The actress stepped away in 2013 to take a two month spiritual sabbatical. As fate had it, two months was destined to be a two and a half year sabbatical journey. Upon Susan's return to her career in early 2015, Oliver's public speaking history brought her into the world of broadcasting as she DJ'd the 9:30a.m. Friday morning show on KCLA FM, an affiliate with XM satellite radio with engineer Lolly Waterman, tunein.com. An opportunity in Brazil arose and Susan left the show for a couple of months to pursue spiritual work in Abadiania, . Although the station voiced they'd welcome Susan back it was her thespian roots and a Peace org. she focused on, booking 40 feature film/television shows at major studios like Fox, WB, Universal, ABC and Raleigh in a short five months when she returned back to the United States in 2015. Due to Susan's lengthy leave of absence she accepted unaccredited roles but gained experience working with such talent as Annette Benning, Helen Hunt, Kerry Washington, Colin Hanks and comedians like Adam Conover and Earnest Adams (Baskets). Susan has performed with notable directors such as Ken Whittingham (Grandfathered, The Office), Andy Ackerman (Seinfeld), Ryan Murphy (Glee, Eat Pray Love), Ben Affleck , and Debbie Allen to name a few.
A former graduate of UCLA for screenwriting, Ms. Oliver has a library of projects evolving pre-production. As a screenwriter, she's been fortunate to contract and work with heroic people. For example, Dr. Shirley McGreal of whom Susan's co-written a feature film drama. Shirley was honored the O.B.E., Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II in 2008 for her selfless service saving the lives of innocent primates against the dangers of illegal poachers and labs. It is common that the repertoire of Oliver's story-lines involve a suggestive movement inspiring peace.

A passion project for the filmmaker is a Peace Energy Foundation she's begun called "Fearless Freedom" that she aspires to parent and assist through its evolution.
