Why was Dad staring at the orange juice at Father's Day brunch?

👨‍👧 Father’s Day Reflection

Father’s Day Reflection

This Father’s Day hits a little deeper. I just spent two weeks with my dad at my childhood home in NY after the loss of my mom. We don’t always see eye to eye—but we see heart to heart. 💕 He’s always been the steady protector, the quiet caretaker, the one who shows up no matter how heavy life gets. That strength shaped me more than words ever could.

As I look at an old photo of him pushing me in a wheelbarrow and the selfies he snapped this week at my favorite ice cream spot, I’m reminded: we don’t have to be perfect to be present. Sometimes love looks like just showing up, again and again. 

In my work, I help others use AI to create deeper human connection. So when I couldn’t find the right words to support my dad through the hardest days of his life the days before my Mom passed, I turned to the same tools I teach. I used AI to help me write a song that could say what I couldn’t out loud. It’s called Let Me Hold You, and it was my way of reminding him that even the strongest hearts deserve to lean sometimes.🤗

For anyone navigating something similar—or just curious—here’s the song I created to say what I couldn’t. 👉 Give it a listen here

🤔 Feeling A Little Stuck Lately?

🙏 What if you could move past old wounds without prescriptions? Meet Courtney, a local Life Alchemist who knows you can!

In a world where change often feels daunting, Courtney DeMatteo offers a warm invitation to rediscover your true self. Originally from Connecticut, she was drawn to Colorado by a dream of the breathtaking Rockies. Her professional journey began with Crystal Clarity and evolved into Life Alchemy—a unique blend of science and spirituality designed to help individuals unlock your fullest potential.

When clients feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, Courtney creates a safe space where profound healing can occur. Her approach integrates hypnosis, Reiki, and intuitive coaching, allowing people to experience deep shifts naturally, without relying on pharmaceuticals or other substances. "Life Alchemy isn't just about change; it's about reclaiming who you are," she explains. This method has led many clients to breakthroughs, helping them move past old traumas and build lives filled with purpose and joy.

Courtney's commitment to community wellness is evident through her work with veterans and her ongoing support for local organizations, fostering connection and resilience throughout Colorado Springs and beyond.

Her established E3 coaching program guides participants through three distinct phases: Empower, Enlighten, and Evolve. As she nears completion of her certification in Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), Courtney continues to deepen her impact by offering gentle, powerful alternatives to traditional methods.

If you've been feeling like something needs to shift—if you're yearning for more peace, clarity, or simply to feel like yourself again—Courtney understands.
