146: I Was Married to the "Wolf of Wall Street" - Breaking Trauma Bonds and Thriving with Dr. Nadine Macaluso

Smart Dating Academy - The Podcast

I’m beyond thrilled to have Dr. Nadine Macaluso (Dr. Nae, as I call her!). on today’s episode! Dr. Nae’s story is nothing short of jaw-dropping — she was married to The Wolf of Wall Street himself, Jordan Belfort. But this conversation isn’t just about her past; it’s about her incredible journey of survival, healing, and growth. Dr. Nae has taken what she’s learned from that chapter of her life and is using it to help others break free from toxic relationships and trauma bonds (she went back to school and got her doctorate as part of her journey to help herself and others).
We had such an amazing chat, and I know you’re going to love it! Dr. Nae has been through it all, and she’s come out the other side stronger, wiser, and ready to share her insights on how to stop repeating old patterns and start thriving in healthier relationships.
We talked about:
Her experience with trauma bonds and why we keep picking the same type of partner
How to break free from unhealthy patterns and build a stronger sense of self
What it really takes to heal after trauma and thrive in love again
Why choosing healthier partners isn’t just about avoiding red flags, but learning to trust yourself
The power of resilience and how to bounce back from hardship
I can’t wait for you to hear this episode! Dr. Nae’s story is powerful, and her advice is game-changing if you’ve ever struggled with toxic relationships.
