If you’ve ever thought to yourself: “I’m tired of the advice that tells me to ‘just set boundaries’ or ‘cut people off’…”
Good news. There’s another way.
Meet Relational Skills for Liberation. A 50-page workbook designed to help you practice love-centered boundaries, repair relational ruptures, and build relationships that actually last. This isn’t theory, these are skills rooted in lived experience, cultural unlearning, and practical tools you can use right now.
We’re not suffering from a lack of information. We’re short on skills that actually keep our relationships alive.
Most of us were taught that boundaries mean punishment, conflict means the end, and repair is option. So we end up swallowing our truth, or exploding with rage, or walking away from relationships we actually want to keep.
The result? We’re stuck repeating the same patterns, mistaking survival for connection.
You lose chosen family you thought would last forever
You hide behind a version of yourself just to be accepted
You stay too long with people who don’t meet you halfway
Relationships don’t fall apart because people are “toxic.” They fall apart because we never learned the skills to repair, reconnect, and stay in them.
HERE ARE SOME HARD TRUTHS
Boundaries without repair are just punishment. Cutting people off doesn’t teach you how to stay in relationships worth saving.
Rage without skills leaves you stuck. Exploding might feel powerful, but it doesn’t build the safety you actually crave

If you don’t build those skills, “toxic” will just keep being the story. But the real solution is in how we relate.
If relationships came with a guidebook, you’d already have there connections you long for.
But it doesn’t because most of us were never taught how to repair after rupture, set boundaries without punishment, or stay when it gets hard.
And that’s where I come in.
Hey there!
I’m Christabel Mintah-Galloway, a nurse of 13 years, a writer, and the creator of Relational Skills for Liberation.
I didn't build this workbook out of theory, I built it out of survival. As a queer African immigrant woman, I’ve lived through CPTSD and rupture after rupture after rupture, and the loss of every relationship I had when I came out as a lesbian.
My congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses deemed me unfit for their company, and I had to start over at 28, learning how to build relationships from scratch.
This workbook is the body of work that came out of years of that survival: years of unlearning, staying with myself when it would have been easier to disappear, and practicing the exact skills that saved my relationships.
Now at 40, after over a decade of doing this thing for myself and others around me, I know that relational sills are not just self-help, they’re liberation work. And I want you to have there same tools tat have carried me and thousands of others forward repair, authenticity and connection.
“I didn’t create this workbook from theory. It was born out of survival.”
This work matters which is why in the last 7 months, I’ve grown from 10,000 to 100,000 people following this work and it reaches over 6 million people a month.
People are tired of shallow advice and are longing for something deeper. I don’t post trendy content nor do I play the algorithm game. The frameworks I teach — repair, love-centered boundaries, and bold authenticity — actually resonate.
And that’s why I created the workbook.
INTRODUCING…
Relational Skills for Liberation Workbook
BY CHRISTABEL MINTAH-GALLOWAY
This is the workbook I wish I a decade ago when I realized that I knew nothing about building relationships. We’re told building adult relationships are hard but no one gives us the map to navigate it.
Inside, you’ll find practical tools to help you practice repair, set love-centered boundaries, and stay in relationships that matter without losing yourself.
It’s like sitting down with someone who’s lived through rupture, shame, and survival, and being handed the exact skills to reconnect, rebuild and stay rooted in love.
If you love my work on social media, this is the workbook for you. This is the kind of work that asks to be done beyond social media squares.
Relational Skills for Liberation workbook walks you through:
Boundaries that don’t shut people out -> love-centered boundaries you can actually live with.
Ruptures that feel like the end -> repair practices that bring people back together.
Triggers that hijack your body -> gentle tools to return to yourself without drowning in shame
Isolation when things get hard -> the skills to ask for help and let yourself be held

Ready to go deeper into REPAIR?
Repair is hard for so many of us because we were not taught to even think about it much less how to actually do it.
And when you look on the internet, much of what you’ll see is scripts that label the other person. Which honestly, I think is such a waste of time.
What I do think is a better use of time is focusing on our side of the lane, our 1% (even when it’s 99% their fault).
Because it’s that focus that’ll help us build the discernment to say goodbye to relationships that have long stopped being reciprocal, and to deepen the trust, vulnerability, and loving-kindness in the ones that still nourish you.
That’s what the Relational Repair Playbook is about.
Step-by-step frameworks for repair that actually hold accountability without shame.
Practices for pacing, regulation, and creating boundaries that don’t punish but invite reconnection.
Sample scripts for both sides of rupture, when you’ve hurt someone and when you’ve been hurt.
Community-tested rituals and check-ins to make repair sustainable over time.
