In this episode of Still Becoming, Bobby shares a personal reflection on anxiety, uncertainty, and learning how to move forward even when fear is present. As he continues his running journey and experiments with a new, more patient approach to training, he finds himself facing an uncomfortable reality: growth often comes with doubt.

Despite experiencing some of the healthiest and most successful training of his life, anxiety continues to whisper questions and concerns. Is this working? Am I doing enough? Why does this feel so different? Bobby discusses how those thoughts can become overwhelming if left unchecked, especially when pursuing meaningful goals.

Rather than trying to eliminate anxiety completely, he explores a different approach: accepting that anxiety is a normal part of being human. Whether it’s before a race, a big opportunity, or an important life decision, feeling nervous doesn’t mean something is wrong. The key is learning not to let those fears take control.

Drawing from recent training experiences and lessons learned through years of running, Bobby explains how recovery, patience, and self-awareness have helped him recognize when anxiety is speaking louder than reality. He encourages listeners to acknowledge their fears, but not surrender their decisions to them.

This episode is a reminder that anxiety may ride along on the journey, but it doesn’t get to hold the map. You are still the one driving. Keep moving forward, trust yourself, and remember: you’re still becoming.
