What happens when a woman’s heart finally gets the space to heal? Jason sits down with Melanie Meszaros, co-founder of Heart of a Woman retreats, to talk about the three core desires every woman carries, what fathers can do to protect their daughters, and why restored hearts don’t just change women — they change entire families.

Show Notes
There’s a metaphor I keep coming back to after this conversation: a river that’s been dammed up. The water doesn’t disappear — it just stops flowing. And the world downstream goes dry.
That’s what Melanie Meszaros helped me see about the feminine heart.
Melanie is the co-founder of Heart of a Woman retreats, a certified professional coach, and someone who stumbled into her calling the way most of us do — through a door she didn’t plan to open. She was “voluntold” into this work, and the world is better for it.
In this episode we go deep on:
•The three core desires that shape a woman’s heart — and why wounding hits hardest where longing runs deepest
•What fathers can do right now to speak worth into their daughters (this one hit close to home for me as a dad)
•A word for the mothers who’ve quietly decided their child’s addiction is their fault
•Simple daily rhythms that create space for real heart restoration
•Why three days at an intensive retreat can accomplish what years of small doses can’t
Melanie also shares what happened at her own family’s Sunday dinner after she did her own heart work — and it’s one of the most beautiful moments we’ve had on this show.
