An Idea To Move You

Imposter syndrome never goes away. Nor should it. See below.

A Thought to Touch You*

"[Imposter syndrome] is a sign that you're actually rising. That when you get the sense that I'm in the wrong place, somebody has chosen me with the wrong framework and a big mistake has been made, it is likely that you have done actually really well and you've risen to a different level or status in your organization or with your profession or with your skills."

A Quote to Inspire You

“You think, 'Why would anyone want to see me again in a movie? And I don’t know how to act anyway, so why am I doing this?'”
~ Meryl Streep

*This Week's Thought...

No new video this week as I had planned to be in London for One Voice UK (but got Covid instead) ...is a quote from Psychologist and Procrastination Coach, Dr. Christine Li in this week's audio podcast BONUS Episode: Procrastination. Perfectionism. Imposter syndrome. Yeah… we’re going there.

In this bonus VO Pro Podcast episode, I sit down with Dr. Li — and we dive headfirst into the mindset traps holding voice actors back from building the business (and life) they want.

Dr. Li 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.
