I grew up idolizing The Wolf of Wall Street.
The money.
The mansion.
The girl.
I didn’t want a relationship—I wanted Naomi.
Years later, I lived out a version of that exact fantasy…And realized I had become the villain I once admired.
Today, I sit down with Dr. Nadine Macaluso, the real-life Naomi and ex-wife of Jordan Belfort, to expose what the movie left out.
We talk about:
This isn’t just about Jordan. It’s about you. Me. And the fantasy that almost ruined us. Watch until the end—you’ll never see the movie the same way again.
Dr. Nadine Macaluso, known to her patients as Dr. Nae, is the real-life inspiration behind Naomi Belfort's character in "The Wolf of Wall Street." She survived a turbulent eight-year marriage to Jordan Belfort, marked by abuse, greed, and trauma.
Following her experiences, Dr. Macaluso relocated to California. Her journey of trauma and healing inspired her to return to school at age 39, where she earned her Master's in counseling and a Ph.D. in somatic psychotherapy. She further specialized with a two-year postdoctoral training in the Neuro-affective Relational Model (NARM)
