MAY I ASK YOU A QUESTION...
Is an unexpected or impending life transition like empty nesting, retirement, downsizing, relocation, divorce, or loss,
creating more anxiety, confusion, fatigue, overwhelm, and fear
than confidence, clarity, peace, elation, and joy?
If you answered yes, we want you to know you are not alone.
Our team is standing by, ready, willing, and able to support you through
the valley of transition to the summits of joy!

Have your circumstances changed, or are they about to?
-
Are you trying to define, create, or adjust to a new normal?
-
Are you experiencing decision fatigue?
-
Are you wondering what's next for you?
-
Are you feeling apathetic in your daily routine?
-
Are you wondering if there is another adventure, or something more for you?
You are not alone! We've been there too, and so have the countless clients we have been so blessed to serve.
If you are a woman who is trying to find your footing in an unfamiliar season and who also wants to plant your feet in a circumstance that will allow you to write your next chapter with clarity, purpose, and joy, then Sweet Tea Summits is your right fit transitional partner for you!

FOR THE UTMOST WELL-BEING AND JOY OF MATURE WOMEN IN TRANSITION
You've heard it said that it is better to have "Bad-Time" friends than "Good-Time" friends! Consider "Sweet Tea Summits" your "Bad-Time" friend! We support, protect, and guide you through your challenging times with the measure of care you tell us is right for you.
We work primarily with mature women in transition–who more often than not are doing life on their own. We provide a menu of services that allow our clients to move into the next chapter of their lives with greater ease, clarity, purpose, peace, and joy by alleviating the weight of burdens, easing overwhelm, and adding clarity in times of uncertainty.
We achieve this goal through our Legacy Stewardship Collective. Through our collective, we have curated a full suite of bespoke wellness services that include bespoke concierge services, empowerment talks, wellness workshops, life-design coaching, (coming soon) wellness retreats, and motivational retail products all purposed to support our clients to curate time, cultivate joy, and ultimately savor the sweetness of aging...unhindered!
An added benefit of working with Sweet Tea Summits is the peace of mind that our clients' loved ones have, knowing that when time and distance make it difficult for them to physically be there, their loved one is not alone but is being supported by competent, vetted, experienced senior advisors.

TRANSITIONAL
CONCIERGE SERVICES
Pay–What–You–Can–Model
At some point, we all need a little help getting over the hump. Our short-term, non-medical concierge services are intended to support independent, mature women with practical needs that can generally be completed in a short timeframe. Services can include, but are not limited to, organizing, trip planning, special errands, tech help, basic home maintenance, decluttering, downsizing, local move management, packing and unpacking, gift wrapping, car care help, and more.
We serve with respectful care, trustworthy hands, and joyful hearts, using our gifts to support those who have given so much but are all too often overlooked.
For our clients' peace of mind, we are background-checked and fingerprinted by an official NC Dept. of Justice office. We take client safety very seriously!
Finances should never be the sole reason a single, aging woman cannot access temporary support services! If you are of the means to cover our rates, wonderful. But if you genuinely cannot, we will cheerfully accept a lesser fee, a note of gratitude, or even a small token of appreciation. Various forms of compensation will be received with gratitude — (For our safety and yours, there are limitations and restrictions to this policy. Each situation is on a case-by-case basis. (We can't accept dead or live animals, anything illegal, substances, or weapons!)
Service agreements under the pay-what-you-can model include a limited number of hours.

TEACH
Small-Group Workshops for Intentional Living
Our 1, 2, or 3-day workshops give women space to pause, reflect, learn, and grow in a smaller group setting. Through guided teaching, meaningful conversations, and practical exercises, we explore the ins and outs of intentional joy-filled living, legacy creation, overcoming self-limiting beliefs, forgiveness, purpose, values, joy, love, and custom-designing a "life" ecosystem that supports the woman you are, and the woman you are becoming.
Each workshop is thoughtfully designed around a specific area of growth, offering women practical tools and meaningful insight for the season they are navigating.
Depending on the experience selected, participants may explore how to define and quiet self-limiting beliefs stealing joy; how to forgive for real and lasting inner peace; how to distinguish between happiness and true joy–and why it matters; how to define the character of love so you can attract love that heals rather than harms,; and how to pave your new journey with greater clarity, peace, purpose, and confidence.

COACH
Premium One–to–One
Life–Design Coaching
Serious coaching for the woman who believes there is more life, more adventure, more love, more peace, and more joy waiting on the other side of her current story (or the story that created her current circumstances) and is also ready to stop surviving, running on autopilot, or pretending that she is "FINE," and lastly, is ready to start intentionally designing the shape, look, and feel of her present life so that she can intentionally, author her next chapter.
This six-month premium coaching experience is not for everyone, nor is it available to everyone. It is only for the woman who is ready to walk the talk, stumble through the valley of struggle, and endure the tough climb up to the summit of her most authentic, joy-filled mountain (aka life)!
This program is highly personalized and thus limited to 12 participants per session, and only 24 participants per year.
Through Laura’s proprietary coaching program, you will be challenged, inspired, and safe to rediscover–or perhaps finally discover–who you are and what you want and need, reframe your story, drop any excuses holding you back, define and reclaim your joy, and ultimately custom-design your next chapter with such authenticity, faith, courage, intention, and excitement that you will never again, easily or willingly, settle for a life void of love, peace, purpose, or joy.

PRESERVE
Legacy Documentation & Preservation
What if the stories, wisdom, and words of love your family may one day need most are the very things you've never thought to write down?
Your life is a one-of-a-kind story, shaped by experiences, choices, challenges, faith, and love. Within that story are treasured memories, hard-earned lessons, family traditions, and personal wisdom that deserve to be remembered and passed on. You don't need to have lived an extraordinary life to leave an extraordinary legacy.
Through personalized Legacy Letters, Ethical Wills, Heirloom Albums, and other meaningful keepsakes, Sweet Tea Summits helps you thoughtfully document and preserve the stories, values, lessons, and expressions of love that make your journey uniquely yours. Whether you're sharing your family's history, offering wisdom to grandchildren, or leaving heartfelt words for someone you cherish, we help you create lasting treasures that reflect your authentic voice.
Our approach is deeply personal, compassionate, and respectful. We understand that revisiting a lifetime of memories can bring laughter, tears, healing, and gratitude. That's why we take the time to listen, honor your experiences, and help you preserve what matters most.
Because one day, someone you love may need the strength of your story, the wisdom of your experiences, or the comfort of your words. Let's make sure they have them.

Experience the
Sweet Tea Summits Difference
At Sweet Tea Summits, we meet you in the tender, vulnerable in-between space where seasons of life transitions can make your days feel heavy, uncertain, unfamiliar, or just a little harder to journey through on your own.
With compassion, dignity, and respect, we will help you to discover who you are in
your new normal; what you want and need, and how to build a ladder (or a bridge)
from where you are to where you want to be. We stand in the gap that transitions, especially unexpected transitions, tend to create.

The Valley
Receive Steady Support
When life feels heavy, messy, or too much to manage alone, we help carry the burden. Whether you need practical concierge support, help through a transition, a calmer home, fewer undone tasks, or simply someone trustworthy beside you, we step in with steady hands and compassionate care so you can breathe again, feel seen, and determine what your next right step looks like.

The Climb
Gain Wisdom for What
Comes Next
Once the immediate pressure begins to lift, we help you look forward with greater clarity. Through story-centered talks, workshops, and life-design coaching, you can gain the tools needed to understand what has been stealing your joy, release what no longer serves you, strengthen your voice, make more intentional choices, and begin shaping a life that feels honest, peaceful, and your own.

The Summit
Rise, Restored
The summit is not always about becoming someone brand new but about discovering, defining, and becoming the next best version of yourself. It is about creating a life defined by more peace, strength, and purpose than before. Through coaching, community, reflection, healing hikes, and restorative retreat experiences, you will begin to reclaim your joy, reframe your story, connect with what matters, and build a legacy life–the kind you are proud to leave behind–one day at a time.

Meet Your Concierges
Grounded by our faith in Jesus, Jody and Laura Henry founded
"Sweet Tea Summits" for many reasons, but here are three:
-
Our shared deep-seated belief that living a joy-filled life should not be optional for anyone, yet for far too many it is.
-
Our passionate belief that our elders (anyone older than us), especially more mature women doing life on their own, should be honored, treasured, supported, and seen because without them, there is no next generation!
-
Just because the clock has ticked a few more tocs for some does not mean their adventures are over. If we can help others live fuller, more joy-filled lives, we will do so to the very best of our ability.
-
Second Acts are often the best because regret is a fabulous teacher.
We stand firmly on our non-negotiable values–love, integrity, honesty, compassion, perseverance, empathy, and respect. These direct our character, our choices, and our decisions. Who we are in our personal lives is exactly who we are in our professional lives. Ask anyone who knows us! We believe character is not something you talk about, but is proven through consistent action. Which is why we serve every client, stranger, friend, and family member with our best. The bar we set for ourselves is pretty high! We treat every client with excellence: integrity, dignity, dependability, warmth, and genuine care. We arent perfect! Sometimes we do get it wrong, but you better beleive that when we do, we own it, and do our best to correct our error.
Every person has purpose, every story matters, and everyone deserves to feel supported, heard, seen, and respected.
