1153. The Cost of Being Married to The Wolf Of Wall Street w/ Ex-Wife Dr. Nadine Macaluso

Hey Heal Squad! Today we’re joined by Dr. Nadine Macaluso, the real-life inspiration behind Naomi in The Wolf of Wall Street. But her true story goes far beyond Hollywood... Nadine shares with us the story of being married to Jordan Belfort and how she found herself trapped in a volatile, abusive relationship that nearly cost her everything. Nadine opens up about surviving trauma bonds, coercive control, and the hidden toll toxic love can take on your mental and physical health. She shares how therapy, education, and the unwavering support of her late mother helped her escape, and why she believes chronic stress from years of abuse contributed to her later battle with cancer. Now a psychotherapist and author of Run Like Hell, Nadine is helping others recognize red flags, trust their gut, and reclaim their power. Tune in and take back your power, you are not alone! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS Toxic love leaves scars on your health. Chronic stress from abusive relationships doesn’t just hurt emotionally, it can weaken your body and even contribute to disease. Trauma bonds are powerful, but not permanent. Understanding coercive control and manipulation is the first step to breaking free and reclaiming your life. Support systems save lives. Whether it’s family, therapy, or community, healing starts when you let others walk alongside you through the hardest chapters. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealdrnadine/?hl=en Website: https://drnae.com/ Download the First Chapter of Dr. Nae’s new book: https://heal.drnae.com/giveaway-book-a?utm_campaign=bf&utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=podcast&utm_keyword=book Book mentioned in the episode: https://www.amazon.com/Women-Who-Love-Psychopaths-Relationships/dp/0984172807 ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos’ passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.
