Hidden Gems: Meet Sarah Sherry of Modern Nature

Today we’d like to introduce you to Sarah Sherry.

Hi Sarah, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I am an Arizona girl, born and raised! Grew up in Tempe, went to Arizona State University, and now am building a beautiful life with my husband, daughter, and pup in the same exact area that I grew up in. I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else! During my time at ASU, I knew my passion was to be a special education teacher. I taught 5th-6th graders with specific learning disabilities for five years right out of college. My husband and I got married in 2017 and welcomed the best gift that could have ever happened to us, our daughter Brooklyn in November 2018.

Once I became a mom, my whole entire life changed, and I instantly knew I would do whatever it took to be able to stay at home with her. That’s when my next business venture fell into my lap! I knew I needed to find something A. I could do from my home B. Be able to create my own hours/flexible schedule, and C. Be extremely passionate about. Modern Nature checked every single one of those boxes. I have always been somebody who has been very cautious about what they put into/onto their own body. Once I became a mom, knowing what I was using on my daughter became an even bigger priority of mine. I have been working for Monat now for about a year, and I can confidently say it has been everything I wanted/needed and more. It has allowed me the time, freedom and flexibility to stay at home with my daughter, ALL while making money from my phone. I feel very lucky to be where I am at today!

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I started my new business two weeks before the pandemic hit. I knew I wanted to give this my all, but I also knew how scary of a time it was to be starting a new venture. There’s never going to be a perfect time to begin something new, but I just feel so fortunate that I have such a huge support system cheering me on every step of the way!

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Modern Nature?
Modern Nature or “Monat” started in 2014. We are a luxury, vegan, hair, skin, and wellness company currently located in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Poland, and Ireland. All of our products are cruelty-free, chemical-free, and leaping bunny certified (never tested on animals). I am most proud of our gratitude program that Monat offers. Just in the past year, we donated $500,00 to non-profit partners to help with COVID-19 relief. I think what I would want the readers to know the most about our brand is that it’s not just “selling shampoo”; it has become an opportunity that has allowed me to live out the life I always wanted!

Are there any important lessons you’ve learned that you can share with us?
