What Our Walls Taught Me

What Our Walls Taught MeBy: The Builder's Wife Published on: 23/06/2025

In her debut essay for The Discovery Loft, The Builder’s Wife reflects on the unexpected lessons found in wood, nails, and the willingness to change direction. What began as a simple walkthrough of their framed home-in-progress turned into something deeper: a realization that even the most “set” parts of our lives can still be moved. With honesty and emotional precision, she shares what it means to see something clearly, admit it needs to change, and rebuild—not just walls, but beliefs. This piece marks the beginning of her voice inside the Loft, and a quiet reminder that we’re never stuck.
