I spoke with Emma Heming Willis about fronto temporal dementia, caregiving and raising a family in times of troubles. I highly recommend her book "The Unexpected Journey" to anyone who find themselves in a caregiving situation. The English version of the interview here 👇

Emma Heming Willis on her husband Bruce Willis's illness: 'Once I stopped being in denial, we've learned to just navigate the disease'

The actor learned he was suffering from a neurodegenerative disease at 67. Close to four years after the diagnosis, his wife describes how she coped with the illness and her new role as a caregiver.

Rendez-vous samedi à Venelles pour discuter climat, solutions et recette de cuisines !

Sinon, ce week-end à Venelles, c'est le Happy Festival, organisé par la mairie (et Dromadame). L'idée : plutôt que de déprimer dans son coin sur la planète qui crame, on se retrouve dans la convivialité entre gens qui font des choses sur le terrain. Spectacles, stands, conférences, jeux, etc.

Entre autres temps forts, on aura une conférence de @nabilwakim.bsky.social (le podcast "Chaleur Humaine", sur Le Monde). Et dans les temps moins forts, une chasse au trésor à tendance portenawako-motchusienne par mézigue. Programme complet ici : venelles.fr/event/happy_...
