About Chana Gittle
"I want a joyful, fulfilling life as a wife and mother.
How do I create this?"
Chana Gittle Deray had absolutely NO IDEA!
When she turned to find her soulmate, a tall kind Frenchman, on one knee with a quirky smile and that all-important question, she panicked. And gave him the only answer she could.
“Why?!”
She had no blueprint. No tools.
She said yes. She married the guy on one knee and began a lifelong journey to find the wisdom she so desperately needed.
Now, this wife of the quirky Frenchman and mother of 9,
Author, Life Coach, Teacher and Speaker, generously shares her ever-growing toolbox with women looking to build joyful fulfilling lives – all delivered with Chana Gittle’s signature warmth, humor and positive energy.

"What I experienced went beyond council, beyond a safe place to share my struggles. She helped me face and heal from things that had been troubling me for years, and then to tap into my inner wisdom and rediscover myself.
I can't describe the relief of having tools, and to know that my past doesn't need to be my present and won't be my future.
I couldn't recommend this more!"

The curriculum is ever-growing and changing to serve the needs of the women. These are some of the topics we generally cover:
EVERY FIELD TRIP NEEDS A PERMISSION SLIP.
We will start with giving ourselves permission to dive in, enjoy, embrace, grow, shine our special light, trust ourselves and take care of ourselves.
DEFINE THE CARROT:
WHAT IS THE GOAL?
Where are you headed? What is your dream for your family?
YOU ARE NOW ON THE ROAD-CREW:

MEN CHOOSING PAINT COLORS WILL NEED A NOTE FROM THEIR WIVES:
THE WOMAN, THE CEO OF THE FAMILY.
The home is the woman. No one knows the intimate workings and needs of our homes and families like we do. It is the most important job that we do on Earth – building foundations for our families, and we are created for it.
• The myth of the 6 armed woman, and the thought that you are missing 4.
• every physical tasks of a mother is indeed Divine service.
• Why Steve Jobs was irreplaceable.
• Power or burden?
• When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. Creating the mood of the home.
• Children are resilient and you are not perfect.
SELF ESTEEM:
YOURS, MINE, & NOW THEIRS.
• Who am I.

• Where am I valuable.
• Feelings of failure.
• The myth of the perfect mother.
• You are the daughter of a king - dignity.

• Recharging the batteries. Self. Marriage.
• Everything takes time.
• The engine light is on. Taking care of your health.
• Women and Food – The first recorded sin in the Bible.

GET A GRIP WOMAN!
TIME/LIFE MANAGEMENT & A LOVE FOR LISTS

Creating the dance on paper – schedules and routines that reflect your goals and priorities.
SURFING 101: HOME MANAGEMENT
If you want a husband and children, your home may never be perfectly clean – everything is a trade-off.
• Your home is a training ground.
• Streamlining laundry, cleaning, and other tasks.
• Is this a rummage sale or my child's bedroom? Strategies for stuff.
• Food schedules and meal plans.
• Minimize, simplify, reduce. Organize - everything has a home with nothing extra, just like Hashem's world.
• Lists – breaking the project down into smaller tasks, and not using your mind as a hard drive.
THE DAYS ARE LONG BUT THE YEARS ARE SHORT: PARENTING
Our children are with us for a limited time. They are a perfect shidduch, a match from Hashem. They are here to teach and grow you as much as you are here to teach and grow them.
• Giving your kids something to dream about.
• The teaching moment.
• Honor your parents. The healthy foundation for the home and the child.
• Everyone needs a job. And how to get that to fly.
• Thank you, praise and encouragement. Looking for the good. And that moment before you scream.
• Whose homework is it? Setting proper parent-child boundaries.
• You are the parents of this child – trusting your kishka.
• Orderliness, cleanliness, consistency, routines and sleep. Really.
EXCUSE ME. HAVE WE MET? :
KEEPING YOUR MARRIAGE ALIVE & VIBRANT
Your marriage is not only the foundation of your home and children's lives, it is the vessel to hold your blessings, and your source of joy.
• 2 halves of a whole working together since birth.
• Challenges – why they happen and how to deal with them.
• Nurturing your marriage.
WHAT DOESN"T KILL YOU WILL MAKE YOU STRONGER:
ALL ABOUT CHALLENGES
Life is messy. It is here to teach you, expand you, and show you how big and strong you really are. Will your challenges make you or break you? What are the tools and perspectives you need to make that difference.
IF YOU NEEDED IT YOU WOULD HAVE IT:
A MINDSET OF ABUNDANCE
You have what you need – making it feel that way. Gratitude, and creating a successful husband and wealthy kids.
IF I AM THE CEO, WHY DO I FEEL LIKE THE JANITOR?:
ATTITUDES & PERSPECTIVES
• We are sitting on the keys to our own happiness
• Dust in The light - we can't see the holiness.
• You see what you get and you get what you see. Intolerance, negative judgment, and bears, oh my.
• You are a bricklayer on the Sears tower - Getting a perspective on the work and accomplishments of the day-to-day.
• Busy vs. hard.
• It's all in your mind – How are you looking at it?
HOLIDAYS
Yes, we have to talk about this.
• Making holidays so the children want to someday celebrate them.
• Each holiday, each day has an energy. Using that energy like the wind beneath your sails.
KEEP IT SIMPLE, SISTER:
EXPLORING EXPECTATIONS
We are each wired differently. Appreciating that there is no right or wrong way, only unique packages. Knowing your nature and your resources. Abolishing a list of “Shoulds” that don’t reflect your mission and resources.
DIGNITY
You are a diamond. Being in the world with boundaries.
