Conversations with the Inspiring Brianna Fernandes

Today we’d like to introduce you to Brianna Fernandes.

Brianna, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I got started when I was a private jet flight attendant, almost two years ago. When started, I didn’t know what I was getting into or why I even joined. What I did have was a strong feeling of ‘trust the process’ so I said yes and made the leap of faith. As soon as my son Walker came into my world, it all came together. The universe put this incredible opportunity in my life so that I could stay with him, take care of my family while creating something of myself for myself.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc. – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
When I first started my business, I was very negative about everything. But I learned pretty quickly that there’s no room for negativity, your an entrepreneur. You MUST have a strong mindset. You will run into all more learning moments that easy-breezy moments, but those are the most valuable! I’ve only become better because of my setbacks and because of how I choose to look at it. Two people can look at a flower and have two different perspectives on it and both of their minds believe them. Your mind doesn’t know the difference between reality and what your thoughts are. It believes everything you feed it, so feed it well. The tools I use are podcast, books and my incredible tribe of women. Find tools/resources/people that do what you do and does it better than you, so you can learn from the best.

So let’s switch gears a bit and go into Modern Nature story. Tell us more about the business.
I’m partners in the #1 anti-aging, vegan, cruelty-free beauty line. We customize hair and skin care systems that get sent straight to your door. Our products have four main ingredients that are patented and the only place you can find them are in our products. The intention behind our products are to clean your scalp from years of build-up and revise damage since they haven’t banned what they put into hair care products since the 1930s. What sets us apart is the science and clean ingredients in our products. Our skincare launched two months ago and in the first 36 hours, we sold $4M and reach 50%of its aggressive 2019 forecast in just three weeks. We are the best and so much more than a bottle. We make an impact while making an impact, I’m living my dream life.

Looking back on your childhood, what experiences do you feel played an important role in shaping the person you grew up to be?
Yes, I was raised by a single mother who worked so hard. She always motivated me to be the best me and to work hard so that’s what I did. I started to work at a very young age and never stopped. I was a work-a-holic. I had multiple jobs and was saving money but not enough money for all the time I put in. That this business presented itself to me and I knew I had to take a chance because what I was doing for years wasn’t working the way I imagined it would.

Another moment that comes up for me is one of my trips to Brazil. It was the first trip as a teenager so I began to understand my surroundings more. When I saw the poverty, I knew that I wanted (still do) to do something to help. I volunteer, donate and do what I can, but I have bigger dreams than that. I see myself building villages, donating to schools, making a difference.
