Emma Heming Willis

This conversation completely changed the way I think about that.

Today's guests are Emma Heming Willis and Dr. Nicole Beurkens.

Emma is a women's brain health advocate and co-creator of Make Time Wellness, a brand that she created after her own experience with brain fog led her to completely rethink the way that we care for our brains.

And her mission has taken on an even deeper personal meaning in recent years as her husband, Bruce Willis, has navigated frontotemporal dementia, making her an important voice in the larger conversation around brain health.

It actually made me feel really empowered by how much of brain health comes back to simple things that we already know make us feel better, and a few things that I never really thought about before.

Let's get into it.

Welcome Emma Heming Willis and Dr. Nicole Beurkens to the Every Girl Podcast.

A lot of us hear the term brain health, and we think that's something that our parents have to worry about in order to prevent dementia.

We've done some interviews there as well.

We've been reading the book by Emma Hemming Willis about taking care of Bruce Willis and her journey there.

And we've got some great information online on our Facebook page, on our YouTube channel for SLF about that.

I encourage you to go look for that.

He never failed to boost your love of the game.

Emma Heming Willis is sharing a message of hope opening up about life since her husband and actor Bruce Willis was diagnosed with frontal temporal dementia.

Entertainment Weekly previewed an exclusive interview where she says Willis still has quote beautiful moments of joy and connection.

Now in that interview, Emma says there's such a negative narrative around dementia, adding we need to be careful and reframe that the whole family has rallied around him and Emma is making sure nobody walks the road alone.

You know, if you're crying a lot, the other person isn't crying, doesn't mean that they're not upset, does not mean that at all.

Another book I came across that really came into my life at a very, important time when my mom was getting sick was Emma Hemming Willis.

She's the wife of Bruce Willis.

And she wrote a book called The Unexpected Journey.
