#002 Unlocking the Healing of ALS with Aaron Lazar

What if healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken — but remembering who you really are?

Aaron Lazar is a celebrated Broadway actor, a father, a fighter, and a man in the middle of radical personal transformation. Diagnosed with ALS, Aaron now finds himself walking a path that demands more than physical strength — it calls for spiritual clarity, emotional courage, and a new kind of presence.

In this episode, he sits down with longtime friend and host Topaz Adizes for one of the rawest, most soul-opening conversations ever captured on GUTS.

Together, they unpack:

• How chasing success can disconnect you from yourself

• Why love from sympathy isn’t the same as love from love

• What it means to rehearse the energy you want to live in

• How joy and imagination are essential tools for healing

• The real difference between pushing through and showing up fully

This isn’t just a story of illness. It’s a story of rebirth.

It’s about shifting your inner script, one distinction at a time — and showing up, over and over, with more love than before.

These conversations are not performative interviews, book release tours or productivity hacks. 

Genuine curiosity is the compass for these honest, human-to-human exchanges of stories. We explore how people are formed by the lives they’ve lived and celebrate the wisdom gained along the way.
