It’s October, which is Domestic Violence Awareness month… so for today’s #FBF we’ll be revisiting the episode of the one and only Dr Nadine Macaluso. “Doctor Nay - as her TikTok audience of over 100k know her - went through her own harrowing journey when she endured a high profile, high drama marriage … and today helps others find their strength to evaluate & escape toxic situations of their own.

As a young model living in New York City, Nadine Macaluso was “in” with the glamorous crowd of the 80’s and 90’s supermodel era, including the likes of Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell. It was during this time that she was swept off her feet and charmed by a powerful man who seemed to be able to give her everything…

She married Jordan Belfort — a.k.a. The Wolf of Wall Street — taking her on a journey through hell and back, including abuse, a capsized yacht, and a fraud so big they’d made a blockbuster movie about it. 

In today’s episode, she describes how with the lavish high life came frightening lows…recounting the exact moment she knew that she needed to free herself from her marriage. 

Now with her own practice, Dr. Nadine has found purpose in helping others escape abusive relationships. Tune in for a wild ride and some tips for identifying red flags, the telltale signs of a narcissist, and how to know if you’re in a trauma bond (and when to get out).
