Orange Juice Optional

Auteur(s): Michelle Milne and Suzanne Hueners
  • Résumé

  • 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.

  • But that's my bag!
    Mar 4 2025

    On this week’s episode of Orange Juice Optional:

    Suzanne shares a recent packing frustration that she experienced with her husband. What are your thoughts? Are there boundaries that exist when it comes to ‘your’ suitcase, how you pack it, and what others place in it?

    Following this, the ladies jump into a conversation about their year long ‘Austerity’ program. While Michelle is discovering that her emotions make it difficult to stick to her commitment, Suzanne introduces a few new ground rules that resonate with both of them.

    After discussing these two topics, this episode of OJO will come to a close. 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!!

  • We almost missed Valentine's Day

    Episode Notes

    On this week’s episode of Orange Juice Optional:

    Just realizing that they almost forgot to mention Valentine’s Day, Michelle asks Suzanne some love related questions. Seemingly annoyed that Michelle remembered this day, Suzanne does her best to answer her. Of course, she’ll answer these questions only as Suzanne can - direct and straightforward.

    Towards the end of this episode, the ladies talk about the aging process. This conversation was inspired by a Today Show interview with Paulina Porizkova. While both ladies have some important takeaways from the interview, Michelle realizes that she still has some self-accepting to do when it comes to aging gracefully.

    These two topics and some general chitchat will bring this episode to a close. 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.

  • Oh how the power can shift
    Feb 18 2025

    On this week’s episode of Orange Juice Optional, Suzanne and Michelle discuss the importance of having a morning routine. Being such a routine person, Michelle contemplates why her morning routine is altered by the change in weather or travel to a different time zone. Suzanne, also being a routine person, is perplexed by that revelation.

    Towards the middle of the episode, the ladies shift their discussion to talk about the power shifts found in a business transactions.
