The Akana Ohana podcast is a place where we talk about marriage and what goes on behind closed doors. Marriage is not like the movies... it's hard work and consciously choosing your partner daily. Despite these truths, we hope to encourage couples and singles alike that marriage is an absolute blast and totally worth it! Each week, we'll chat with other couples about their story, struggles, joys, highs and lows. Stephen and Meghan aren't people who enjoy surface level conversations, so be warned - things will get real pretty quick.
Step into a heartfelt, real-life journey as Meghan and Stephen Akana pull back the curtain on where it all began. In this special episode, they share their origin story—tracing their path back to 2020, a year that challenged the world but quietly sparked something extraordinary for them.
With honesty, humor, and the kind of warmth that makes you feel like you’re sitting at the kitchen table with them, Meghan and Stephen reflect on the unexpected turns, shared struggles, and small moments of grace that shaped the foundation of their life together. From early conversations and defining decisions to the dreams they carried into their future, this episode offers an intimate look at how two strong, determined individuals found connection, resilience, and hope during one of the most uncertain times in modern history.
Whether you’re here for inspiration, encouragement, or simply a good love-meets-life story, this origin episode sets the stage for the heart, grit, and togetherness that define the Akanas today.
Join the journey—and get to know the couple behind the story.
