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

  • What podcasts are you listening to? Podcasts have become such an outlet for me — they’ve taken me through some rough patches, kept me company on long walks, and honestly just filled the silence in the best way. While they haven’t quite reached my level of obsession with books, they definitely hold their own. For…

  • 🍷 Cabernet & Conversations: Things I Wish I Knew in My 30s

    If I could pour a glass for my 30-year-old self, I’d tell her to breathe, to stop rushing to become, and to trust her own timing. I’d remind her that being liked isn’t the same as being loved, that boundaries aren’t betrayal, and that joy isn’t something you earn — it’s something you allow. These…

  • The Subject That Spoke to My Soul: English Literature

    My favorite subject was always English Literature — not just for the stories, but for the way words could capture emotion, shift perspective, and reflect the world back to us with clarity and beauty. It taught me how to feel deeply, write honestly, and find meaning even in the messiest of chapters.

  • The Gift of Time: Grace in Waiting

    Sometimes, time doesn’t rush in with answers — it simply offers space. Space to feel, to pause, to soften. In the stillness, we begin to mend. Time may not erase the ache, but it teaches us to carry it with more grace.

  • There isn’t a Christmas that I don’t think of that friend- the one who once felt like family. Sometimes wonder if we were meant to last longer, or if our season ended right on time. Maybe the lesson isn’t in fixing what broke, but in forgiving the part of me that didn’t know how to…

  • Experience: My Greatest Investment

    There are chapters of my life I might’ve rewritten — choices I questioned, moments I mourned. But each one, even the hardest, brought me closer to the woman I am today. Through tears and laughter, doubt and resilience, I’ve come to honor the journey. I didn’t always know how I’d make it through, but I…

  • Everyone should know that healing isn’t linear, confidence isn’t constant, and success doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes the most powerful growth happens in silence, in setbacks, in the moments no one claps for. Give yourself grace. You’re doing better than you think.

  • When the Mirror Feels Heavy

    We spend so much time chasing versions of ourselves we think will be more lovable, more accepted, more ‘enough.’ But the truth is—we already are. In every curve, every quiet moment, every messy thought—we are whole. Healing isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about remembering who you were before the world told you to be…

  • ✨ If a genie ever showed up mid-latte, here’s what I’d wish for: Maybe wishes aren’t about magic lamps after all — maybe they’re about giving ourselves permission to want ease, joy, and a little everyday enchantment. ✨ #SaralaLife #WhimsicalWishes #ModernMagic #CareersCaninesCabernet #ManifestingMainCharacterEnergy #SoftLifeButMakeItPurposeful

  • Some Sundays are simply meant to refill your soul — the kind that start with a spin-sculpt class, sneak in a three-mile jog, a lingering lunch with your favorite human, and end with the kitchen looking like a pasta crime scene. Yesterday was one of those days. After meal-prep mayhem, we found ourselves stretched out…
