"Actually, you know what" is a story/experience telling podcast where Stephany (aka Steggy) dives into relationships, self-growth, and all of the lessons learned (and not learned) along the way. Humor, honesty, and chaos is promised. Think of it like chatting with your best friend over a glass of wine: sometimes funny, sometimes deep, always real. Joined often by her partner-in-crime Mal, this is your space to laugh, reflect, heal, and feel a little less alone in the messy journey of figuring life out.
