About Me — Off Script Mama
I never planned to be “Off Script.”
I used to find comfort in checklists, milestones, and the “right” way to do things. But motherhood? It threw the whole script out the window — and honestly, that’s when the real story began.
I’m Shante — a full-time working mama of two, navigating life with a one year old and three year old, career goals, cold meals, and warm moments that make it all worth it. Off Script Mama was born from the messy middle — from the moments that don’t make the highlight reel but shape us the most.
This space is for the moms who are figuring it out as they go.
Off Script Mama is more than a blog. It’s a community, a conversation, and a comforting corner of the internet where we can show up real — not perfect.
It’s for mamas who are working, nursing, pumping, juggling drop-offs and deadlines, Googling “Is this normal?” at 2 a.m., and wondering if they’re the only ones winging it most days.
Spoiler: you're not.
I’m currently breastfeeding my youngest and have breastfed both of my children — and let me just say that alone is a full-time job. Nursing on work breaks, pumping between meetings, washing bottles, and pump parts in the dark. It’s exhausting, beautiful, and something I wish we talked about more honestly.
That’s what this platform is about: truth, support, and doing motherhood in a way that works for you — not what someone else says it should look like.
Off Script Mama is where you'll find:
- Real-life product reviews (like the double stroller I can’t stop raving about)
- Encouragement for working moms who are doing all the things
- Reflections on modern motherhood — the highs, the lows, and the in-betweens
- Tips for routines, screen-free activities, and surviving (and thriving!) with toddlers
- Gentle reminders that you’re not failing — you’re just doing it your way
I don’t have it all figured out. But I do know this: There’s power in rewriting the rules. And if you’re doing it your way, even when it’s hard — you’re doing it beautifully.
Whether you’re nursing a newborn while managing a conference call, or chasing a toddler who just took off one sock and ran through a splash pad, Off Script Mama is for you.
So grab a drink — alcohol or not — and stay awhile.
This is motherhood, unscripted. And it’s worth celebrating.
Welcome to Off Script Mama!.
You belong here!
