What’s your favourite imposter syndrome meme?
An imposter syndrome meme roundup for heart-centred entrepreneurs
What did we do before memes came along??
I swear that numerous relationships of mine improved with the advent of memes. They are just so relatable and humorous. They can really open up the lines of communication…especially when dealing with challenging situations.
Imposter syndrome is one of those things that I think most of us can relate to. And it can feel soooooo heavy.
So with the help of my right-hand woman, Victoria, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite imposter syndrome memes to put a smile on your face, and paired them with some reflection questions because you know me…I can’t resist the chance to dig deeper!

I have a dry sense of humour so this one really hit that button for me.
I love that it highlights how all of us who struggle with imposter syndrome think it’s just us.

My questions for you:
Why do you think smart, successful people have self doubt?
What’s the purpose of self doubt?
How does self doubt serve smart, successful people?
How does self doubt serve you?

Okay, I never quite boarded the Game of Thrones train.
But I digress. This meme is cute and cheeky. And I love cute and cheeky.
It helps us see imposter syndrome as a thing we can work on, rather than identifying ourselves AS imposter syndrome
My questions for you:
What do you want to name your inner critic/imposter voice?
If you knew, deep in your bones, that imposter syndrome was just trying to protect you, what would you like to say to it?
What would it be like to develop a compassionate and understanding relationship to that part of yourself?

This imposter syndrome meme really normalizes the feelings, and helps you see that part of the reason you have imposter syndrome is because you’re awesome and you care.
It has me thinking about humility. Is imposter syndrome a distorted version of humility…humility gone wrong?
My question for you:
Which high achieving person do you want to have as your beacon of hope when it comes to imposter syndrome (ie. every time you find yourself with imposter syndrome, you remind yourself of this high achieving person whom you admire)?
List out a number of different high achieving people who were known to have imposter syndrome, such as Albert Einstein, Neil Armstrong, Michelle Obama, Maya Angelou, and more.
