“My junior year [of college], I was struggling with anxiety attacks, and [in] my senior year I had a major depressive episode,” says Caralena Peterson. The reason? “It's essentially this expectation that you're supposed to have the perfect grades, perfect body, perfect future plans, perfect everything,” she explains, “but of course, it doesn't take any visible effort.”  Peterson, knows this struggle is real for so many young college-aged women. At her alma mater, Duke University, the term “effortless perfection” was coined to describe the struggle that leads to these experiences.  Peterson decided this was such an important topic that she authored the new book, The Effortless Perfection Myth.   Peterson went on to research effortless perfection and interview countless young adults, pouring all of her findings into her new book. Listen to her conversation with CoveyClub founder Lesley Jane Seymour to understand how this race with perfection is causing a heartbreaking mental and emotional health struggle in our younger generations and how your daughter/niece/friend might be hiding it. Pass this conversation on to your peers, your daughters, your granddaughters, your sisters, and help end the effortless perfection cycle.

She graduated from Duke University in 2015 with majors in Women's Studies and Public Policy. She has published articles with Inside Higher Ed, The Week, She Knows Media, Ms. Magazine, Rewire News, Bustle, Garnet News, Women's E-News, and Elite Daily.

Caralena Peterson is the author of The Effortless Perfection Myth (September 2022) about the gender issues today's women run into in college. She graduated from Duke University in 2015 with majors in Women's Studies and Public Policy. She has published articles with Inside Higher Ed, The Week, She Knows Media, Ms. Magazine, Rewire News, Bustle, Garnet News, Women's E-News and Elite Daily. She is also a mixed-medium artist whose work has appeared in The New York Times and Washington Life Magazine. "While experiencing the harmful and overwhelming effects of Effortless Perfection firsthand during college, Caralena added Women's Studies as a second major to get to the bottom of it all and started writing honestly about her experiences in a column for the student newspaper. After graduating from Duke University in 2015, she set out to educate as many college women and their parents as possible about what she uncovered and the importance of sharing our authentic selves with the world. Today she writes regularly on the topic and travels to high schools and colleges throughout the nation to speak about Effortless Perfection, mental health, hook-up culture, and disordered eating. Caralena is also a mixed-medium artist whose work has appeared in The New York Times and Washington Life Magazine. When she is not busy with all her side hustles, Caralena works full-time as an English teacher in New Orleans, Louisiana (though she will be stepping back the 2022-2023 school year to promote her book)." "Most women don't go off to college expecting a major drop in confidence; they're getting ready to have the best four years of their life. But the reality is that women leave college with less self-esteem than they came in with and are two times more likely to experience depression than their male counterparts. So, where is the disconnect happening? Drawing from a plethora of data and her own personal experience, Effortless Perfection expert Caralena Peterson shows us just how immense the Myth's impact can be and why women need to start talking about the ways it disadvantages them instead of hiding behind secrecy and comparison. Full of authentic reflection and heart, this talk invites undergraduate women to take an honest look at their state of mental health and learn ways to move into healing and empowerment." "We must show enough of our own vulnerabilities that others don't feel the need to hide their own," says Caralena. Caralena does just that. She notes that The Effortless Perfection Myth keeps us in isolation, and the feminist movement started because people started sharing their struggles. The Myth is a mental health and a gender issue that Caralena is helping us to combat. Caralena shares advice for women and their parents to help them appreciate the difference between pursuing an image and developing an identity, and learn how to pursue internal appreciation and love, as opposed to outside validation.

Much of the hype around crowdfunding has frustratingly proved to be so much hot air. The United Nations Global Compact and the U.S. State Department are working to change that by bringing crowdfunding forward to finance projects in the developing world, especially projects designed to address the social problems endemic there. U.S.-based crowdfunding site Gate Global Impact is partnering with the UN Global Compact to launch Gateway 2.0, a site that will allow members of the UN Global Compact’s Social Enterprise Hub to access capital of from $500,000 to $10 million. Rosedel Davies-Adewebi, project manager for social enterprise and impact investing at the UN Global Compact, explained that through this innovative partnership the UN Global Compact hopes to advance this form of equity crowdfunding as a new approach to impact investing, addressing gaps in the missing middle of finance and connect capital to impactful businesses addressing critical areas related to the UN-Post 2015 agenda. Similarly, the U.S. State Department will soon launch a partnership with the crowdfunding site RocketHub to accelerate social impact projects from 60 countries around the world.

More about the UN Global Compact: The UN Global Compact is a strategic policy initiative for businesses that are committed to aligning their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. Endorsed by chief executives, the Global Compact is a practical framework for the development, implementation, and disclosure of sustainability policies and practices, offering participants a wide spectrum of workstreams, management tools and resources — all designed to help advance sustainable business models and markets. To further promote the advancement of sustainable business models, the UN Global Compact has launched a workstream focused on the concepts of Social Enterprise and Impact investing. The aim of the workstream is to build an enabling environment for corporations within the Global Compact, investors and social enterprises that will facilitate the formation of partnerships designed to advance innovations addressing development challenges.
