EPISODE 18: Who We Become Under Pressure, And How to Reclaim Ourselves

Pressure has a way of revealing what we’re really carrying.

In this episode of Cut 2 The Chase at 8, Madison Samone Chase explores how stress, inconvenience, and everyday frustrations can quietly shape who we become — especially in moments when things don’t go our way.

Through lived experience, reflection, and practical insight, this conversation examines how pressure acts as a mirror, why our responses matter more than we realize, and how pausing in the middle of stress can help us reclaim our values, our voice, and our sense of self.

This episode invites listeners to slow down, reflect, and consider how they want to show up — not just when life is calm, but when it’s uncomfortable, delayed, or demanding.

You’ll hear:

• How pressure reveals what we’ve been holding internally
• Why pausing is one of the most powerful tools we have
• How we can advocate for ourselves without abandoning empathy
• What it means to respond instead of react

As always, this episode includes three keys and one reflection question designed to help you integrate the message into your real, everyday life — but you’ll need to listen to discover what they are.
