Sarala Life — Life in Chapters: Careers, Canines, Cabernet & Courage

A life well-poured: work, wine, and everything in between.

Hi, I’m Sarala — a lawyer, storyteller, and unapologetic lover of good wine, good dogs, and good conversation. After years navigating boardrooms, deals, and governance across the Caribbean, I’ve learned that life — like leadership — is best lived in chapters. Some are bold and ambitious. Some are quiet and healing. And most are best shared over a glass of wine and a wagging tail nearby. This space is where I write about it all — the beautiful, messy balance of careers, canines, and cabernet. From reflections on purpose and courage to lessons from leadership, love, and dog walks, these are the stories that shape who I am — and, maybe, who we’re all becoming. Pull up a chair (or pour a glass) and stay awhile. Here’s to life in chapters — imperfect, authentic, and deeply human.

The Coolest Thing I’ve Found? My Truth.

What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)?

It’s easy to dim yourself to fit in. To shrink, to stay silent for peace, to hustle past purpose. It’s easy to stay somewhere just because leaving looks hard—or to hold onto shame that was never yours to begin with.

But the coolest thing I’ve ever found—and fought to keep—is my truth.

Reclaiming my voice, my power, and knowing what actually matters to me. Learning to communicate better. Letting go of guilt for changing seasons, releasing people, or stepping into something new. That’s treasure. Because the truth is: I’ve survived days I thought would break me. And if I can do that, I can survive anything.

So no, I don’t want to be everyone’s cup of tea anymore.

I’ll be the champagne.
