    Dr. Nadine Macaluso On How To Spot Narcissistic Abuse, Recognize Manipulation & Break Free From Toxic Relationships

    #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.   For Detailed Show Notes visit TheBossticks.com   To connect with Dr. Nadine Macaluso click HERE   To connect with Lauryn Bosstick click HERE   To connect with Michael Bosstick click HERE   To Shop The Skinny Confidential click HERE   Head to our ShopMy page HERE and LTK page HERE to find all of the products mentioned in each episode.   Visit https://drnae.com to learn more about Dr. Nadine Macaluso, get necessary resources, join her healing community, and read her book, Run Like Hell.   Visit http://istandwithmypack.org to support I Stand With My Pack's (ISWMP) mission by donating or adopting.

    Dr. Natalie Crawford On What Your Hormones Reveal About Your Health, Fertility & The Habits That Matter Most

    #1,020: Join us as we sit down with Dr. Natalie Crawford – double board-certified OB/GYN and reproductive endocrinologist specializing in fertility and reproductive health, host of the podcast As a Woman, and author of the bestselling book, The Fertility Formula. As the co-founder of Fora Fertility, as well as the CEO and co-founder of Learn at Pinnacle, a medical education network, Dr. Natalie Crawford has built her career around helping people better understand their hormones, reproductive health, and the signals their bodies are giving them — with the belief that you can't make decisions on data you don't know. In this episode, Dr. Natalie Crawford breaks down why fertility is a reflection of overall health and how both men and women can take a more proactive approach at every stage of life. We discuss her five non-negotiables for supporting fertility, the everyday habits that influence egg and sperm quality, and what your hormones may reveal about your reproductive health. Dr. Crawford explains what men need to know about testosterone and sperm health, what women can learn from AMH levels and ovarian reserve, and the realities of egg freezing, IVF, and the fertility challenges so many couples face. With an understanding that every fertility journey is different and not everything is within our control, this conversation is about replacing fear and uncertainty with knowledge, navigating challenges with greater support and compassion, and feeling more empowered to make informed decisions about your reproductive future, no matter which stage of life you are in.   For Detailed Show Notes visit TheBossticks.com   To connect with Dr. Natalie Crawford click HERE   To connect with Lauryn Bosstick click HERE   To connect with Michael Bosstick click HERE   Head to our ShopMy page HERE and LTK page HERE to find all of the products mentioned in each episode.   To learn more about Dr. Natalie Crawford visit https://www.nataliecrawfordmd.com.
