Welcome to All Parts Welcome.

In this episode, Melissa engages in a heartfelt conversation with Nicole Xenos, a remarkable individual who embodies multiple intersecting identities. Nicole, a multiracial, third-generation, neurodivergent, queer person residing in Boulder, Colorado, is the founder of Painted One Healing, specializing in identity development, interracial couples counseling, and healing from narcissistic abuse.

Melissa and Nicole delve into the intricacies of growing up as interracial individuals and the impact of comments and actions from their parents that unknowingly influenced their self-perception. Nicole courageously shares her personal journey of experiencing narcissistic abuse, which ultimately led her to the profound work she does today.

Together, they explore the importance of embracing all aspects of our identities, even those that may be considered taboo or unwelcome. They discuss the complexities of recognizing and healing from narcissistic abuse, including identifying gaslighting and emotional manipulation within relationships.

Join Melissa and Nicole as they navigate the depths of embracing one's multiracial and multicultural identity, recognizing the impact of narcissistic abuse, and providing tools for healing and self-discovery. Tune in to All Parts Welcome, where we celebrate the strength and resilience that emerges from embracing our unique journeys.
