Intervention: What, When, and How? Tim Ryan & Jennifer Gimenez

Interventions aren’t what you see on TV—they’re raw, strategic, emotional turning points that can mean the difference between life and death.

In this episode of The Peak of Possibility Podcast, Glynis Franz sits down with two people who have lived—and led—some of the most intense moments in addiction recovery: Tim Ryan and Jennifer Gimenez.

Tim, a nationally recognized interventionist, and Jennifer, a recovery advocate, interventionist and former model and Celebrity Rehab cast member, bring unmatched perspective from both sides of addiction. Most recently, they helped facilitate the intervention that led Andy Dick into treatment—giving us a rare look into what it actually takes to break through when someone is deep in the chaos.

This conversation pulls back the curtain on:

• What a real intervention looks like (and why many fail)

• The emotional and psychological strategy behind getting someone to say yes

• How addiction plays differently in the public eye—and why celebrity status can make recovery harder, not easier

• The biggest mistakes families make when trying to help—and how to stop enabling without abandoning

• The truth about “rock bottom,” tough love, and when it’s time to step in

This isn’t surface-level recovery talk. It’s direct, honest, and grounded in real experience—from the front lines of addiction and healing.

If you’ve ever felt helpless watching someone spiral, this episode gives you clarity, direction, and a reminder that change is possible—when the right moment is created.
