Women Veterans PTSD Meetup Huntsville

Beginning January 13, 2025, Invisible Warriors will begin holding in-person meetups in Huntsville for women veterans with PTSD, MST, and other invisible illnesses. This is an opportunity for our women veterans in the greater Huntsville area to meet each other and just talk. It can be hard to walk this path alone. Being able to come together to share stories, build camaraderie, offer support, and encourage each other can make the journey less lonely.

The meetups wlll be held in a private room at 11:00 am at the Clayton E Moneymaker American Legion Post 237 which is located at 2900 Drake Avenue, Huntsville, Alabama 35805 (at the corner of Chasewood Dr. and Drake Ave). Enter from the back of the building for privacy. There is no cost for this meetup although food and drink are available for purchase from the American Legion.

These women veterans PTSD meetups will be monthly and facilitated by a kind and caring woman.

2025 Silent No More Gala

a Celebration of Hope and Caring

On June 14, 2025, 5:00 – 7:30 at the Holiday Inn Research Park,
join Invisible Warriors and help us give women veterans a voice.

The Silent No More Gala will be raising funds for MST retreats, creating safe spaces for healing and connection. With your support, we can stand with women veterans facing PTSD, MST, and other invisible wounds.

We have great keynote speakers lined up as well as the Twickenham Jazz Band to perform for us all through the evening. Plus there will be a silent auction with amazing gifts to bid on and yummy hors d’oeuvres to snack on.

Dignitaries will also be on hand to issue a new proclamation honoring Women Veterans Recognition Day, making Alabama the 21st state to recognize the 1948 Women’s Armed Services Integration Act.

Women Veterans Recognition Day, observed annually on June 12, honors the contributions of female veterans, often seen as “Invisible Warriors.” Alabama’s proclamation highlights their unique challenges and achievements, ensuring they receive the respect and support they deserve. This recognition fosters community appreciation for the dedication of women who served in the military.

Art Contest 2024

What does life look like living with an ongoing invisible illness?
Each year, Invisible Warriors runs an Art Contest fundraiser. By participating, you provide hope and help for women with autoimmune disorders, ongoing illnesses, and invisible disabilities, especially women veterans suffering from MST and PTSD.

We invite you to submit your artwork and donation to support Invisible Warriors to help meet their needs – physical, mental, and emotional – so they can thrive, not just survive.
Here’s how the contest works
Take pictures or create art of “real life”—people living every day with some chronic illness—and submit it with a $25 donation to Invisible Warriors. Photos, drawings, and paintings are all accepted. (NOTE: you’ll need to submit a photo of any drawings/paintings.)
For more information or to submit a photo or your artwork
Click the Go To Art Contest button below and follow the instructions on the website about how to create your contest page. Then invite people to vote for your entry by sharing your new page. Each vote is only $1. The top twelve winning submissions will be featured on a custom 2025 calendar, our website, and our social media.

Come to the Table with Dr. Ann Hester, MD

You are warmly invited to join our regular event, Come to the Table, on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, at 12:00 ET/11:00 CT. This peer support group is part of the Invisible Warriors Club where women feel loved and supported, valuable and worthwhile. All women are welcome.

Special guests, discussions, and training about ongoing invisible illnesses and autoimmune disorders provide a sense of not being alone. At Come to the Table, we talk about all things life and invisible illnesses, but in a kind and uplifting way – never moaning and groaning.

This month we have as our special guest, Dr. Ann Hester, MD, Internal Medicine Specialist with 30+ years in practice. Dr. Hester’s passion is patient empowerment. For over two decade, she has worked diligently to educate healthcare consumers on powerful, easy-to-understand methods to optimize their health (and their health care) and lower their medical bills. Dr. Hester is also the author of Patient Empowerment 101. (Learn more HERE.)

Dr. Hester is also a syndicated columnist as part of the Price of Business Digital Network. Patient empowerment is her theme, of course. “What else could it be? Few things in life are as motivating and satisfying as empowering people to live stronger, longer lives,” says Dr. Hester in her LinkedIn profile. (Follow her on LinkedIn HERE.)

Topics for this Come to the Table include:

  • how to better prepare for upcoming doctor visits
  • optimize doctor-patient communication to optimize your care and save money
  • how to be “respectfully assertive”
  • the importance of having a health advocate

Come to the Table online with Invisible Warriors founder Nancy Becher and Dr. Hester on Wednesday, May 15th by clicking HERE to join the Zoom at 12:00 ET/11:00 CT.

“A Day in the Life of an Invisible Warrior Arts” Contest 2023

Throughout the fall in 2023, friends of Invisible Warriors participated in our annual Arts Contest fundraiser by submitting a picture, poetry or an original composition for our theme, “A Day in the Life of an Invisible Warrior.” We would like to thank everyone who submitted an entry. Your support was much appreciated and your stories moved us.

Thank you to Julie Kozee’s mom who submitted an entry in honor of her Invisible Warrior daughter. Her picture of the lowering clouds over the hillside visualizes an Invisible Warrior’s day, beauty and change at the same time. We love the strength of her family supporting each other!

Big thanks to Elizabeth Pongo for her generous support and submission to the Arts Contest. She shared her thoughts in her entry: “I’m a firm supporter of healing in any way, shape or form. I also believe simple existence is an art, and very challenging at the same time. Nature and animals along with cold water plunges help me on my healing journey.” Her beautiful photos are featured in the post.

Thank you again. We appreciate you!

Come to the Table December 2022

You are warmly invited to join our monthly event, Come to the Table, on Wednesday, December 21, 2022, at 12:00 ET/11:00 CT. Each month, you can join this peer support group where women feel loved and supported, valuable and worthwhile.

Special guests, discussions, and training on having chronic and autoimmune disorders provide a sense of not being alone. We talk about all things life and chronic, but in a kind and uplifting way — never moaning and groaning.

Special Guest

When you have an autoimmune disease or chronic illness, you try all kinds of things to feel better.

You may take medications, receive therapies, or even require surgery. All of these things are important BUT often do not address the root cause of our health issues.

One thing that is often overlooked when it comes to improving chronic health conditions is the role of diet. And even if you do take the time to consider diet, it can be very confusing.

In this month’s Come to the Table, Certified Nutritional Practitioner and Autoimmune Health Coach, Whitney Coupland will break down how diet helps us heal from chronic illness. She will also introduce a way of eating that has helped thousands of people turn their health around, despite having chronic health conditions.

Whitney Coupland is a Certified Nutritional Practitioner and Life Coach. In her online coaching practice, Whitney works with those who want to improve their health while still enjoying their life. You can connect with Whitney by booking a free consultation, or finding her on Instagram @WhitneyCoupland_. She also has a free course called EAT to HEAL. You can get access to it HERE.
