Ep. 1,026: Join us as we sit down with Dr. Nadine Macaluso – therapist specializing in trauma healing and personal transformation, and author of Run Like Hell. Her life inspired Margot Robbie’s character, Naomi Belfort, in The Wolf of Wall Street, but the Hollywood story was only one chapter. After leaving her marriage to Jordan Belfort, she earned her doctorate and built a career helping others recognize manipulation, break free from abusive relationships, and rebuild their self-worth. In this episode, Dr. Nae gets real about trauma bonds, the subtle signs of narcissistic abuse, and how manipulation can keep you trapped in a relationship long after you recognize something is wrong. She breaks down love bombing, coercive control, reactive abuse, and the psychology behind why these relationships are so difficult to leave. Dr. Nae shares how to recognize narcissistic patterns, the “gray rock” method, and what it takes to safely break the cycle and reclaim your life. This is a conversation about trusting yourself, understanding relationship dynamics, and recognizing when it's time to run like hell.
