Hear it in context
Notice where the phrase sounds natural.
After dinner, we had a meaningful conversation about our future plans.
In my opinion, having a meaningful conversation with friends or family helps to build stronger relationships and understand each other better.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: We did a meaningful conversation.
Say: We had a meaningful conversation.
You HAVE a conversation, not 'do' or 'make' one.
Which sounds natural?
Tap the one a native speaker would say.
Natives 'have a meaningful conversation'; 'engage in a conversation of significance' is essay-speak.
