Our mothers are our first love. The relationship between a mother and child is vital, and it can shape a person's life in profound ways. Unfortunately, for some of us, our relationship with our mother has been broken or strained. Whether it is due to past traumas, misunderstandings, or differences in personalities, repairing the bond with your mother is possible. As we celebrate mothers in this month of May, we want to encourage everyone to work towards restoring and fixing their relationships with one another. It will take time and effort, but it is worth the sacrifice to have a healthy and positive relationship.

Join the conversation with Alexis Thomas as she shares her experience and the lessons from her childhood relationship with her mom, tips on how she is doing it today with her kids and strategies on how we can restore relationships to make them better. Alexis is a mom of 5 and runs an online business called Four and Company. She's a huge nerd of anything politics, science and English related. Over the years, she has become a huge DIY, and she enjoys being a mom and doing life with her village.
