What To Do When Your Life Blows up | Emma Heming Willis

What To Do When Your Life Blows up | Emma Heming Willis

When life gets turbulent, is self-care self-indulgent?

Emma Heming Willis is a mother, step-mother, wife, and an advocate. After her husband, Bruce Willis, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, she became a passionate voice for care partners and families navigating neurodegenerative disease. Her new book is called The Unexpected Journey: Finding Strength, Hope, and Yourself on the Caregiving Path.

In this episode we talk about:

  • The moment Bruce was diagnosed
  • The importance of self-care and community support for caregivers
  • Actionable advice on making time for oneself
  • How to ask for and accept help when you need it
  • Why learning to care for other people is a skill we should all develop (and how it might actually enhance your life)
  • Tools for dealing with life's most difficult emotions
  • How to reframe painful experiences
  • And much more
