Becoming Heart Strong isn’t about what you’ve built or what broke you—it’s about who you’ve become. Hosted by Jess Lindberg, this podcast invites leaders, founders, and everyday changemakers into honest conversations about the challenges that shape us—and the strength we forge through them. These aren’t surface-level interviews. They’re vulnerable, grounded, and real. We talk about the losses, pivots, breakthroughs, and decisions that transformed not just someone’s path, but their character and lives. Because it’s not what happened to you or what you’ve accomplished that defines you—it’s who you choose to become, and what you create from the hard things. Every episode goes beyond the story to offer tools, strategies, and insights—especially from experts—to help you grow stronger in your own life. You’ll leave with not just inspiration, but practical ways to take your next step. If you’re ready to grow through what you go through, lead with heart, and live with deeper courage, this show is for you.

Meena has spent the last 27 years caring for some of the sickest children in the United States at the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit at Boston Children’s Hospital. She’s a wife, mother, dear friend of many, and a breast cancer survivor. Jessica and Meena met over a decade ago when Meena was a primary nurse for Jessica’s son Ethan during his year-long hospital stay.
In this episode, Meena and Jessica discuss hope. Where can we find it? Why does it matter, and how can we find it in the midst of dire circumstances?
They settle on the idea that hope is defiance. It’s bravely facing your challenge and believing in good things despite what’s in front of us. But hope is not denial, and they discuss the idea of staying hopeful and honest at the same time.
Meena shares her perspective as a nurse, patient, and mother. Her beautiful and wise perspective invites you to face difficult circumstances and be present, grateful, and hopeful.
