Dr. Kelly Flanagan explores the invisible walls we build around our hearts and minds, revealing how these boundaries shape our relationships, protect our sense of self, and sometimes isolate us.

Quotes to ponder:
"Perhaps the biggest walls, the most important walls, are the ones that cannot be seen at all."
