| 6/25/26 | From Federal Prison to Hollywood Hills: How Glynis Franz Built an Elite Recovery Legacy | "We have to turn deep personal desperation into long-term purpose."In this powerful episode of Finding New Waters, host B. Reeves and CEO Justin McClendon sit down with Glynis Franz, the inspiring Co-Founder of Peak Path Health and host of The Peak of Possibility podcast. Glynis opens up about her raw, deeply moving journey through teenage heroin addiction, juvenile detention, and serving time in federal prison. After overcoming massive legal obstacles and personal trauma, Glynis completely transformed her life. Today, she channels her experiences into providing elite clinical support for high-functioning professionals and executives at her premier residential facility in the Hollywood Hills. In this conversation, Glynis dives deep into the specific challenges women face regarding trauma and shame in recovery, why authentic fellowship must come before standard institutional approaches, and how to build a community that helps individuals rediscover their true purpose.TIMESTAMPS[00:00] Episode Teaser & Intro[03:15] Growing up fast: Teenage addiction and juvenile detention[12:40] Hit rock bottom: Facing federal prison and legal battles[22:10] The turning point: Finding clarity and a path to true recovery[31:45] Overcoming the specific layers of trauma and shame faced by women[42:15] Co-founding Peak Path Health: Bringing clinical excellence to the Hollywood Hills[53:10] Treating high-functioning professionals, executives, and public figures[01:05:30] Why grassroots fellowship beats a clinical-only institutional approach[01:14:20] Turning past desperation into a powerful lifelong purposeLINKS & RESOURCES* Peak Path Health: peakpathhealth.com* Glynis’s Podcast: The Peak of Possibility https://www.youtube.com/@UC3hd2l7YKPwLZIUCnonhbRA CALL TO ACTIONIf Glynis’s story of resilience inspired you, please hit that subscribe button, drop a comment below, and share this video with someone who needs to hear that it's never too late to rebuild.
