A little more than a decade ago, no one would have thought that making videos, vlogs, or simply clicking amazing photographs could be a fulfilling career for anyone. With the advent of technology and digital media, people from any corner of the world can follow their passion in any field and achieve success. You can dare to think out of the box and live without working a 9 to 5 job. The young stunning Instagram model and influencer Sarah Houchens did precisely that and is now inspiring millions through her posts to chase their dreams.
Growing up on a farm in Maryland, life has not always been a bed of roses for Sarah Houchens. Like most students pursuing a college education, Sarah was also advised to choose a career in a well-paying 9 to 5 job. Still, she decided to question the status quo and pursue her passion for fitness to motivate others to live healthy and happy. Sarah was a three-sport athlete as a child, and during her teens, she competed in gymnastics, cross country, and swimming tournaments. However, with a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from the University of Maryland, College Park, Sarah decided not to weigh down her dreams with others’ opinions.
Sarah has always dreamed of being a fashion model and inspiring people to improve themselves. After years of hard work building a career and lifestyle that reflected my most profound passion, Sarah has amassed more than 2.2 million followers on Instagram, motivating people to live fulfilling lives. She has turned her dream into a reality with her fearless attitude and positive approach toward life. Now she is inspiring millions to do the same.
Most of her posts include stunning photographs and small videos reflecting her refined sense of style and aesthetics. Although she is popular on Instagram as a bikini model, Sarah has not limited her career to modeling only. She is a certified personal trainer and a yoga instructor. She loves working out at the gym, accompanied by good music, which is evident from her naturally sculpted body. No wonder top fashion, fitness, and lifestyle brands have repeatedly chosen Sarah to promote their products.
In 2022, Sarah was featured as the cover girl of the renowned Fitness Gurls Magazine for both April and May issues. In 2018, she was a part of Playboy Sweden. From humble beginnings, Sarah eventually became one of the top influencers on Instagram and now motivates others to live their dreams. She believes that everyone has the right to live life on their terms. So, people should never allow anyone else to decide what kind of life they want or what they want to pursue. Her message to aspiring talents is, “You have to take the reins and decide to build the life you want.”
Sarah loves to inspire people to live healthier and happier lives. She wants to continue this for many more years to come. Besides, Sarah has plans to venture into entrepreneurship and convince people that no dream is unachievable with hard work and consistency.
