Shana-Lee Scott is ready to add author to her list of titles. She is the CEO and founder of Breathe & Exhale 360, a certified life coach, and now, a published author. With over twenty years of personal self-care practice, she is passionate about encouraging her family, friends, and audience to take meaningful moments for themselves.

 

Mommy in Waiting is both a passion project and an act of obedience—but ultimately, it is Shana-Lee’s love story to God. She and her husband, Joshua Scott, have been trusting God for a child. In the process, Shana-Lee realized that the book she needed did not exist on any shelf. Inspired by a quote from Toni Morrison—“If there’s a book you really want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.”—she did just that.

 

Shana-Lee wrote her first book and could not be prouder. Mommy in Waiting: A 40-Day Devotional is a deeply personal exploration of the emotional journey experienced during seasons of waiting. Through heartfelt devotionals, she shares her own experience of longing for a child and the faith it requires. She offers comfort and reassurance to others walking a similar path, reminding them that if it’s taking longer than expected to have a child, there is nothing wrong with them.

 

When she’s not writing, Shana-Lee is creating safe spaces for women to show up as their authentic selves. Through Breathe & Exhale 360, she curates meaningful experiences that empower women to care for themselves without guilt. She shares Midday Motivation every Monday, sends out a weekly newsletter, and hosts rejuvenating retreats where women are invited to relax, release, and refocus. She also offers a thoughtfully curated self-care box for continued encouragement and rest at home.

 

Shana-Lee believes her life’s mission is to edify Christ. One of her anchor verses is: “He must increase, but I must decrease.” — John 3:30 (NKJV)
