In this week’s episode of Orange Juice Optional, Suzanne and Michelle get real about the ways we try to fill life’s empty spaces — whether it’s emotional eating, drinking, or spending.

From the lure of slot machines to the shock of not recognizing someone you haven’t seen in years, this episode explores how habits, time, and emotion shape who we become.

With humor, honesty, and heart, the ladies remind us that life’s too short to wait for “someday.” It’s time to let go of old patterns, trust ourselves, and finally say yes to what we really want.

We hope you enjoy this episode…and until next week everyone - stay authentic to who you are!

Cheers!!

Knowing that there are other people going through this process, Suzanne shares some valuable pointers that she has learned the hard way.
