In this powerful episode of the Conviction Fiction Podcast, we tackle one of the most damaging but often unspoken barriers to healthy relationships: the ownership attitude. This mindset—believing people belong to us or should move according to our expectations—creates emotional chaos, fuels insecurity, and leads to controlling behaviors that hurt everyone involved.

We explore how control shows up across gender, culture, and identity, including LGBTQ+ relationships, and how domestic violence often begins long before physical harm ever appears. Through personal reflections and real-world insights, we break down why control feels like safety, why it never truly is, and how to step into a healthier way of loving.

If you're ready to confront your patterns, release the need to manage others, and build relationships based on freedom—not fear—this episode is your call to action.

In this powerful episode, we unpack one of the most common—but least talked about—barriers to personal transformation: the lack of interest in responsible performance.

Why do so many returning citizens, people in recovery, and individuals overcoming trauma struggle with responsibility? Why does consistency feel impossible? Why does accountability sting so deeply?

Antoine breaks it all down with honesty and lived experience:

• The hidden link between trauma and responsibility
• How addiction and survival mode train you to avoid structure
• Why accountability matters whether you stole $100 or $18 million
• What it really means to “step out of the box”
• Why courage—not perfection—is the foundation of change
• How responsible roles rebuild your identity, confidence, and future

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by responsibility, stuck in old patterns, or afraid to let go of the familiar, this episode offers clarity, tools, and hope.

Jonathan Todd Schwartz once stood at the top of Hollywood’s financial world, managing the fortunes of global icons like Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Alanis Morissette, Linkin Park, Halsey, and Gwyneth Paltrow. Known as the “diva whisperer,” he was one of the industry’s most trusted advisors—until addiction, deception, and a multi-million–dollar embezzlement scandal sent his life crashing into the headlines.

In this powerful Conviction Fiction Podcast interview, Jonathan sits down with host Antoine Rivers to walk through the rise, the unraveling, and the long journey back to accountability. This episode explores the hidden pressures behind success, the psychology of addiction, and what happens when denial turns into devastation.

But it also asks a deeper question:
Can someone who caused this much harm truly change?

From prison to sobriety to rebuilding the trust of his family, Jonathan’s story isn’t about excuses—it’s about facing the truth head-on. Raw, honest, and layered, this episode pulls back the curtain on a modern cautionary tale with real-world consequences.

If you’re drawn to stories of transformation, redemption, and the uncomfortable intersection of power and self-destruction—this conversation is one you won’t forget.
