Release Date: November 13, 2025
Host: Mystic Michaela
Guest: Scotty

Episode Overview

In this episode, Mystic Michaela delves into the rarely discussed “tricolor aura” phenomenon: when someone authentically expresses three aura colors instead of the more common one or two. Through spirited exchanges with Scotty, Michaela explains the dynamics, challenges, and nuances of having a tri-color aura, compares authentic and inauthentic aura expressions, and unpacks how these energetic blends affect personality, relationships, and life decisions. The hosts also offer practical tips for tricolors, peppered with relatable humor and personal stories.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Introduction to Tricolor Auras

• Tricolor = Three Distinct Energies
  Most people display one or two aura colors, but some authentically have three. This can lead to a unique, sometimes complicated, energetic experience.
  • “The problem when you're a tricolor is everything's a great idea...it's very hard for them to put themselves on paths or directions.” (B – Mystic Michaela, 02:02)
• Circular Thinking
  Tricolor individuals tend to process life in non-linear, looping, or “circular” patterns, rather than straightforward, logical progressions.
  • “When I read a tricolor aura person, it's...circular. That's the only way I can describe it.” (B, 03:54)

2. What Is It Like to Be a Tricolor?

• Indecision and Internalized Struggle
  Tricolors often wrestle with indecision and can feel like they’re “doing everything wrong” because their process doesn’t follow societal norms.
  • “A lot of times tricolor auras internalize, ‘oh, my gosh, I'm doing everything wrong. Nothing I do is right.’” (B, 05:13)
• Dominant Color Shifts
  While one color might lead in certain situations (like work vs. relationships), the dominant energy is fluid and can change depending on context or life stage.
  • “Your dominant color can...switch...based on so many things, most importantly your programming.” (B, 06:06)

3. Tricolor vs. Wearing an Inauthentic Color

• Tricolor Authenticity
  All three energies feel genuine. If a color feels forced or linked with anxiety/discomfort, it’s an “inauthentic” color—borrowed for survival, not truly part of the aura.
  • Personal Share: Michaela describes wearing yellow inauthentically for years due to life pressures, leading to stress and anxiety.
    • “I had an anxiety condition daily. I was not okay. That's not natural.” (B, 10:55)
  • “When you're your authentic colors...all your energies feel good.” (B, 11:37)

Telltale Differences

• Authentic tri-colors feel natural and empowering when expressed.
• Inauthentic colors bring discomfort, stress, or are situation-specific (e.g., only at work).

4. Aura Combinations: The Three Main Tricolor Categories

[18:44–38:00]

4.1. Two Logic Colors + One Empath Color

• Examples: Green-Yellow-Blue or Red-Green-Blue
• Traits: Productive, rarely recognize themselves as empaths, emotions are “quieter,” may struggle accessing vulnerability.
• “Christmas Tree Guys”: Red-Green-Blue, often in men socialized to serve and provide (see also Ep. 229).
  • “They are most concerned over their own happiness with being a provider, a helper, a caretaker.” (B, 22:09)

4.2. One Logic Color + Two Empath Colors

• Most Common Tricolor Type
• Examples: Yellow-Purple-Blue, Red-Purple-Blue
• Traits: Logic color often dominates professionally/familially, but can lead to burnout. Empath colors sometimes act out unconsciously (“purple bombs” or emotional/health issues).
  • “They tend to get tired in their logic colors. This is where I see the most burnout.” (B, 25:54)
  • “You can get really stuck in these situations and then look around and be like, I am exhausted, but I got nothing done.” (B, 29:29)

4.3. Three Empath Colors (Triple Empath Tricolor)

• Examples: Purple-Turquoise-Indigo
• Traits: Extremely emotionally driven, process using “logic of emotion,” struggle with face-value communication, energy can feel overwhelming to others.
  • “If you're all three empath colors, one will prevail...” (B, 32:44)
  • “There's emotional logic...emotion is logic, too, and it is just as important.” (B, 34:43)
• Difficult to Spot from Afar:
  • “You probably need to know the person a little bit better if you're gonna be able to get it.” (A – Scotty, 37:12)

5. Spotting Tricolors and Everyday Examples

• Scotty’s Analogies:
  Recognizing tricolors in the wild, like at an ice cream shop (indecisive, sampling everything), or when overwhelmed by restaurant menus with too many options.
  • “If you have a tricolor in front of you online [at Baskin Robbins], are they going to be the ones that are, like, test tasting every flavor...?” (A, 41:03)
• Advice: Limit choices to avoid frustration, or make decisions ahead of time if possible.

6. Living with and Supporting Tricolor Energies

Tips for Tricolors (38:11–40:37):

• Decision-Making:
  Don’t rush—give yourself days or weeks to sit with big decisions.
  • “You cannot make a choice right away...it's necessary to sit with things for a day, two days, a week or so.” (B, 38:12)
• Tracking Progress:
  Use a calendar to reflect on feelings and decisions over time, documenting initial and subsequent impressions.
• Embrace the Process:
  Emotional “crash outs” or periods of chaos may be part of your authentic process—own it, and trust you’ll piece things together afterward.
• Perspective:
  Seeing too many possibilities can feel overwhelming, but it’s a gift—“like a bird” who can choose any route, not just the one or two mapped out for you.

Scotty’s Extra Tips (with humor):

• Avoid choice-fatigue environments (like massive menus at Cheesecake Factory or crowded stores).
• Pre-decide options to limit overwhelm (look up menus before arriving).

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Tricolor Reading Experience:
  “When I read a tricolor aura person, it's...circular. Once I start doing the reading for them, the patterns of message are interloping...But then at the end, we'll find some sort of amazing cohesive pattern in like a circular, roundabout way that you'd never see coming.” (Mystic Michaela, 03:54)

• Tricolor Internalization:
  “A lot of times tricolor auras internalize, ‘oh, my gosh, I'm doing everything wrong. Nothing I do is right.’” (Mystic Michaela, 05:13)

• On Wearing an Inauthentic Color:
  “I was actually over planning to the point of like stress...I had an anxiety condition daily. I was not okay. That's not natural.” (Mystic Michaela, 10:55)

• On Choices and Overwhelm:
  “Every idea is a great idea. You can feel unsuccessful or without direction. But honestly, this is a gift. You have an ability to see all pathways, not just one.” (Mystic Michaela, 39:47)
