Many wives built emotional walls for good reasons—hurt, betrayal, disappointment, or exhaustion. But what once felt protective can quietly block intimacy, desire, and connection.

In this episode, Chelsey gently exposes the difference between biblical guarding and hardened walls, and why God never intended protection to cost you tenderness.

This episode will help you understand:

• How guarding turns into emotional walls over time
• Why walls block intimacy even when intentions are good
• The difference between wisdom and hardening
• How God softens the heart without removing discernment
• Why intimacy requires openness—not self-protection

If your heart feels closed, distant, or numb—even while “doing everything right”—this episode will help you return to softness without fear.
