In this bonus VO Pro Podcast episode, I sit down with psychologist and procrastination coach Dr. Christine Li — and we dive headfirst into the mindset traps holding voice actors back from building the business (and life) they want.
Christine breaks down why imposter syndrome actually means you’re leveling up, how perfectionism masks itself as “professionalism,” and why the clutter in your space is tied to the chaos in your head. We talk fear, resistance, overthinking, and what it really takes to create momentum when everything inside you says, “I’m not ready yet.”
If you’ve ever said...
- “I’m not good enough yet”
- “My demo’s not perfect”
- “I need one more class before I market myself”
…this is your permission slip to shut that voice up and take action anyway.
Listen now and learn how to rewire the stories in your head, release the pressure to be perfect, and start showing up like the working pro you already are.

Still wondering why you’re not booking more, even though your voice is solid?
It’s not your talent holding you back. It’s your lack of strategy.
The voice actors who book on repeat aren’t better than you. They’re just more visible, more trusted, and running better systems.
That’s exactly what I’ll teach you in Booked By Design, a free 3-part training series starting October 9.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
