Thank you!!! 🥰 In this episode of Sunshine Café, Lisa welcomes Marci Rossi to share her inspiring journey of breaking free from labels and habits that once defined her—especially her relationship with alcohol. Marci opens up about how drinking was never a “problem” in the traditional sense, yet it quietly held her back from living the life she really wanted. Together, Lisa and Marci explore how powerful it can be to flip the question. Instead of asking “Do I have a problem?” start asking “Could life be better if I tried something else?” In this episode, we dive into mindset shifts, the power of re-examining beliefs, and how experimenting with small changes can unlock true freedom. Marci also shares how leaving alcohol behind gave her the clarity and courage to pivot careers and build a business she loves. This conversation is a powerful reminder that labels don’t define us—we get to write our own story. Marci Rossi’s LINKS:  https://www.marcirossi.com/ Register for the Automagic Summit!
