In each chapter of this women empowerment book, Dr. Amelia Reigstad, PhD, seeks to change the narrative for women in the workplace, social situations, and the home. With wry humor, she celebrates living authentically and shedding the pressure of perfectionism.​​Societal and patriarchal expectations, and even self-induced pressure, for women are sky-high. In every setting, we face scrutiny. Are we setting our kids up for success? Being a team player at work? Taking care of the household? Being a good wife? Staying energized? Maintaining our figure?

With over two decades of leadership and communication experience, she enjoys sharing her expertise through keynote speaking, training programs, and workshops.

Hello Ms. Perfect leverages her expertise to say goodbye to the burden that society, patriarchy, and even ourselves place on womanhood.
