You’ll become the version of yourself that is healthy and whole enough to step into God’s purpose, building meaningful relationships and serving those around you. Once you learn how to improve your relationship with yourself, you can effectively love others selflessly.
How to Improve Relationships with Everyone Else

Understanding the importance of relationships is the first step in cultivating a meaningful community of people to bring joy and fulfillment to your life. Relationships are challenging–there is no way around that, whether it’s trying to make friends as an adult or establishing boundaries with family. But we need people. We’re designed for relationships. We thrive in community.
And our internal healing isn’t complete until tested and refined externally in relationships with others. Once you learn how to build healthy relationships with everyone else, you step into the fullness of who God created you to be.
