Know Your Aura with Mystic Michaela
Episode 301: The Ultimate Empath Aura Energy Breakdown
Date: December 4, 2025
Host: Mystic Michaela
Podcast Network: Wave Podcast Network
Episode Overview
This episode is a deep dive into "empath aura" color combinations—what they mean, how they present in people, and most importantly, practical tips for getting along with individuals who embody these combinations, especially when they aren't naturally your cup of tea. With Mystic Michaela and her co-host Scotty, listeners learn how empath auras (turquoise, blue, indigo, purple, and sometimes pink) operate emotionally and energetically, how they may clash with others, and ways empathy can inadvertently become a source of relationship friction. The episode is structured around examples, practical advice, and signature warmth and humor. There's also an extended "overtime" segment at the end, featuring a lighthearted but genuinely puzzling paranormal-esque story involving mysterious toilet paper "stamping" in the hosts' home.
Main Themes and Key Discussion Points
1. What Are Empath Aura Combos?
- Michaela clarifies that empath aura colors include turquoise, blue, indigo, purple, and sometimes pink.
- Everyone has two aura colors, and some can have double or even triple empath combinations.
- Empath aura folks absorb, transmit, and reflect emotions intensely, with deeply internalized perspectives and unique personal structures.
"Empath auras all have a very internalized structure of how they think about things. So it does require you going to an emotional side of yourself and stepping in someone else's shoes to see things out of their eyes." — Michaela (01:21)
2. General Strategies for Getting Along with Empath Auras
- You can't approach empath aura individuals with pure logic or rule-following—emotional intelligence and vulnerability are crucial.
- When empath auras clash, emotional spirals can occur; someone has to consciously step back and validate the other.
Breakdown by Empath Aura Combinations
Purple Blue (09:01)
- Traits: Quick to anger, known to hold grudges, can seem inconsiderate (lateness, disregard for rules).
- How to get along: Vulnerability is key. Admit mistakes, be authentic, express your own feelings clearly and humbly.
- Avoid: Using logic or invoking rules—they'll see this as an attempt at control rather than helpfulness.
Notable Quotes:
"Those purple blues, they will hold a grudge... they do know where your buttons are. They figure those out the second they meet you." — Michaela (10:32)
Sample Dialogue:
Scott: "I think I get along pretty well with the purple blue...I think I deal pretty well with them. They don't... that combo doesn't really bother me." (11:05)
Purple Indigo (13:08)
- Traits: Tend to "disappear" emotionally or physically when overwhelmed, wallflowers, avoid closure, misconstrued as rude.
- How to get along: Realize their withdrawal is rarely about you—it's about overstimulation.
- Typical dynamic: Easy to feel "rejected" by their boundaries; may prematurely wall themselves off from relationships.
"It's not necessarily personal. They just got over stimulated... there's a shutdown that can happen." — Michaela (13:14)
Turquoise Purple (20:21)
- Traits: Highly perceptive, quickly target unhealed wounds in others (often without awareness), ask many questions.
- How to get along: If you find yourself triggered, pause and identify what personal wound is coming up. Address it internally; once you've healed or owned it, they move on.
- Potential positives: Can provoke helpful self-analysis if you're open to it.
Memorable Story:
Scott recounts feeling vulnerable about masculinity when his daughter (turquoise purple) innocently commented, "Oh, you're a real man now" after using an axe (23:03).
"Turquoise purples will tend to latch onto somebody... magnify a pain body that they haven't healed the wound on yet." — Michaela (21:24)
"The quicker you wrap your own hands around whatever the crux of the problem is, the sooner this person will honestly start to leave you alone." — Michaela (24:59)
Turquoise Blue (27:19)
- Traits: Extremely sensitive, internalize others' emotional needs but also reflect back issues that need addressing; can be overly apologetic.
- How to get along: Be empathy-forward; acknowledge their kindness, validate their presence, and gently reinforce their positive traits.
- Challenge: Can inadvertently make you feel like the "bad guy" due to their excessive self-questioning or target-like energy.
Turquoise Indigo (29:16)
- Traits: Analytical, may psychoanalyze those around them and construct complex narratives; reflect pain bodies but with an additional layer of cerebral analysis.
- How to get along: Recognize their sensitivity and the fact they're often building stories as a way to protect themselves.
- Behavior: May "ghost" but often circle back with gestures of contrition (e.g., a surprise cupcake at work) (30:56).
"They're kind of like an angry ghost, you know, like they could be living in the parameters of your life. And then every once in a while, they just get like, so annoyed and ticked off, and then they come in with a vengeance towards you." — Michaela (31:35)
Pink Purple (34:29)
- Traits: Magnetic, receive attention easily, often without trying; can inadvertently trigger jealousy or feelings of unfairness.
- How to get along: Don't take it personally; if triggered by the attention they receive, ask what need of yours is unmet.
- "Pink Pass": Recognize and accept their tendency to attract (and enjoy) attention without always reciprocating gestures.
Notable Quotes:
"They won't help you; they won't hurt you. That's kind of my thing with pinks that you have to get along with." — Michaela (34:34)
"Give them the pink pass." — Scott (39:25)
Pink Blue (41:27)
- Traits: Kind and sweet, tend not to stand up for themselves, often oblivious to being taken advantage of.
- How to get along: Understand their passivity is about their worldview, not stubbornness or intentional ignorance. Triggers those who wish they'd advocate for themselves.
- Tip: If you feel annoyed watching others take advantage of them, recognize it’s your discomfort with their boundaries, not necessarily something to fix.
Pink Turquoise (42:44)
- Traits: Rare, especially in adults but more common in pink turquoise children; stubborn in play, prefer their own ways, maintain childlike beliefs longer.
- How to get along (especially with kids): Let them lead, accept their unique way of engaging the world.

Overtime: The Toilet Paper Mystery (47:22–1:04:50)
A light, hilarious, and genuinely perplexing story of possible paranormal activity:
- The family discovers "stamped" toilet paper in each of the bathrooms, with no one admitting to having done it (and no one knowing what "toilet paper stamping" is).
- Various theories emerge: someone in the family did it, a friend from a playdate, paranormal activity, or an intruder with a penchant for toilet paper artistry.
- Odd synchronized events (lights flicker, power outages after asking for signs) add to the mystery.
- They solicit listener help to interpret if it was paranormal, a hidden prank, or something else entirely.
Quote:
"If we take it out that it's not one of the four of us, and not the friend, then it's either paranormal or somehow someone got into the house... I'm picking paranormal." — Scott (62:47)
Episode Takeaway
For anyone navigating relationships with "empath aura" individuals, whether they're coworkers, neighbors, or family you're indifferent toward, the key is empathy, self-inquiry, vulnerability—and sometimes, acceptance that not all triggers are meant to be fixed externally. With humor and self-awareness, the hosts reinforce that aura clashes aren't about good or bad people, but about energetic mismatches and opportunities for personal growth.
