I want to share something with you that I can’t stop thinking about—one of the most honest, eye-opening, and empowering conversations I’ve had on The Beauty Shift podcast.
This week, I sat down with Emma Heming-Willis and Helen Christoni—two women whose personal stories and purpose-driven mission deeply touched my heart.
✨ Emma Heming-Willis is an actress, model, entrepreneur, and caregiver advocate who has bravely shared her family’s journey after her husband, Bruce Willis, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. She’s now using her voice to support other caregivers who feel lost, overwhelmed, and unseen.
✨ Helen Christoni is a wellness expert and product formulator with decades of experience in the health industry. She’s helped develop some of the most recognizable wellness brands—and now she’s pouring that knowledge into something deeply personal and powerful.
Together, Emma and Helen founded Make Time Wellness, a movement and a brand committed to helping women prioritize their brain, body, and beauty—because they know firsthand that when we don’t make time for ourselves, everything starts to break down.
In our conversation, they opened up about:
The silent burnout so many women face—and how it’s linked to brain health
Why 1 in 5 women are at risk of Alzheimer’s and what we can do about it
The truth about caregiving, and the grief of navigating it alone
How they created a simple daily wellness ritual to help women stop pouring from empty cups
This episode is more than a conversation—it’s a wake-up call, a hug, and a powerful reminder that you matter, too.
You don’t have to keep carrying the world on your shoulders.You don’t have to keep putting yourself last.And you are not failing for feeling tired or needing help.
You are human.You are strong.And you deserve care, too.
