About this listen

 What keeps us from leaving the life we know? Why do so many dream of escape but never take the first step? In this episode of The Fall of Us, we follow the story of Chesrea—a woman born into a life that wasn’t hers, caught between family duty and the deep longing to see the world beyond her small Mississippi town. Through her story, we explore the quiet struggles of those who yearn for something more but feel the invisible chains of expectation holding them back. What does it really mean to leave? And more importantly—what does it cost?

🎧 Listen now to The Fall of Us—a podcast about modern American life, self-discovery, and the things that keep us tethered in place.
