Sobriety Hacks! Unleashing the Power of Incremental Change, Jen VanAntwerp talk at ShmooCon 2024

As cybersecurity practitioners, ethical hackers, and everything in between, you know the importance of making incremental changes to improve performance and mitigate risks. But did you know that the same approach can be used to transform your personal life? Whether you’re struggling with addiction or simply looking to improve your health, incorporating small yet significant changes in your daily routine can make all the difference.

Through 23 years of hard-fought sobriety, I’ve learned about the power of incremental change. In this session, I’ll share the tips and tricks that have helped me maintain a sober (and FUN!) lifestyle. From setting achievable goals to building a robust support system, I’ll provide you with practical tools you can use to embark on your own journey of health.

But let’s be clear: sobriety doesn’t have to be scary or shameful. On the contrary, it can be an empowering and liberating experience. By caring for our bodies and minds, we can unlock our full potential as cybersecurity professionals and human beings. So whether you’re sober-curious or just want to know how to make your work events more inclusive for non-drinkers, join me for this session and discover the joys of incremental change.
