What happens when remote work starts affecting your closest relationships?
In this eye-opening episode of the Resocial Podcast, Dr. Anthony Silard sits down with renowned researcher Dr. Kristen Shockley to explore the hidden impact of remote work, hybrid workplaces, and virtual communication on marriage, intimacy, mental health, and social connection.
