    Nov 13 2024
    Margot Robbie brought Nadine Macaluso to life in The Wolf of Wall Street, but the real Nadine—now Dr. Nae—is here to tell her own story. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, doctor, and author of Run Like Hell, she guides us through the warning signs of the “Dark Triad” traits: narcissism, machiavellianism, and psychopathy, along with the fourth “Dark Tetrad” trait, sadism. In this episode, she helps us recognize the red flags of love bombing and manipulation. Featuring infamous cases like Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, and Bernie Madoff, we uncover the tools to identify and escape from toxic, pathological relationships. Protect yourself by understanding the psychology behind these manipulative personalities—and knowing when it’s time to “run like hell.”
