Keep reading to uncover Rachael’s recipe for success, straight from the heart of the woman who revolutionized quick meals and kitchen hacks.
Follow Your Instincts
Rachael Ray, who's about to hit the big 5-0 in August, isn't one to shy away from her gut feelings. "I'm not going to change what I do or how I make my decisions," she boldly stated in an interview with The New York Times. "It's my gut that's brought me this far. Money has never been a motivator for me, and it never will be." Take, for instance, her bold move into the pet food industry with her brand Nutrish. "People were telling me it was crazy to put my face on dog food, but I trusted my instincts," she shared. And boy, did it pay off. By 2017, Nutrish had raked in a staggering $650 million. That’s the power of trusting yourself, folks.
Stay Positive, No Matter What
Rachael isn’t one to dwell on negativity. "I don’t waste my time consuming negative information online," she confessed. "It just doesn’t serve me." She admitted that there were times, especially in the early days, when people made fun of her, and it stung. "I cried plenty back then," she recalled. But she’s learned to let it roll off her back. "Now, I’m good," she declared with a sense of calm assurance. Staying positive isn’t just a choice; it’s a way of life for Rachael.

Even after 13 successful seasons of The Rachael Ray Show, Rachael isn’t slowing down. She’s got her hands full with writing a new book, launching a furniture line, and venturing into gardening and handbag design. But that’s not all—she's also diving headfirst into producing digitally streamed shows centered around food, travel, and music. "Music is a little intimidating because I love it so much," she admitted with a laugh. Yet, it’s that passion that fuels her creativity and keeps her pushing forward.
Discover Your Bliss
When she’s not busy innovating in the kitchen or designing new products, Rachael finds solace in the serene woods of upstate New York, where she lives with her husband, John M. Cusimano. "This place brings me so much joy," she gushed. Her downtime includes indulging in reruns of Columbo and spending quality time with their beloved pit bull, Isaboo. It’s these simple pleasures that keep her grounded and happy.
