This is a special episode, recorded live at the Mind Over Cyber Networking Breakfast and Mindfulness Workshop at RSA Conference 2024. George A was called away for CISO things, but I had a chance to sit down with three guests who wanted to share their stories of resilience: challenges to their mental wellbeing and also the strategies and frameworks they use on the regular to navigate those challenges.

You are not alone. Our hope in sharing these stories is to help others understand many of your peers are going through the same stuff, but more importantly, share the ways they’ve learned to work with and through stress rather than try to block it all out or push it away.

I spoke with Allan Alford, Kade Hennings, and Amanda Berlin. We're grateful for their time.

WARNING: There is a mention of suicide in my last conversation, with Amanda. It’s in the general, abstract sense, nothing specific or graphic, but a warning all the same.
