Air Date: February 5, 2026
Theme:
Mystic Michaela introduces and unpacks a new "aura vocab" term, "You Should Too Blue", which describes a toxic mentality rooted in projecting one’s own past pain and suffering as a necessary blueprint for others. The episode explores the nuances between this mindset and the "Victim Blue," discusses the broader societal ramifications, and examines healing alternatives rooted in empathy and growth.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Introduction of a New Aura Vocab: "You Should Too Blue"

• [00:08–01:25]
  • Michaela and Scotty discuss the importance of coining new aura terms to quickly and pointedly identify certain personality or energy types.
  • "You Should Too Blue" is introduced to label a specific, recurring energy pattern Michaela observes: people expecting others to suffer because they themselves have suffered.
  • Quote:

    "There's somebody who thinks other people should suffer because they suffered. And they think, like, the replication of the suffering gives them some sort of validation subconscious."
    – Michaela [00:27]

2. Differentiating "You Should Too Blue" from "Victim Blue"

• [01:31–04:16]

  • "Victim Blue" is an empathic, ego-driven reaction where an individual sees themselves as wronged or victimized by others' actions, often offloading emotional responsibility.
  • "You Should Too Blue" goes further; it is the insistence that others suffer as you did, seeing personal pain as a rite of passage, and validation of one’s own worth or resilience.
  • Quote:

    "Victim blue is when something happens that makes you feel bad, and then you get upset that you feel bad. ... You get mad at the person who was part of that feeling."
    – Michaela [01:58]
    "You should too blue is somebody who feels like because something happened to them, it has to happen to you, to other people. So, like, their suffering is a blueprint for how things should happen."
    – Michaela [09:41]

• Everyday family examples are hilariously and honestly shared (Scotty’s story about wanting to continue biking his daughter to school, [02:54–04:10]), showcasing "Victim Blue".

3. Manifestations of "You Should Too Blue" in Society

• [04:16–05:19, 09:41–15:23]
  • The "You Should Too Blue" mentality is often seen in parenting, workplaces, politics, and systemic practices.
  • Examples include:
    • “I paid off my student loans, so you should too.”
    • “I endured workplace harassment and survived, so why change the system?”
    • “No one helped me, so why should others get help?”
  • Michaela notes that this mindset is particularly common among people disconnected from their empathy and sometimes within political rhetoric.

4. The Spiritual & Psychological Roots

• [15:24–18:23]
  • "Blues" when balanced are natural healers and givers, but when acting from unhealed trauma or ego, manifest "Victim Blue" or "You Should Too Blue".
  • The root of "You Should Too Blue":
    • Suffering is mistaken as a virtue or badge of honor, rather than something traumatic that needs healing.
    • The person may believe their suffering is necessary for strength and thus should be universally shared.
  • Quote:

    "They see suffering as their virtue versus a traumatic event that needs to be processed."
    – Michaela [13:31]

5. Societal Systems and 3D Programming

• [18:24–21:10]
  • Michaela frames "You Should Too Blue" as an ego-driven, 3D societal program:
    • The ego clings to suffering and sameness as a means of exerting control and preventing growth.
    • This mindset actively inhibits broader social progress and healing.
  • Quote:

    "You should, too. Blue Logic is 3D programming... It's ego societal programming. ... The ego loves a society of very, like, this or that, right or wrong—very no gray areas."
    – Michaela [20:04]

6. The Need for Validation and Trauma Bonding

• [21:11–26:44]
  • Those in "You Should Too Blue" mindsets often experienced abandonment or a lack of support, leading to internalized unworthiness.
  • They seek to relate and bond with others through shared or replicated suffering.
  • Examples range from relatively benign (parenting stories) to the extremely dark (even referencing cycles of family abuse and hazing).
  • Quote:

    "It's also a way to connect to other people through trauma. ... So you need other people to be in that same vibration as you so that you're like, okay, I can relate to you now."
    – Michaela [22:58]

7. Breaking the Pattern and Healing Alternatives

• [26:45–28:58]
  • Naming and identifying the "You Should Too Blue" pattern is the first step toward neutralizing its power.
  • Validation, compassion, reframing suffering as an impetus for positive change—these are healthier alternatives.
  • Quote:

    "That's the only thing we can do, is let people know that, you know, your suffering isn't a blueprint and it's not something that has to be replicated for you to heal."
    – Michaela [28:28]

  • She expresses admiration for her community members who break these cycles, advocate for others, and turn past pain into compassion rather than perpetuating old blueprints.
