Walls offer a sense of safety and reliability that protect against harm. However, over time, what was once designed to keep danger out can restrict progress and limit access to new opportunities. Walls dedictated to protection at one phase of life can imprison you at another. Discerning the difference between when to take down a wall and when to allow movement forward requires a guide and a gentle push into letting go of certainty and risking expansion.
