Foundation to Fly with Janelle Draper

Foundation to Fly with Janelle Draper 501(c)3 nonprofit organization serving women and girls who lead in their own lives and the community There's grit, giggles, and an abundance of grace.

Foundation to Fly is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization serving girls in third grade through motherhood in workshops, programs, and individual coaching. Connection to yourself, one another, and the community starts with vulnerability and a sense of shared humanity. The foundation to fly is for those who would like become leaders in their everyday life or in the community. She must want to do the wo

rk to connect with others and, ultimately, with herself. People often ask if as a non-profit I serve those who are “at risk”. “Just by being girls, we are at risk. We are at risk of low self-esteem, eating disorders, peer pressure, not being who we are, and a whole list of emotionally and physically harmful behaviors. Yes, I work with at-risk girls. They are girls.”

Contact me to learn more, set up 1:1 coaching, chat about Oreo's, or get involved. You matter!

It's International Women's Day. What are your girls up to? Please post an update about their interests, accomplishments, or just brag as their mom.

Your girls may grow, but I'll always be interested in hearing about their lives!

Roots and Wings is for girls, but I have to tell you, it's absolutely for me, too.

Saturday I attended the wedding of one of my girls, and this weekend I'll attend a soccer game to support another. Sunday I'll love on one of my girls as she navigates a hard season and while I'm present for them, they are absolutely giving me a gift.

Thank you for all of the ways you love me and welcome me into the fold of your families.

Today is the last day to vote for this round of America's Favorite Teacher, and only the number one person moves on. I sure would love your support. I also love YOU!

You guys, I'm currently number 3 in my group. This is because of you! I don't even have the words. Your free votes, one every day, will help me make it to number one.

Today is a double donation day, so a $10 donation to Teach for America counts for 20 votes, if you were considering a donation.

For 20 years I have shown up for families as an advocate, support system, and guide personally and academically. Winning would fund my next Master's Degree laser-focused on the needs of students related to everyday hardships, peer relations, trauma, and overcoming obstacles.

Thank you for your daily free votes, sharing and asking others to vote, your donations to Teach for America, and your overall support. I'm humbled and grateful!

Just in case you need to hear it, you're doing a great job. Your best is enough. You're not supposed to be good at everything, and when one area of your life requires more attention, it's absolutely okay for other areas of your life to receive less.

You have 100%. It's all you can give. Dividing that in different ways, at different times, for different reasons is okay.

The amount you have to give at any point has nothing to do with your worth.

I see you. I love you. Every bit of you!

I'm far better at showing up for others than asking for support, but I'd love if you could take time each day to vote for me. :)

Ultimately this is a fundraiser for an educational organization, but you get one free vote every day. One person, doing one thing, once a day, alongside another person doing the same, sure does make a HUGE difference.

I've decided to add a second Master's Degree over the next two years to better meet the social, emotional, and overall wellness needs of students K-12. Winning would cover the cost and is a reminder of the power of small acts making a big difference.

Share, comment, and vote to help with visibility and to move me to the top of my group so I can make it to the next round. :)

YOU Matter!!

As one who tends to wounds, I'm also a keeper of the stories.

They are private and personal to each individual or family, but what I wish was more widely known is just how many people navigate similar situations.

People reach out in their hardest moments while processing events they never dreamed would become their reality. I wish I could link all of these people together, the strongest most vulnerable women, who have been broken wide open and navigate the world with great love and compassion in the face of the most trying times.

You may not know one another, but I see you. I see all of you. And, I love every bit of your pieces as they shatter, and they're pieced back together.

You're not alone.

It's SEL week. How have you grown this year?

Take a moment to think about your personal growth, discuss it as a family over dinner, or talk about it with your kiddos before bed.

We often focus on all of the things we want to do, or areas we want to grow. What if we took a couple of minutes today to recognize all of the areas you've already grown?

Think of the various areas of your life like sports, music, friendships, family, hobbies, emotions, or uncomfortable moments that have helped you to become better than you were before.

SEL-brate what you've learned.

You're worth it!

Is it the situation or your thoughts about the situation that's the bigger problem?

In isolation, challenges tend to be far more manageable than they feel at the time. Those feelings often stem from our thoughts, memories, or worries moreso than the actual event.

Today, girls in Roots and Wings performed skits about this very topic and made connections to their own lives and the importance of our thoughts.

What would you tell these precious girls that could very well be a reminder to ourselves too?

What's not to love?

Our Valentine lesson included finding your partner for the day based on matching Disney duos, learning about just how similar we are with a Valentine "Would you rather?", reflecting on what contributed to each person feeling important, and a fast paced team challenge.

These girls are PURE love!

Set goals, pick a word, do all the things.

And, remember that who you are, in this exact moment, is enough.

You are enough, as is.

You are worthy, as is.

You are valuable, as is.

You are strong, as is.

You are important, as is.

And you are loved. So very loved. Exactly the way you are.

This is my current goal. It's uncomfortable and I don't even know what I'm doing.

Am I doing it right? 🤣

Change, even if it's so good for you at the soul level, is unfamiliar, and weird, and feels wrong.

Lean into it. If you want to feel different, then you have to be willing to do something different.

I'm trying to do nothing.

Anyone else find this very uncomfortable?
