In this episode of YOUvsYOU, Lex sits down with growth mindset coach, author, and former professional basketball player Derick Grant for a powerful conversation about identity, self-worth, and the invisible beliefs shaping your reality.
From losing everything in 2019 to rebuilding his life from the inside out, Derick shares how adversity became his greatest teacher. Together, they unpack the real question beneath achievement:
“Am I good enough just as I am?”
This episode explores:
Why your reality is a mirror of your beliefs
The hidden self-worth wound driving high performers
Scarcity vs. true abundance
Why we don’t actually want the car or the house — we want who we’d have to become
How adversity builds you instead of breaks you
The power of presence and patience
Trust as the ultimate tool in your YOU vs YOU battle
Derick breaks down how trauma, culture, and generational belief systems silently shape our behavior and how awareness is the first step to freedom.
It’s YOU vs YOU.
