Oprah and Bruce Willis' Wife Emma on Finding Strength, Hope & Yourself in Caregiving

from The Oprah Podcast

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.Buy the book!https://amzn.to/45HIYxThttps://maketimewellness.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorTxnB-LpkrVXckskht9lBXlfgm8nt1vRjSCqJaQlCbuS4mco1Q Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@Oprah?sub_confirmation=1Follow Oprah Winfrey on Social:https://www.instagram.com/oprahpodcast/https://www.instagram.com/oprah/https://www.facebook.com/oprahwinfrey/Listen to the full podcast:https://open.spotify.com/show/0tEVrfNp92a7lbjDe6GMLIhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-oprah-podcast/id1782960381
