In this inspiring episode of ABWilson's Heart of the Matter, host Aderonke Bademosi Wilson welcomes the insightful and deeply compassionate Mélinda Cart. Known as a promoter of humanness, introspection leader, and permission giver, Mélinda shares her journey with honesty, vulnerability, and a gentle strength that invites listeners to reflect on their own paths.

Mélinda begins by unpacking what it means to truly embrace our humanness. She reminds us that imperfection is not a flaw, but a natural part of being human and that learning to love ourselves, even when we fall short, is a radical act of self-acceptance. This message threads beautifully into her role as a permission giver, as she describes the transformative power of allowing ourselves to be who we are, to dream freely, and to make conscious choices. In doing so, she contrasts this empowerment with the limiting effects of negative self-talk and withheld permission.

As an introspection leader, Mélinda also dives into her lifelong practice of examining her inner world, an ongoing journey of understanding emotions, reactions, and behaviors. Through this deep internal work, she has cultivated a form of conscious leadership that raises awareness not just of how we affect others, but also how we influence ourselves. Her reflections offer a compassionate roadmap for anyone looking to lead with more awareness and authenticity.

Mélinda generously shares her personal story, including her move from France to Canada and her battle with clinical depression. She speaks candidly about how combining inner work with medical support helped her reconnect with joy and reclaim a sense of enthusiasm for life. One particularly moving part of her journey involves overcoming a deep-seated sense of loneliness through a modality called GeoTran, a breakthrough that now informs her mission to help others find connection and healing.

The conversation also touches on a topic often overlooked: the challenges of perimenopause and menopause. Mélinda opens up about her emotional relationship with food, the process of healing her body and mind, and how inner transformation has been key to sustaining weight loss and overall well-being during this phase of life.

This episode is a heartfelt invitation to embrace imperfection, heal from within, and live with conscious intention. Mélinda Cart’s story is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the life-changing potential of introspection and permission. Whether you’re navigating your own challenges or simply in need of inspiration, her wisdom will leave you feeling seen, supported and empowered.

Tune in to hear Mélinda’s moving journey and uncover practical insights for living a more authentic, joyful life, one grounded in compassion, courage, and self-awareness.
