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.

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.

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.

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.
