On this bonus episode of Find Your Dream Job, Catherine Van shares how she transitioned from her childhood dream of being a broadcast journalist to becoming a DEIB leader at the Oregon Community Foundation, Oregon's largest private charitable funder. When the nonstop news cycle took a toll, she pivoted into nonprofit and corporate communications, bringing her commitment to storytelling and social justice.
Years later, after returning from maternity leave at another organization, Catherine faced an unexpected layoff. By leaning on her network and reframing her skills, she found her way into equity work. Catherine talks about the psychological toll of rejection, the power of reframing your skills for a new context, and why the job search is never a solo sport.
