Episode 1003:
Fresh Starts – Tales of Resilience
Always Lead with Heart.
This episode of The Whitney Reynolds Show centers on the quiet strength it takes to begin again. Whether after loss, regret, or unexpected change, each guest shares a chapter marked not by what happened to them—but by what they chose to do next.
CREIGH RIEPE
We begin with Creigh Riepe, a former boy band singer whose journey through addiction, grief, and fatherhood led him back to music with a renewed sense of purpose. His story is a reminder that fresh starts often begin in the silence of surrender.
TOBY DORR
Then, Whitney welcomes Toby Dorr, whose story once made national headlines. After serving time for helping an inmate escape, she emerged as a voice for redemption and personal accountability. Now an author, speaker, and advocate, Toby is living proof that even from the lowest points, transformation is possible.
GREGORY POPOVICH
Rounding out the episode is the whimsical yet profound story of Gregory Popovich, a world-renowned circus performer whose Las Vegas stage isn’t just filled with acrobatics—it’s filled with rescued animals and second chances. His performance art reflects a life dedicated to reinvention, kindness, and joy.
GINNY & GEORGIA
And finally, we take a pop culture pause with a spotlight on the Netflix hit Ginny & Georgia, unpacking its cultural resonance and how this mother daughter team keeps going.
Fresh Starts is more than an episode title—it’s a soul-deep reminder that no matter where you’ve been, it’s never too late to turn the page and write something new.
This episode celebrates the courage it takes to begin again. From singer-songwriter Creigh Riepe’s journey through grief and recovery, to Toby Dorr’s path from scandal to redemption—each story shows that transformation is always possible. Even circus star Gregory Popovich reminds us that joy and second chances can come in the most unexpected forms. These fresh starts prove that no matter the past, hope has the final word.
