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
