In this solo episode, Antoine Rivers breaks down one of the most overlooked barriers to personal transformation: the belief that “doing a few good things makes me a good person.”

This mindset—common in the justice-impacted community—creates confusion, blocks accountability, and keeps people stuck in old patterns.
Antoine unpacks why isolated positive actions don’t erase harmful behavior, how self-image becomes a shield, and what it really takes to see yourself clearly enough to grow.

This episode dives deep into:

• Why “I’m a good person at heart” becomes a trap
• The difference between intentions and impact
• How to build a balanced, honest self-image
• Using discomfort as a tool for growth
• Shifting from justification to real accountability
• Practical steps for reconstructing your identity

If you’re committed to truth, change, and rewriting your story from the inside out—this one is for you.
