Emma Heming Willis knows this reality firsthand. After her husband Bruce Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, Emma found herself in one of life's most challenging roles: caregiver. In this raw, powerful conversation, she reveals what actually helps when caregiving gets hard, why asking for help saved her, and the one thing every caregiver needs to survive. Emma Heming Willis is a mother, step-mother, wife, advocate, and co-founder of  Make Time Wellness, a brand devoted to women\u2019s brain health. Following Bruce Willis\u2019s frontotemporal dementia diagnosis, Emma became a leading voice for care partners and families navigating neurodegenerative disease.
