In this deeply personal episode of Impossible Dreams, host Aaron Lazar
sits down with Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor for an intimate
conversation about resilience, relationships, and finding your way back to
what matters most.
Ben and Christine open up about their journey through separation and
reconciliation, the challenges of balancing demanding careers with family
life, and how personal growth sometimes requires taking space to
evolve.
From their excitingly quick romance to navigating the pressures of
Hollywood while raising two kids, they share hard-won wisdom about
communication, self-awareness, and the practice of staying present. Aaron
connects with Ben and Christine through their shared involvement with
Project ALS—the groundbreaking research organization co-founded by
Jennifer Estess after her 1997 diagnosis. Ben reflects on 25+ years of
friendship with Jennifer and the organization's mission, while Aaron
expands on his ALS journey and unconventional healing
approach.
Together, they explore themes of hope in the face of devastating
diagnoses, the limitations of Western medicine, and the power of community
and love. From Ben's work on the documentary about his legendary parents
(Anne Meara and Jerry Stiller) to Christine's reflections on prayer and
meditation, this conversation weaves together Hollywood stories with
profound spiritual insights.
