Orange Juice Optional

By: Michelle Milne and Suzanne Hueners
  • Summary

  • Orange Juice Optional is a podcast that celebrates both the crazy and serious sides of everyday life. Through the eyes and comfort of a 15-year friendship, and with over 100 years of stories and experiences between them, co-hosts Suzanne and Michelle tackle the ups and downs of their unpredictable empty nest lives. Their stories are relatable, funny and the best part is, they are all absolutely true! While they thought life would get easier after the kids were grown, they’ve since adapted the motto that ‘we couldn’t make this up if we tried’. Now, pop that cork, pour that glass of champagne, and celebrate along with us. Also, remember that no matter the time of day, Orange Juice is optional. This is a judgement free zone, because why would you dilute what is best in life.

  • Divine timing, collective events and a little this or that
    Feb 4 2025

    On this week’s episode of Orange Juice Optional, Suzanne tells Michelle a story about how a previous OJO episode inspired a listener. With some assistance from the Universe, the listener found the message that she needed to hear in that very moment. Tune in to hear Suzanne recap the healing experience that was shared with her.

    After that discussion, the episode easily transitions into a conversation about important events that we collectively get to witness.

    These topics, followed by a quick round of “this or that”, will close out this episode. However, before their final ‘cheers’, Michelle will share this week’s ‘Something to Sip on'.

    OJO's 'Something to Sip on' is always a featured quote intended to inspire reflection and continued contemplation.

    Until next week everyone stay authentic to who you are! Cheers!!

    Episode Notes

    On this week’s episode of Orange Juice Optional, Suzanne and Michelle discuss a comment that Michelle recently received from a loved one. While Michelle explains why she didn’t appreciate the comment, Suzanne offers a silver lining and defends it. As Michelle has been saying for awhile….there is a kinder, gentler and maybe even a more understanding Suzanne. What do you think?

    Moving on from there, Michelle recalls a recent travel delay. Still frustrated and worked up about it, she listens in as Suzanne shares some important takeaways for future travel.

    These topics, and some general chit chat, will bring this episode to an end. However, before their ‘cheers’, Michelle will share this week’s ‘Something to Sip on'. OJO's 'Something to Sip on' is always a featured quote intended to inspire reflection and continued contemplation.
