Episode 297: Double Empath Aura’s Explained
Date: November 6, 2025
Host: Mystic Michaela
Co-host: Scott

Episode Overview

This episode centers on “double empath” aura color combinations—specifically the unique challenges, patterns, and strengths people with two empathic aura colors (indigo, blue, turquoise, pink, purple) experience in a world designed for more “logical” aura combinations (red, yellow, green). Mystic Michaela and Scott compare different double empath combos, offer practical identification tips, and dive into strategies for thriving with these energy patterns, all with their signature warmth and humor.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Double Empath Auras & Societal Challenges

• Society, as structured, doesn’t typically favor double empath aura combos. Empaths often feel out of place because traditional systems reward logic, competition, and “ego projection.”
• These combos are rare among leaders; they’re often overlooked, misunderstood, or even actively marginalized for their sensitivity.

“The society that we’ve created—well, basically white males—is not designed for the double empath.” – Scott (01:00)

“If we had double empath aura color leaders, it would look totally different.” – Michaela (02:43)

• Empath combos may camouflage by wearing “chameleon” auras or develop “get stuff done colors” to better survive in the system.

2. Comparing Double Empath Combos

A. Purple Indigo vs. Purple Blue

• Purple Indigo:

  • More reclusive, mysterious, “witchy.” Holds energy for longer, senses intentions deeply, can seem dark when crossed.
  • Grudges develop more slowly but are deeper.
  • Slightly more formal or tailored in dress, spends more per item.

• Purple Blue:

  • Slightly less isolated, more prone to pettiness but forgives more easily.
  • Grudges are about smaller, surface issues.
  • Lounges more, spends less, owns more clothing items.

“Purple indigos are the more reclusive witch... don’t tick off the purple indigo.” – Michaela (04:20)

B. Turquoise Combos

• Turquoise Purple:

  • Wild, rebellious, intuitive, “van life” vibes, comfortable with nontraditional lifestyles; upcycling, hippie style.
  • Less worried about fitting in.
  • More likely to pull themselves out of codependent dynamics due to purple’s influence.

• Turquoise Blue:

  • Struggles with identity, absorbs others’ energy deeply, can become lost, lonely, needs a personal hobby or “label” for grounding.

• Turquoise Indigo:

  • Reclusive, leans into caregiving roles within family or close-knit circles, finds self-worth through deep care of others.

“Turquoise purples are a little bit more wild and... very go with the flow, hippie-like... most likely to live in a van!” – Michaela (15:36, 15:53)

• Turquoise people often “slip through the cracks,” becoming invisible in group settings.
  • Michaela shares a personal story of her turquoise child being overlooked during a school ceremony. (18:36–21:10)

C. Pink Combos

• Pink Purple:
  • Most impulsive and rebellious; tunnel vision about joy and self-expression.
  • Bold fashion, not age-conscious in style.

“Pink purples just do what they want and that’s why it looks so good on them!” – Michaela (29:30)

• Pink Blue:

  • Sweet, soft, huggable, childlike, introverted. Harder to spot; might be mistaken for a blue or blue-yellow.

• Pink Turquoise & Pink Indigo:

  • Extremely rare, especially in adults.
  • Pink turquoise kids invent independent, imaginative play; both colors are stubborn.
  • Pink indigos are homebody “party for one” pinks—creative at-home rituals and celebrations.

3. Living With a Double Empath Aura: Practical Application

Michaela & Scott share actionable tips:

• You’re not crazy! It’s natural to feel out of step with the world if you’re a double empath.
• Allow for mistakes & quirks. You might do things “backwards,” seem scattered, or not get things right on the first try.

“It’s okay to make mistakes. You might look a little more disheveled to people, you might not get things done the first, second, or third try.” – Michaela (41:20)

• Ask for what you want. Practice speaking up (“You’re too nice. Speak up!” – Scott, 42:18)
• People will attack your best traits. “Own it. Yeah, I am sensitive. Yeah, I am compassionate. That’s 100% correct.” – Michaela (46:30)
• Community is key. Finding or building a group of understanding, similar-energy people is essential.
• Don’t over-empathize with inanimate objects. (E.g., you can put away the Christmas Snoopy—it’ll be okay!)

Practical Takeaways

• If you resonate with two empath (non-logic) colors, you’ll experience the world more intensely; give yourself grace.
• Identify your habits (“grudge holder,” “the unnoticed one,” “the impulsive fashionista”)—it helps with self-understanding and acceptance.
• Don’t let society’s template convince you there’s anything “wrong” with your experience.
• Seek out or create supportive micro-communities. Shared language and validation are vital for emotional survival and thriving as a double empath.
