It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a superwoman!

This motivational book for women bucks the system and calls on readers to shed the pressure of perfection, fight the patriarchy, and more through . . .

  • Witty letters showcasing the pressures of being "Ms. Perfect,"
  • Chapters examining each of the roles women take on,
  • Crucial reminders that feminism is for everyone, and
  • Permission and encouragement to be a disruptor.


You don't need to be perfect—you need to be YOU! Hello Ms. Perfect says goodbye to the burden that society, patriarchy, and even ourselves place on womanhood.

"Reading Hello Ms. Perfect is like having a get real talk with your closest girlfriend. Not the girlfriend who agrees with you all the time, but the one who loves you enough to call you out when you are being mean to yourself or holding yourself back. Dr. Amelia Reigstad gives us the permission we never knew we needed to challenge the concept of perfection and to stop moving the goalposts on worthiness. We are born to shine in all our perfect imperfections, and Dr. Reigstad humorously, vulnerably, and courageously asks us to take her hand and start our own journey of asking why and for whom we hold ourselves to unattainable expectations. With each page turn, I could feel sighs of relief as societal BS started to fall from my shoulders, allowing me to stand taller." — Hilary Bilbrey, speaker, author, and cofounder of PEQ Performance Consulting, LLC

"Dr. Amelia Reigstad offers a compelling exploration of the societal pressures that define and confine our understanding of perfectionism. Her profound insights are relatable, making it easy to see how these societal constraints affect us all, often without conscious awareness. Her self-reflection throughout the book prompted me to examine my beliefs about perfectionism, and I found myself considering the standards I've outgrown and recognizing those I still grapple with.What I appreciate most about Hello Ms. Perfect is its relevance and accessibility. This book is a good resource for any woman striving to break free from the chains of perfectionism and reclaim her authentic identity. It's a journey of self-discovery that I recommend to any woman looking to grow and evolve beyond societal expectations." — Kelli Williams, chief executive officer of The BrandLab
