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/42YBllrMore 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
