Unlocking the Healing of ALS: Facing Fear & Finding Joy with Aaron Lazar

What happens when the body breaks down but the spirit refuses to follow? In this episode of GUTS, host Topaz Adizes sits down with Aaron Lazar, Broadway star, actor, and division one athlete, who was diagnosed with ALS and chose to face it not with force or fear, but with radical joy and presence. Through stories from his career, his recovery, and his daily 20 foot walks between a wheelchair and a chair, Aaron reveals what it really means to show up for yourself from a place of love instead of will. In this episode, we explore: - Growing up with a Jewish mother who taught him the power of a handwritten note - Navigating hundreds of rejections in Hollywood while losing his heart for the craft - What ALS forced him to confront about patterns, energy and self-abandonment - The difference between hammering through life and moving from joy - How shifting your inner state changes your physical reality - What it means to find magic in washing your own hands Listen to GUTS: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1GSiahH3NYTiFKZ4mIGQnJ?si=fce013635cfa4947 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-under-the-skin/id1821276933 Follow GUTS: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/guts.podcast/ LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/topazadizes/ Subscribe for updates: topazadizes.com #gutspodcast #aaronlazar #topazadizes #ALSawareness #healingjourney #mindsetshift #radicalacceptance #purposedriven #deepconversationpodcast #joyandfear #selfhealing #presenceoverperformance #Broadway #neuraldisease #unlockinghealing Learn more about your ad choices.
