Emma Heming Willis is a former model and now entrepreneur and author who joins The Oprah Podcast to discuss her new book “The Unexpected Journey: Finding Hope and Purpose on the Caregiving Path.” It’s the book Emma says she wishes she had when she and her husband, legendary actor Bruce Willis, faced his frontotemporal dementia diagnosis. Emma shares with Oprah why “The Unexpected Journey” is a guide to navigating the complicated, heartbreaking, and transformative experience that is caregiving. When Bruce Willis was diagnosed in 2022, the couple was given a pamphlet and told to check back in a few months. With no hope or direction, Emma walked out of the doctor’s office frozen with fear, confusion and a sense that her world had just fallen apart. How would she care for her husband while parenting their young daughters and protecting her family’s privacy? Emma interviewed the world’s top dementia and caregiving experts to share their expertise in the book. Oprah and Emma are also joined by two women who have been through the caregiving process – they share their challenges and learnings.

Oprah & Richard Rohr on Finding Hope in Uncertain Times

A musical performance and in-depth conversation with Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, producer, speaker and adventurer Mike Posner who brought his guitar to perform for Oprah and our listeners. When Mike Posner’s hit songs “Cooler Than Me” and “I Took a Pill in Ibiza” shot him to stardom at a young age, he quickly learned fame and fortune did not provide the contentment and joy he says his late father always wanted for his son’s life. In 2019, Mike literally walked away from Hollywood to set out to find happiness by trekking across the entire United States of America on foot beginning on the New Jersey coast and ending in the ocean at Venice Beach, California. Mike’s “Walk Across America” took him six months, he crossed 13 states, traveled 2,851 miles and took 5.7 million steps. Mike talks to Oprah about the five lessons to finding happiness he learned during his walk that are relatable to us all (even the moment a poisonous rattlesnake bit his leg, threatening his life and delaying his cross-country adventure.) Mike tells Oprah not everyone has to walk thousands of miles to find happiness, but he hopes the lessons he learned can help you find your own sense of belonging and joy.
