    A DEEPER PODCAST - Dr. Nadine Macaluso - From Minor to Major

    Dr. Nadine Macaluso From Minor to Major A clinical psychologist shares her story of resilience and purpose, and emerging from the role of a minor player in someone else’s story, to a major force for healing and growth for herself and others. With special guest, clinical psychologist and author Dr. Nadine Macaluso "I partied like a rock star, lived like a king." So writes Jordan Belfort, a self-described "former member of the middle class," who struck gold with his memoir, The Wolf of Wall Street. While many of us are familiar with the film and the protagonist’s sensational  real-life rags-to-riches-to-prison trajectory, most of us know nothing about what became of the young wife … how she navigated the sudden, unanticipated changes in her own and her children’s lives. In this episode of A Deeper Podcast, I talk with Dr. Nadine Macaluso, trauma bond expert, the former wife of the real-life wolf of Wall Street, and the author of Run Like Hell: A Therapist’s Guide to Recognizing, Escaping, and Healing from Trauma Bonds. She is here to share her story… not of surviving, but of moving forward with courage and grace, and of creating a life of purpose, meaning, and connection for herself and her family.
