Why She Stayed

Why She Stayed

Grace Stuart

A podcast where we dive deep into what really goes on inside of domestic violence relationships that makes it so hard to simply "just leave". Through stories of survivors, and practical conversations with guests, I am going to put the microscope back on what the abuser is doing that causes us to become so trapped in the first place, and how each survivor was eventually freed. We will discuss what abusive relationships look like, sound like, and feel like for the purpose of educating and relating to one another in a much needed way.

As a 22-year-old, Nadine never could have understood what she was committing to when marrying Jordan Belfort, the fraudulent stockbroker infamously known as the Wolf of Wall Street.

She returned to school at the age of 39 to become a licensed Psychotherapist and now holds a PhD in Counseling and Somatic Psychology.


Dr. Nadine has her own private practice and has spent the last two years writing her book "Run Like Hell" to help you find hope, healing, and education.
