Julianne Michelle Invites New Yorkers to an Unmissable Evening of Hope, Healing, and Glamour: A Cocktail Reception Benefiting Mommy’s Heart
When elegance meets empathy, stars don’t just shine—they illuminate paths to healing. On September 18th, 2025, acclaimed actress and humanitarian Julianne Michelle invites you to join her and a constellation of changemakers at a truly meaningful and glamorous charity event in New York City. Set against the upscale charm of the Upper East Side, this exclusive Cocktail Reception to Benefit Mommy’s Heart promises more than a fabulous evening—it promises transformation, conversation, and heartfelt connection.
With her signature blend of Hollywood sophistication and social consciousness, Julianne Michelle is championing this intimate gathering, shining her spotlight on a cause that is too often left in the shadows—support for protective mothers navigating the legal system after surviving domestic abuse. Mommy’s Heart, Inc., the nonprofit beneficiary of the evening, provides pro bono legal and mental health support to mothers who have been silenced or punished by the family court system for simply trying to protect their children.
“I believe that every mother deserves to be heard, protected, and empowered,” Julianne said in a personal message ahead of the event. “This evening is about love, justice, and giving back. It’s not just a party—it’s a platform for change.”
A Night of Compassion and Conversation with Dr. Nadine Macaluso
At the heart of the evening is a rare and riveting conversation with Dr. Nadine Macaluso, the celebrated psychotherapist, author, and former model whose life story inspired characters in The Wolf of Wall Street. Known for her transparency, healing insight, and advocacy for trauma survivors, Dr. Nadine will open up about her own journey and the systemic changes needed to support mothers and children in crisis.
Her powerful voice—and her fierce intelligence—will bring guests into an intimate, soul-stirring dialogue about resilience, recovery, and what it means to protect those who need it most.

A Cause That Deserves the Spotlight
Mommy’s Heart is a 501(c)(3) organization doing extraordinary work in a critically underserved area. Founded to provide pro bono legal support and trauma-informed therapy to protective mothers, it fills a dangerous void in a broken system. With cases of court-ordered child custody going to abusers due to financial imbalance or legal manipulation, Mommy’s Heart stands as a vital lifeline.
Every dollar raised at the event will go directly toward funding legal representation, therapy services, and advocacy efforts. For survivors, this is more than support—it’s survival.
Julianne Michelle: More Than a Star
A brilliant force both on screen and in life, Julianne Michelle has earned acclaim for roles in The Girl From the Naked Eye, Awakened, and Apartment 1303, among many others. But her work off-screen may be her most powerful yet. With an Ivy League education, a background in public policy, and tireless commitment to justice, she has become a champion for family court reform and domestic violence awareness.
Her decision to amplify Mommy’s Heart is deeply personal and politically urgent. “There are thousands of mothers across this country living in fear every day,” Julianne says. “We need to stop punishing women for trying to protect their children. We need to start listening.”
