IT’S OFFICIAL! 🌊🎉

Her Resilient Sea is officially a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization!

What started as a vision to create safe, healing-centered spaces for women veterans is becoming something so much bigger.

We’re building a community where women veterans can reconnect with themselves, one another, and the ocean through surf therapy, sisterhood, and shared experiences.

To our board members, donors, community partners, and everyone who has believed in this mission from the beginning: THANK YOU. 🩷

This milestone is worth celebrating, but we’re just getting started!

✨ Mark your calendars: January 8, 2027.

Our official launch is coming, and we can’t wait to share what’s next.

Sisterhood. Self-Discovery. Stoke. 🌊

Our hats.

We are a fairly low-maintenance crew, honestly. We do not do a lot of self-branding, but we wanted every participant to leave Upper Canyon with something they could keep close long after their time here.
Our hats are mostly reserved for participants, plus one very lucky raffle winner and a few staff members for airport-pickup identification purposes.

They may be simple, but they mean a lot to us. There is something really special about seeing past participants wearing them on family vacations, at the gym, or catching a glimpse of one during a surprise FaceTime.

They are more than hats. They are little reminders of the people, horses, hard conversations, laughter, and healing that live here.

A huge thank you to @targetindicators for always taking such good care of our team.

“The ocean helped me learn how to ride the waves in the ocean and in life. The ocean reflected to me the parts of myself that I’d learned to disconnect from, including my feminine nature and childlike play.” @taylor_galadyk, U.S. Marine Corps Veteran and Founder of @herresilientsea, shares her experience post-military in discovering her love for surf post-military, connecting with other women veterans, and how these moments of healing shaped her, in her recent Substack “What Women Veterans Are Really Struggling With.” Read now, via the link in our bio.

W E | W A N T | Y O U // The mission doesn’t have to end when the uniform comes off. Sometimes, it just changes.

For me, the outdoors became part of that next mission.

It gave me a place to reconnect with service, community, shared hardship, and purpose—and eventually an opportunity to help other veterans discover some of those same things through stewardship, conservation, and advocacy for the public lands we all share.

I’ve come to call it Mission Therapy.

That’s a big part of why I said yes to serving as a Founding Ambassador for the inaugural Veterans Outdoor Recreation Summit.

From October 1–3 in Park City, Utah, veterans and leaders from across the outdoor community are coming together to build stronger pathways into outdoor recreation, stewardship, education, advocacy, community, and careers.

And you don’t need to already consider yourself an “outdoors person” to belong in that conversation.

If you’ve been watching this Summit from the sidelines, this is the week to make the decision.

Registration has been extended through Sunday, September 20.

Use my ambassador code CHAPPY for 15% off registration. And if cost has been the barrier, a limited number of scholarships are still available. Don’t count yourself out before exploring that option.

Come find some good people. Come explore what’s possible. Maybe even come find your next mission.

⛰️ Veterans Outdoor Recreation Summit (VORS)
🗓️ October 1–3 | Park City, Utah
⛏️ Code: CHAPPY — 15% off

I am so excited to be hosting a Full Moon Kundalini Yoga class with Reiki Savasana at @bodhiandsolspa on 9/26!

And I am especially excited because a majority of the proceeds will be going to @herresilientsea 🩵🐚

I recently joined the inaugural board of Her Resilient Sea & am blown away by the waves we’re already making!

Her Resilient Sea exists to create safe, healing-centered spaces where women veterans reconnect with themselves, one another, & the ocean through surf therapy, nature-based experiences, & creative expression.

We are hosting our first surf retreat for women veterans in June of 2027, & 65% of proceeds from this yoga class will be donated toward this cause!

If you or any woman veteran you know could benefit from this type of connection & community, please share the HRS page with them! If you’re near Deland, please come to this class & support us!

Big love & hope to see you on the 26th!

Public lands provide an important space for connection and healing. And that’s something worth fighting for.

In collaboration with Veterans For Public Lands (@veteransforpubliclands), the Conservation Lands Foundation is honored to highlight the amazing work of military veterans who protect our country— including public lands.

Marine Corps veteran Taylor Galadyk (@taylor_galadyk) guides women veterans through a love of surfing 🌊 and nature outings with her organization called Her Resilient Sea (@herresilientsea). Not only is Taylor connected to the ocean which sings to her, but also the organizations who work hard to protect it.

Thank you for your service and for being an incredible Public Land Protector, Taylor. 🩵

Mark your calendar: This Wednesday, September 9, join @the_salty_steward, U.S. Navy veteran, and @taylor_galadyk, U.S. Marine Corps veteran, for a special Instagram Live: The Places That Bring Us Home: Veterans, Nature & the Power of Story.

From the ocean to the mountains, America’s public lands and waters can offer veterans far more than a place to recreate. They can become places of connection, healing, belonging, and renewed purpose.
Chappy and Taylor will share how two very different landscapes helped shape their journeys after military service—and why protecting these places can itself become another form of service.

Because part of our responsibility now is protecting the places that helped bring us home, so the veterans coming behind us have somewhere wild to find themselves, too.

Join us live Wednesday, September 9 at 12 ET, and bring your questions about veterans, storytelling, stewardship, and the places that have shaped you.
