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.Download Dr. Li’s free clutter-clearing guide: maketimeforsuccesspodcast.com/clutterFind Dr. Li:Website: https://www.procrastinationcoach.comFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/procrastinationcoachInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/procrastinationcoach/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@procrastinationcoach_____________________________SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@vo-pro?sub_confirmation=1The VO Freedom Master Plan: https://vopro.pro/vo-freedom-master-planThe VO Pro Community: https://vopro.app Use code You15Tube for 15% off of your membership for life.7 Steps to Starting and Developing a Career in Voiceover: https://welcome.vopro.pro/7-steps-ytMove Touch Inspire Newsletter for Voice Actors: https://vopro.pro/move-touch-inspire-youtubeFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/vofreedomThe VO Send us a textI have a free 3-part master class series coming up called The Rise of the Self-Made Voice Actor, where’ I’ll show you:🔹 How to find real voiceover clients (the ones actually hiring)🔹 What separates booked talent from the ones stuck refreshing their inbox🔹 And how to build a sustainable, not just lucky, VO businesshttps://training.vopro.pro/ll-registration-2025-05/ Here’s what you’ll walk away with in our upcoming master class series:How to reverse-engineer your VO marketing around client psychologyA proven outreach strategy that doesn’t rely on agents or pay-to-playsThe marketing infrastructure you need to growhttps://training.vopro.pro/ll-registration-2025-05/ If you’re spinning your wheels with the same “post and pray” marketing advice, this free master class series is your reset button. ✅ 3 live masterclasses✅ Step-by-step client-getting systems✅ Built for working voice actors — not hobbyistsJoin us and start marketing with strategy, not guesswork.https://training.vopro.pro/ll-registration-2025-05/Support the show
