   D.J. is heading into their freshman year in College with big goals: grow as a basketball player, earn a meaningful degree, play professionally overseas, and build a life where money creates freedom instead of stress. In this coaching conversation, Dr. Rees helps D.J. turn those goals into a practical money plan using the Your Confident Life framework.

   MVP: Dequiante Brown

   In this episode, we sit down with Dequiante Brown, a registered nurse, actor, and content creator whose story is rooted in resilience, faith, and full-spectrum self-expression. Born in Houma, Louisiana, and the youngest of five, Dequiante shares the journey from being an all-star athlete at Grambling State University (where they earned a Mass Communication degree in PR) to later stepping into nursing, and what it took to hold onto creativity through pressure, burnout, and major life transitions. We talk about living boldly and honestly, navigating identity and belief, and why joy, peace, and happiness aren’t things you chase; they’re often the byproduct of how you feel about yourself. Dequiante also gives a look into what’s next: a book in progress, a one-person show, and a short film releasing soon. If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you are and who people expect you to be, this conversation will feel like a deep breath and a push forward. In this episode, you’ll hear about: Turning burnout into a bridge back to purpose and creativity. Building confidence when the world has opinions about your life. Faith, identity, and choosing to live fully. Why your relationship with yourself (and with God) sets the tone for everything. What Dequiante is creating next and the message behind it

   Ep.1 | You are a Commodity

   You are not an accident: you were born on purpose, with a purpose. In the first episode of You Are the Bag, formerly known as Practice, Dr. Rees explains why you are a commodity and what changes when you recognize the value you carry. Through a personal story about an injury before playing professional basketball overseas, Dr. Rees explores how your gifts, skills, character, and energy can solve problems and create value for others. You’ll learn why believing you are worthy is essential, how to challenge beliefs that diminish your confidence, and why investing in your growth can expand both your impact and your income. This episode will challenge you to identify the qualities that make you a rare commodity, choose two skills you want to master, and begin turning your purpose into meaningful service and profit. Remember: When you get better, your bag gets bigger. 00:00 — Welcome to You Are the Bag Dr. Rees introduces the newly renamed show and its mission to help you develop the mindsets, habits, and skills needed to live with mental, emotional, and financial confidence. 01:43 — A mission to end generational insecurity Why insecurity prevents people from realizing their potential, making an impact, and becoming who they were created to be. 03:15 — You are a commodity The central idea of the episode—and why knowing you are the bag should change how you see yourself. 03:49 — The injury that changed Dr. Rees’s perspective A story about getting injured before playing professional basketball overseas and hearing the words, “You have to be careful because you’re a commodity.” 06:59 — Investing in your personal economy How developing your internal gifts and talents increases the value you can contribute to the external economy. 11:03 — Your character and energy have value Patience, peace, empathy, confidence, and positive energy can all be rare commodities that make people want to work with and be around you. 15:49 — Value creates convenience for others Your purpose and gifts are connected to solving problems and turning someone else’s inconvenience into a solution. 20:00 — You don’t have to impact everybody Stop allowing someone else’s work to convince you that your contribution is unnecessary. You only need to reach “all of your somebodies.” 24:51 — The mindset: I am worthy Why recognizing your worth is the foundation for identifying, developing, and sharing the value within you. 29:31 — Challenge your discomfort with worthiness If saying “I am worthy, I am the bag, and I am a commodity” feels uncomfortable, that reaction can reveal where deeper work needs to begin. 31:11 — Don’t waste the fruits of your labor A powerful lesson about sowing seeds, receiving the benefits of your work, and believing you are worthy enough to enjoy what you’ve cultivated. 40:39 — The habit: Interrogate opposing beliefs Question beliefs and environments that tell you that you’re unworthy, unqualified, or out of place. 45:17 — The skill: Take action where you want to grow Choose the areas where you want to increase your expertise, impact, and earning potential—and consistently practice them. 47:03 — Identify two skills you want to master A practical exercise for connecting your passions and gifts to the abilities you need to develop. 50:26 — Turn a profit on your token Make a list of your skills, determine how they can create value, and explore how they could generate income. 51:05 — Join the confidence coaching community Ways to receive coaching, ask questions, and continue developing your mental, emotional, and financial confidence.
