· Are you willing to tell us what you enjoyed about ReSocial and what you think can be improved?

Dr. Juliana Schroeder – Going to Text Instead of Call? Think Again 25.08.2026 26m

Have you ever been in a conversation where you could feel—almost physically—that the other person wasn't trying to understand you, they were just trying to win? Most of us have been on both sides of that divide. 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 we’re speaking with Professor Juliana Schroeder, who teaches Negotiations and Conflict Resolution at Berkeley Haas. Her research reveals something counterintuitive: the way we approach disagreement is almost perfectly designed to fail. She's discovered what actually works in hard conversations—whether between teenagers from opposite sides of a conflict or two people in the same house trying to find their way back to each other.Learn more about Juliana Schroeder: https://julianaschroeder.com Psychology of Technology Institute: https://www.psychoftech.org/ 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. Jenny Radesky – What Distracted Parents are Really Saying to Their Kids 20.08.2026 27m

Many of our listeners graduated into adulthood in a different world than the one their children inhabit. You navigated your own childhood without a smartphone in your pocket, a notification pinging every few seconds, an algorithm deciding what you see. And now you're trying to parent in an environment that moves faster, connects deeper, and—if we're honest—works directly against the kind of presence and conversation that builds CMSRs. 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. Jenny Radesky, a developmental pediatrician at the University of Michigan and co-Medical Director of the American Academy of Pediatrics' Center of Excellence on Social Media and Youth Mental Health. Her career is built on a simple but radical premise: the problem isn't you, the parent, trying harder to manage screens. The problem is the systems—the design choices, the business incentives, the lack of federal guardrails—that make it almost impossible for families to build authentic connection in the first place.Learn more about Jenny Radesky: https://medschool.umich.edu/profile/3561/jenny-radesky The American Association of Pediatrics Center of Excellence: https://aap.org 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. Sonja Lyubomirsky – The Five Mindsets for Feeling Loved 12.08.2026 25m

Feeling loved is something we build through how we choose to show up in every conversation, with every person who matters to us. And the power of that—the part that's actually within your control—starts with the first move. It's yours to make.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. We’re joined today by Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky, author of How to Feel Loved, to discuss her research which shows us that how we listen—how we stay genuinely curious about the people we love—may be one of the most powerful things we can change if we want to feel more loved and help the people we care about feel the same way.Learn more about Sonja Lyubomirsky: https://sonjalyubomirsky.com/Sonja’s new book How to Feel Loved: https://howtofeelloved.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. Richard Boyatzis – What Happens When You Overdose on Convenience 04.08.2026 28m

Have you ever ended a long week feeling completely spent or like you gave everything and somehow came back with less than you started? Or maybe you have someone in your life who keeps pushing, keeps achieving, but seems to be running on fumes and doesn't know why. That feeling isn't a personal failing, and it has a solution.

Today I'm joined by Dr. Richard Boyatzis, Distinguished Professor at Case Western Reserve University and author of The Science of Change.

Your Attention Please – How Many of Our Tech Companies are Harming Our Children 30.07.2026 28m

Many of our listeners picked up their phones this morning and scrolled before getting out of bed. Some of you are still holding yours while listening to this. And a lot of you have felt, at some point, a small voice asking: Is this what I actually want? Is this how I want to spend my attention, my time, my relationships? But here's the thing—it's not just a personal weakness or a lack of willpower. It's by design. Today on ReSocial, we're talking to the creators and contributors of Your Attention Please, a film that explores how so many of us became addicted to our phones and asks who built them that way? 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.

Dr. Todd Kashdan – The Dangers of Denying Your Capacity to Manage Adversity 21.07.2026 26m

Many people listening are caught between two worlds. On one hand, you've been taught to seek comfort—to find safety in what you know, to stick with the familiar, to avoid the discomfort that comes with asking hard questions. On the other hand, you sense that the greatest growth, the deepest connections, and the most meaningful work happen precisely when you're willing to feel uncomfortable. You're learning that the things worth discovering often live on the other side of uncertainty.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. Todd Kashdan, Professor of Psychology at George Mason University and director of the Well-Being Laboratory whose entire career has been devoted to understanding why we often avoid discomfort when it's actually the gateway to our best selves. His research reveals that curiosity is a fundamental human capacity for growth that begins with the willingness to not know. And for many of our listeners trying to build better relationships in polarized times, that's where everything starts.

They wake up running, they work in a state of constant acceleration, and by the time they slow down at night, they're too exhausted to actually connect with the people they love. They know something is wrong with this pace, but they don't know how to change it—or even if it's possible. Today we're talking about why that exhaustion exists, what it costs us, and what becomes possible when we finally decide to stop running.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 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.Check out Carl’s book In Praise of Slow: https://bit.ly/4ybNt0V Information about Carl: https://carlhonore.info 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. Jennifer Crocker – Your Work is Not Your Worth 03.07.2026 28m

Have you ever spent hours crafting the perfect email, rehearsing what you’d say before a hard conversation, or replaying an interaction trying to figure out how you came across? Most of us do this more than we’d like to admit. And here’s what research shows: that effort — all that energy spent managing how others see us — is one of the main things getting between us and the connection we want.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.

Dr. Dacher Keltner – Why are Wealthy People Often Less Kind? 22.06.2026 27m

Many people listening have experienced moments that shifted everything—standing before something vast, witnessing genuine goodness in another person, or feeling a connection to something much larger than themselves.

Dr. Alejandro Poire Romero – Navigating Tough Decisions with Empathy 10.06.2026 26m

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.Information about Alejandro: https://tec.mx/en/our-faculty/ecsg/alejandro-poire?srsltid=AfmBOorZNrEPSbxDLLyNbspdxQuYdvQgaQF8wj9zkhhPtTH3z_5MD827ReSocial 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/o Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/anthony.silard.3
