2025 WELLBEING WARRIOR WINNERS
NOVEMBER 2025 WELLBEING WARRIOR
BRITTNEY CHAMPAGNE
This November, we’re celebrating Brittney Champagne for her incredible dedication to health, resilience, and personal growth. Brittney’s journey began in September of last year when she was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome, a condition that initially left her with severe muscle weakness and even the inability to move her face. Since then, she’s committed to rebuilding her health from the ground up. Working closely with her doctor, Brittney focused on nutrition, monitoring deficiencies, and gradually regaining strength through physical therapy.
​
Her perseverance paid off—she not only returned to her favorite run/walk routine but completed the Wine and Dine 10K at Disney World, setting a personal record! Continuing her fitness journey, she recently joined a local Burn Bootcamp and is now training for her first Half Marathon in 2026. Along the way, Brittney has learned to truly listen to her body, saying, “When it’s tired, I need to stop; when it’s hungry, it’s important to fuel properly.” She has also celebrated 50 pounds lost without focusing solely on weight.
​
Beyond her physical accomplishments, Brittney embraces the movement and mindfulness resources offered by Serco Wellness, including meditation practices that help her stay grounded. She also highlights the support of her Serco Women’s Mentor, who has guided her gratitude journey: “My mentor has been an incredible influence, encouraging me to focus on what I can control and to celebrate progress during a season of change and uncertainty.”
​
Her story is a powerful reminder that resilience, consistency, and self-compassion are key to wellbeing. Congratulations, Brittney!
DECEMBER 2025 WELLBEING WARRIOR
MICHELLE CANTU
This December, we’re proud to celebrate Michelle Cantu for her incredible dedication to both financial and physical wellbeing, resilience, and personal growth. This year, Michelle focused on building long-term financial security while planning for her children’s future. She began her Certified Financial Planner (CFP) certification, applied professional strategies to her personal finances, and stayed disciplined through budgeting and intentional decision-making. Even starting midway through the year, she caught up on all retirement and investment contributions—adapting through challenges like the government shutdown, unexpected family changes, and community shifts. Michelle shares, “I learned to balance consistency with flexibility, giving myself rest when needed and trusting the structure I built to help me catch up.”
​
Michelle’s dedication extended to her physical health as well. Despite extreme heat and humidity in Okinawa and the responsibilities of parenting during her husband’s deployment, she maintained a consistent running routine. That commitment led to an unexpected but incredible milestone: signing up for and completing a half marathon just one week before the race. She recalls, “Even with the nerves at the starting line, I showed up, committed, and finished strong. Crossing that finish line with my kids cheering for me felt like a huge personal win and a reminder that I’m capable of more than I give myself credit for.”
​
Michelle credits her success to a combination of discipline, consistency, and smart use of tools—from tracking her runs and heart rate with her Apple Watch to leveraging financial apps and CFP materials for her financial planning. These resources, paired with her focus on mindfulness, nutrition, and hydration, helped her stay on track and maintain overall wellbeing.
​
Beyond her own achievements, Michelle has shared the strategies she’s learned with peers, friends, and family, helping others take steps toward financial independence and healthier habits. Her story is a shining example of how commitment, resilience, and intentional choices can create meaningful personal growth while inspiring those around us.
​
Congratulations, Michelle, on being our December Wellbeing Warrior!
