Inspiring stories of successful women are being told more and more, especially over the past few years. \u201cEvery woman’s success is a reason to celebrate.\u201d Nobody knows this phrase more than New York City\u2019s own, Rachel Choy, the mother of two girls, lifestyle influencer, and the creator of the \u201cIn Rachel\u2019s Shoes\u201d blog.<\/p>\n

Rachel worked a nine-to-five job, got married, and became a mother and viewed posting on social media as a fun and sideline activity during this time of transition. “I needed some occupation, but I also wanted some side income because my parents taught me to be my own boss throughout my upbringing,\u201d Rachel explained.<\/p>\n

With a little help from her husband and a lot of love and support, Rachel decided to bring her social media presence to a whole new level. \u201cI’ve been working a lot on weekends and holidays to create enough content. The reason for that is because I didn\u2019t have time for that due to my full-time job,” says Rachel.<\/p>\n

She didn\u2019t expose her kids on social media at first – she was trying to keep them safe. But because of Rachel\u2019s busy schedule, she didn\u2019t see her children and family that often. \u201cThen I decided to repurpose my posting time and turn it into our bonding time,\u201d explains Rachel Choy. \u201cWhenever I had a chance, I posted about my silly girls and shared our beautiful family moments.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when she started going into a lifestyle and family presence on social media<\/a>. Rachel is aware niche brings a lot of curiosity in the world of the Internet – but she manages to keep a balance between work and private life. \u201cI know that people will always judge no matter what you post. So, I don\u2019t share everything from our lives,\u201d explains Rachel. \u201cOnly things that are interesting or can be beneficial to people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her blog<\/a> posts are divided into a few topics, such as travel recaps, lifestyle recommendations, food reviews, family tips and updates, shoes, and fashion. \u201cThose are not exaggerated, trendy, or fake themes – those are my natural surroundings and interests,\u201d explains Rachel Choy. \u201cI hold on to two key ingredients in life – passion, and realness. And I also apply that in my work, posting, and blogging.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because she values \u201creal\u201d over \u201cfiltered,\u201d Rachel has no problem sharing no-makeup selfies. \u201cWhen you are true and honest to yourself and others – people will recognize that,\u201d she says. Her honest and natural approach to Instagram posts and blog stories drew attention and gained the trust of many followers and brands. \u201cAlso, when it comes to brands and partnerships, I prefer to be real,\u201d says Rachel Choy. \u201cI won\u2019t recommend products or services to my community if I don\u2019t mean that from the bottom of my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rachel points out that content creating job allowed her to combine all things she loves and enjoys. \u201cAll my passions, love, and creative sparkles are melding into this job, and it brings me an endless feeling of joy,\u201d explains Rachel. \u201cThe only thing we should all strive for is to find the perfect work-life balance – only that will bring satisfaction and success into our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26633,"featured_media":73987,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[],"yoast_head":"\nRachel Choy Shares the Secret How You Can Have Your Cake and Eat it Too<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/rachel-choy-shares-the-secret-how-you-can-have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Rachel Choy Shares the Secret How You Can Have Your Cake and Eat it Too!\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Inspiring stories of successful women are being told more and more, especially over the past few years. \u201cEvery woman’s success is a reason to celebrate.\u201d Nobody knows this phrase more than New York City\u2019s own, Rachel Choy, the mother of two girls, lifestyle influencer, and the creator of the \u201cIn Rachel\u2019s Shoes\u201d blog.
