Some of the products we use daily contain hidden chemicals linked to hormone disruption, cancer, and other health concerns. And as women, we often use and are exposed to more of these toxins than others. In this blog post, we share simple swaps you can make to help reduce your toxin exposure and support your overall wellness.

Here's a sneak peek:

Plastic food containers ➡️ Swap for glass or stainless steel
Scented candles ➡️ Swap for beeswax or soy candles, or essential oil diffusers
Dry shampoo ➡️ Swap for cornstarch (for light colored hair) or cocoa powder (for darker colored hair), or benzene-free dry shampoo

Last month, we attended the Women Veterans Think Tank: Blueprint for Action Summit. It was an invigorating and inspiring event! Raquel Durden, co-founder and chairwoman of Humble Warrior Wellness & Yoga, Inc, participated and also served as a facilitator for the summit. Thank you, Terrill Hill-McFarland, for the invitation and opportunity to attend and support!

The summit brought together women veterans, corporate leaders, veteran-serving organizations, healthcare providers, and policymakers to discuss a strategy for improving outcomes for women veterans in Georgia and to create a model that can be replicated nationwide. Thank you to the The Warrior Alliance for organizing this pioneering event.

Some recipes are simply too good (and too easy!) to not share. Warrior Fuel is adapted from Humble Warrior Wellness & Yoga, Inc supporter Cindy, whose legendary “Cindy’s Sinful Homemade Granola” has earned a reputation for disappearing fast at gatherings. We gave it a wellness-inspired rename because, while it tastes delightfully indulgent, it’s also packed with nourishing ingredients that help fuel busy days, road trips, summer hikes, lake mornings, and mindful pauses on the porch.

Raquel Durden, co-founder and chairwoman of Humble Warrior Wellness & Yoga, Inc, recently walked the Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage route in Spain. Of the experience, Raquel said, "Long walks can offer enlightenment and transformation. I’ve always believed that an arduous trail or long walk is less about arriving and more about becoming. Long walks cast a light of awareness on your life. After many miles, you will easily notice patterns, especially what you’re carrying that no longer belongs."

Thank you for an amazing Rooted & Rising: Newcomers Wellness Retreat! 😊

One month ago, Humble Warrior Wellness & Yoga, Inc welcomed thirteen women veterans, firefighters, and law enforcement professionals to Rooted & Rising at The Third Place in Atlanta. This was a wonderful day of connection, reflection, and holistic wellness for newcomers to Humble Warrior.

Participants paused from the demands of service and everyday life to nourish their minds, bodies, and spirits through yoga, breathwork, guided journaling, meaningful conversation, and a delicious plant-based meal prepared by professional Chef Shai. Some lucky women even took home tasty leftovers!

A special thank you to Shai and Karen Lavi of The Third Place for hosting and Army veteran Bill Beverly from The Spoon nonprofit for connecting us. We are grateful to every woman who attended and contributed to such a supportive and inspiring experience. We encourage everyone to weave wellness practices into their life.

Together, we paused. Connected. Reflected. And rose!

If you can't make it to the Unhurried Living retreat (or even if you can!), join our Annual Gratitude Walk on October 17. 🤗👟 We will celebrate the season of gratitude with an inspiring walk, reflection, and community connection. It will take place in Georgia; exact location to be announced.

Is there a "natural" Ozempic?

Prescription GLP-1 medications like Ozempic have grown popular in recent years. Raquel Durden, co-founder and chairwoman of Humble Warrior Wellness & Yoga, Inc, has received inquiries about GLP-1s. It seems that people want to know if there a holistic approach to getting the same effects as the medication. Raquel did a search and wants to share some findings and holistic wellness strategies for you to explore to naturally support your well-being.
