• 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!!
