    Fighting Back To My Feet

    In this episode of The Rise of Dragons Podcast, Bobby talks about the ongoing struggle to get back into his YouTube routine after dealing with some recent mental health challenges. He opens up about taking things one step at a time, the importance of looking after yourself, and why it’s okay to slow down when you need to. Bobby also catches up on what’s been happening across the channel, including the Bloodborne No Blood Vial Run, where he battled his way into Old Yharnam and finally took down Old Hunter Djura. He also talks about the latest Bobby’s Gaming Lounge streams, including the GTA V Humane Labs Raid with Christian, Zack, and VaporishTitan, a Roblox session with Abbie and Chase, and a Resident Evil 3 Remake speedrun where the rocket launcher proved far more useful than planned. Finally, Bobby dives into his first Resident Evil Requiem livestream, exploring the Wrenwood Hotel and part of Rhodes Hill as Grace, facing the terrifying Marie, and finally meeting up with Leon. Most importantly, this episode is a reminder to pay attention to your mental health, take care of yourself, and know when you need to step back and breathe. #RiseOfDragons #Podcast #GamingPodcast #Bloodborne #ResidentEvilRequiem #ResidentEvil3 #GTAV #Roblox #MentalHealth #Gaming Intro song: Premiere by ANBR @artlist.lo Outro song: The Last Hero by Veacelav Draganov @artlist.lo Robert's Linktree: www.linktr.ee/BobbysWorld2110 Robert's author website: robertblanchardbooks.com Podcast website: riseofdragonspodcast.com Follow Robert on Twitter or Instagram @BobbysWorld2110 Robert's YouTube channel: BobbysWorld2110

    Mental Health Break

    In this episode of the Rise of Dragons Podcast, Bobby opens up about something deeply personal—taking a step back to prioritize his mental health after burnout began catching up with him. He shares why he took a short break from creating content, the importance of recognizing when it's time to recharge, and the changes he's making to maintain a healthier balance moving forward. On the writing side of the podcast, Bobby discusses his approach to creating strong female characters, explaining why the best-written women in fiction are simply strong, well-developed people who happen to be female. Using characters like Lady Mirabelle, Lady Kirra, and Narissara from The Roar of a Dragon Trilogy, he explores authenticity, perseverance, and avoiding common storytelling pitfalls. He also provides updates on:  The Bloodborne No Blood Vial Run and the move to Monday livestreams  The latest Your Father's Story episode and some memorable parenting stories  The recent GTA V Heists livestream with Christian and friends  Upcoming content plans for the channel and podcast Bobby closes the episode by thanking listeners for their incredible support, reflecting on the podcast's continued growth, and reminding everyone that while consistency matters, taking care of your mental health matters even more. Thank you for listening, and as always—be well, stay safe, and keep rising.
