On behalf of our dear friend Teray, I have news none of us expected. She has been told she needs immediate triple-bypass heart surgery. It’s serious & sudden. It has forced her to pause what was shaping up to be a powerful beginning to 2026 with new ventures and active client work that must be put on hold while she prepares for surgery and recovery. Her surgery is scheduled for February 11th at Memorial Care Hospital in Laguna Hills. She'll be there for 4-6 days, then recovery will be 2-3 months at home. She won't be able to drive for a month. Anyone who knows Teray knows she is a giver, a builder, and a supporter. She’s spent her life showing up for others in moments that mattered. This is one of those moments when community support is essential for her.
