Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Introduction to Mystic Michaela and Aura Reading

• Michaela introduces herself as an aura reader and intuitive, explaining that she has seen auras since childhood.
• She describes the aura as your “energy signature”—an extension of your spiritual body and a reflection of your authentic self.
• Michaela sees color around people and teaches others to be aware of their own auras, even if they can’t literally see them.

“Auras are your energy signature and you can think of them as a personality or an extension of your spiritual body.”
— Mystic Michaela (02:14)

---

2. Michaela’s Origin Story and Family Background

• Michaela shares her background as a fourth-generation intuitive in an Irish Catholic family from Buffalo, NY, where psychic abilities were discussed only in hushed tones.
• Explains how she integrated aura-reading into her career as a middle school Spanish teacher, tailoring teaching methods to students’ aura colors.

“For me, it’s just very normal to see somebody and just notice colors around them… At this point, it’s like looking at someone’s hair color.”
— Mystic Michaela (04:23)

---

3. Aura Reading as a Tool for Understanding Relationships and Personality

• Compares aura reading to the Enneagram and astrology as frameworks for understanding people’s tendencies.
• Discusses how early family relationships shaped her skills in reading and modulating energy to fit in.

---

4. Aura Colors and the Sensitivity Spectrum

• Explains the “indigo child” concept and its loosely connected origins with autism, sensitivity, and generational energies (13:01).
• Describes how aura readings often begin with colors but can expand to receive spiritual messages, mediumship, and guidance on life paths.
• Notes that most people have two dominant aura colors; sometimes trauma or upbringing can suppress or alter them, especially in childhood (25:19).

“Most people have two aura colors. I see eight aura colors. Most people have two, some people have three… The colors don’t change so much as how they’re kind of beat up around you.”
— Mystic Michaela (25:19)

---

5. How Michaela Receives Psychic/Medium Messages

• Describes receiving messages as a mix of images, feelings, and sometimes “voices” from her right side.
• Differentiates between messages from spirit guides, deceased loved ones, and her own thoughts; emphasizes practice in distinguishing them.

“For me, it comes from the right side... There’s like dead people voices, then there’s somebody’s spirit guide voices, and then there's my own brain.”
— Mystic Michaela (18:57, 21:09)

---

6. Skepticism, Confidence, and Reading Ethic

• Rachel praises Michaela’s matter-of-fact, non-convincing approach.
• Michaela shares her “coming out” story—starting as an underground reader, then going public—driven by a friend’s encouragement.

“It’s really scary to kind of like come out of the closet when you’re a reader because everybody’s going to think you’re insane, right?”
— Mystic Michaela (16:33)

---

7. Live Aura Readings: Rachel and Irene

• Rachel’s Aura ([31:18]):
  • “Green kois” (a blend of green and turquoise): skepticism + open-minded woo woo + science; described as “wise woodland, mystical creatures” a la elves or gnomes.
  • Also has purple: creative, artistic, unconventional schedule.
• Irene’s Aura ([35:18]):
  • Red, purple, and deep blue: driven, passionate, self-critical, empathetic (advocate for others more than herself), strong reader of people, struggles with boundaries.

“Green is like science. And turquoise is woo woo. And green koises... can be both... let’s get logical, but why can’t it be spiritual too?”
— Mystic Michaela (31:18)

“Red and purples are very motivated, passionate, self-motivated, hard on yourself… your own competition is you yesterday.”
— Mystic Michaela to Irene (36:19)

• Both hosts share their surprise that previous aura photography matched Michaela's readings, questioning whether aura photography is a scam or actually picked up on real energies ([38:18]).

---

8. Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On family revelations:

  “If your mom’s a psychic, what was the name of my childhood dog?... She said, it’s Coco. C-O-C-O-A... He screamed like a girl. He couldn’t even handle it.”
  — Mystic Michaela (28:24)

• On being an empath:

  “Turquoise will pick up your emotional spills.”
  — Mystic Michaela, joking with Rachel (44:59)

• On aura changes:

  “We don’t make it out of childhood, sometimes, with all of our aura colors. And that has to do with trauma, programming, meaning how your parents raised you. And society will kick your butt.”
  — Mystic Michaela (25:19)

[Podcast Host Rachel Dratch]

Welcome to Woo Woo with Rachel Dratch, the podcast that explores the unexplained with humor and curiosity.

[Rachel Dratch]

Hello and welcome to Woowoo with Rachel Dratch, joined as always by my pal, Irene Bremis. Hi, Irene. Hello, sweetie. Hi, Irene. This is exciting. We have a very Woo Woo guest. She has her own podcast and I discovered her because she reached out to me and I listened to her podcast for like a minute. I was like sold. Because I was very into this podcast. Please welcome Mystic Michaela.

[Irene Bremis]

Hi.

[Mystic Michaela]

Thank you so much for having me.

[Rachel Dratch]

Hi, Mikayla. Hi, Mystic Michaela. Thank you for being here.

[Mystic Michaela]

Hi, everybody. Hi. Thank you for having me. This is so awesome. This is so woo woo and way up my alley. So awesome.

[Rachel Dratch]

Very excited to talk to you. Now, the first thing you mentioned is that you read auras, so that was sort of your headlining news. But then if you listen to the podcast, there's just all sorts of woo woo from all sorts of places. But is aura like, is that your main sort of medium or that's just your entry drug? Or how does this all work, really?

[Mystic Michaela]

Yeah. That's funny. Yeah, I think every intuitive has their, like, you call it a gateway, their entry drug. Like it's true. That is my touchstone. So when I do a reading on somebody, I'll start by seeing the colors around them. I've always seen colors around people my entire life. And that's where I start. I call it the door. So I'll walk in the door and then all this other stuff will come in and follow that. But auras are your energy signature and you can think of them as a personality or an extension of your spiritual body. And for me, I just see them in colors, but everyone feels them. And I'm big on teaching people to know Their aura, even if they can't see them. You can definitely read auras.

[Rachel Dratch]

I love this because when I was listening, I was starting to imagine the people in my life and what their auras were. And I don't know, I felt like I was right, but who knows. But I was just listening to your descriptions. I was like, oh, I see this person as this. And then you would say what it was and I was like, yes. So I'd like to fancy that I'm gonna be an amateur aura reader, but I would wanna hear your origin story. Your origin story. And then yes, that's trademarked. That's trademarked. And then I also wanna tell you a funny story that Irene and I tried to go to. This like kind of bullshit or a reading thing and we have to tell you or a photography and we want to ask you about that. But before we get to our little field trip we took that was kind of a bust. How did you like as a kid? Oh, I think on your podcast you said you're like a fourth generation intuitive or something. I want to hear all about that and how when you were a kid you just kind of knew that you had these gifts. And I just want to say that one thing I loved about your podcast is you're very. Well, people will hear this here, but you're very sort of matter of fact about like this is just what I see. And like you're not trying to convince anyone. You actually don't sound woo woo at all when you're talking about this stuff. So you just sound like, oh yeah, this is how I see people and that's how I see the world. And I love that because you're not like, you're not trying to convince anyone. And it was very common sense. So I really loved that.

[Mystic Michaela]

But anyway, thanks for noticing that about me. Yeah. Cause my whole thing with the woo woo is honestly, it's not, it's not woo woo. It's very just normal and we all have access to it. So yeah, so I come from a lot of the woo woo. My whole family. Generationally psychic runs in the family. We're Irish Catholic, we're from Buffalo, New York. And so it was kind of like the Catholic thing plus the psychic thing. So very like, oh, you know, this isn't. It just did not mesh. But it still was part of the family. So we were all kind of hush hush about it. But growing up, growing up, I always saw colors around people. Like that's my thing. It's funny even for being in a family of Psychics. Nobody else kind of saw what I saw. I think that's my little thing. And it's kind of like encanto. Everybody has their own thing in the house, if you're familiar with that movie. So mine was the aura thing. But anyways. But I always saw colors around people, and for me, it's not abnormal. It's like smelling or, you know, when you find out somebody. Some people have interior monologues and some don't, and you're like, what? You don't have that? You know, for me, it's just very normal to see somebody and just notice colors around them. And honestly, it's at this point, like, looking at someone's hair color, their outfit, I don't notice it unless it's different or it's a little weird or it's off. It's off the norm. But I didn't want to do any of this stuff because all this judgment comes with it, and. And I just didn't want to touch it. And I went to school. I got my bachelor's and master's in Spanish education. So I was teaching middle school, middle school kids Spanish, and the aura thing started to click. I was like, wait a second. I can teach kids based on their aura colors. So I had so many teaching modalities, all secret, all, like, based in my auras. So yellows need grammar lessons or purples, because yellows are very much about structure and organization. Or, like, with the purple kids, they love to act it out. So I would be like, okay, we're doing in the restaurant today. And they learn things better when you do it through their aura colors. So I was working with this and playing with this and having a great time doing it, but then it was deeper. So I was getting messages like I'm getting now. Their parents are coming in for conferences, and it's like, oh, you know, you're teaching your kid. You're treating your kid like he's a blue, but he's really a green, you know, like that, and that's why he's acting out. So I was getting, like, really deep spiritual life stuff, and I couldn't ignore it. And I realized that these auras or these energy signatures around us are what they're really about, is life path, you know, being authentic, following who you are and working with that instead of changing yourself to fit in. And that is where this was born. You know, the aura thing.

[Rachel Dratch]

Love that.

[Podcast Host Rachel Dratch]

The older I get, the more intentional.

[Rachel Dratch]

I try to be about the way.

[Podcast Host Rachel Dratch]

I live, eat, and take care of my body. I'm also trying to keep up on my protein intake and now I found a protein snack that helps me live intentionally. That's Mosh bars. Mosh, which you may have heard about on Shark Tank, was founded by Maria Shriver and her son Patrick Schwarzenegger with a simple mission to create a conversation about brain health through food education and research. Maria's father suffered from Alzheimer's, so hence her mission. And she and Patrick have dedicated themselves to finding ways to help other families get dealing with this debilitating disease. I mean, most everyone knows a family affected by it, if not your own. MASH joined forces with the world's top scientists and functional nutritionists to go beyond your average protein bar. Each Mach bar is made with ingredients that support brain health like Ashwagandha, lion's mane, collagen and omega 3s plus a game changing brain boosting ingredient you won't find in any other bar. Mosh bars also actually taste great and come in nine mouth watering flavors including three new plant based flavors. Chocolate chip cookie, Hazelnut chocolate chip and Peanut chocolate chip.

[Rachel Dratch]

Now I tried a few of these.

[Podcast Host Rachel Dratch]

For research purposes of course and I.

[Rachel Dratch]

Gotta say, thumbs up Also my son, my now 15 year old son swiped a few on his way to a workout and he also gave him thumbs up. He's like oh yeah, I tried those.

[Podcast Host Rachel Dratch]

I really liked them.

[Rachel Dratch]

That was my 15 year old boy voice. But anyways, he liked the peanut butter crunch and the cookie dough crunch, those were his faves. I loved the chocolate brownie crunch because I like all things chocolate and it was not too sweet, which I really liked about it. So I could see working these into.

[Podcast Host Rachel Dratch]

My day as a quick protein source.

[Rachel Dratch]

But here's the best part.

[Podcast Host Rachel Dratch]

To make you feel good, Mosh donates a portion of all proceeds from your order to fund gender based brain health research through the women's Alzheimer's movement. Why gender based? Well, 2/3 of all Alzheimer's patients are women and Mosh is working closely to close the gap between women's and men's health research.

[Rachel Dratch]

[Rachel Dratch]

This reminds me a little bit. We've talked about the Enneagram on here, which I never really understand. Amy Poehler is very into it. She came on here and talked about it, and whenever I'm hanging out with her, she's like, oh, that's cause they're a nine, they're an eight. I never really get it, but this. I don't know. I can, like, grasp onto this and. And it's sort of the same thing. It's like, this person's gonna respond to this type of treatment or this type of interaction, whereas this person needs something really different. So I love that. What about when you were little? Did you see these? What was your first memory of having any sort of. I don't know.

[Mystic Michaela]

I remember my mom being just purple and connecting. Even now, my mom is purple red. And every time I see purple red women, like, I was like, oh, that's like my mom. Because you can go back into your kid frame of mind. I think a lot of us can do that. And I remember thinking like, oh, that's like, mom, so I understand her. And then also making associations with other aura colors. Like, my dad was green. So, okay, green people are, you know, a little bit methodical or systematic or this is how you have to speak to them. Or my grandmother was yellow. So I'm like, oh, okay. Well, yellow's like, process or. Or don't come scattered. Come with a plan. That kind of. So I remember learning how to modulate my own behavior to fit into other people's needs all the time.

[Rachel Dratch]

Oh, wow.

[Mystic Michaela]

Which is hard. And then realizing, like, okay, this is how I have to fit in so they understand me. So even to this day. And I think that helps me a lot. It helped me a lot as a teacher, and it helps me a lot right now in doing the work I do. Trying to help people live their authentic lives through their energy colors is just kind of, you know, let me see things from your perspective and walk it. Walk it a different way with you or whatnot, so you can see that for yourself. But, yeah, I remember seeing colors around people, but just using it to fit in and to make them feel good or make me feel connected to them.

[Irene Bremis]

You know, how autistic Children are referred to as indigo children. Is that their aura that they're referring to?

[Mystic Michaela]

Yeah, that was like a term developed and, oh, my name's at the tip of my tongue by a woman who. She developed that term. I think she wrote a book about it or something. And so that was her way of describing, I think, a generation of energy that was coming in. So when I talk about indigo, I talk about the aura color, and for me it's different. So it's like. Yeah, but similarities with autism and indigo, by the way, is a lot. Like, when I read somebody who's on the spectrum, they're usually extremely sensitive. And indigos are very sensitive, meaning the bright lights are sensory or I'm indigo, or other people's feelings and other people's energy, and they can get very overstimulated quickly or whatnot. And I feel like there are similarities in that way, but that's just. I have like, my own definitions for things.

[Rachel Dratch]

Okay, wow. And when you say that you do a reading, does. Are your readings based solely in, like, you're doing an aura reading or do you have like, I don't know, predictive powers in your. In your sort of toolkit? Or is it. Is it mainly the auras?

[Mystic Michaela]

So when I do a reading, I sit down with somebody and I look at their picture, you know? Cause usually it's like phone readings. I'll look at their picture and. And I start with the aura and then I just start talking and things just come out of my mouth. And I always say, like, I never know what I'm going to say. You know, to me, I connect with spirit guides and loved ones on the other side, and what comes through, comes through. What I've noticed in my readings or the way spirit utilizes me to help people is usually people I get are kind of stuck. They're in a transition and they need to hear something or they need to just understand how everything works or see the. The pattern so that they can make choices to switch it up for themselves. So this is the future is funny to me. It's trajectory based. So you are on a trajectory, and if you stay on that trajectory, you're going to keep going like that. But if you make really specific choices, you can get off your trajectory. So to me, the future is. Some things I think are in stone, but I think a lot of it, we're making it up as we go along. We are not stuck in. In anything too huge to change. But changing our mind and changing our behaviors is so hard. But a lot of what I do in my readings is like, okay, listen, you're a purple. You were raised by a red, so you think you're wrong all the time. You know, I'll look at your parents, I'll look at your siblings. I'll be like, oh, my gosh, here's your programming, here's your silent agreements. And it always comes back to the energy. You thought you were wrong or you're doing something repetitively. You don't even see half the stuff that is going on until I think a stranger who says she sees colors around you is like, it's because, you know, you're yellow or whatever. And then it's like, whoa, you know, I get it. Colors are so friendly, you know, and they're not as like, stressful. That's like, yeah, yeah. But, yeah, it's a lot of pattern busting. Yeah. Wow.

[Irene Bremis]

New couples therapy.

[Rachel Dratch]

Oh, that's true couples.

[Irene Bremis]

Do you take co pays? Because I'm there.

[Rachel Dratch]

Co pays. When was your first sort of entry into doing readings? Like jumping from just having these feelings about people into more of a career, more like, did you sort of do with your friends just kind of casually sitting around? How did that all come about?

[Mystic Michaela]

Yeah, it's really scary to kind of like come out of the closet when you're a reader because everybody's going to think you're insane, right? So it's kind of like my friend. So my friend, actually my really good friend Danielle, I moved down here, I moved down to Florida, and I'm like hanging around with this lovely lady and her name is Danielle. And I kept getting like, a name and I kept getting a name and I kept getting a name and I kept getting a name and I kept getting like all this grandma energy. A lot of times, spirit will come to you. It feels stressful or like anxiety or panic or whatnot. Or for me, I'll just get like something repeating in my head. And I'm like, you know, I get your grandma around you and who's Brian? And like, I like, uncovered all this crazy family drama and like the, like. So she was really the one that's like, you gotta do this, you know, like, you have to do it. If it wasn't for her just like kinda taking me by the shoulders and being like, do it. You know, I don't think I'd be here today. And so I started just reading Friends and then it was like, all right, well, let's do email readings. And so I used to do like, this is so long ago. Like, send me 10 bucks and two questions and, you know, and let's see what happens. And the feedback was good. And then it just kind of snowballed into this. But my big passion's honestly teaching people how to do it for themselves. Like, I really am passionate about people having the tools to read auras in their own lives. Because it's just vibes, and vibes have feelings. And you can assign a color to the vibe.

[Irene Bremis]

Wow.

[Rachel Dratch]

Oh, my gosh. Irene. We managed to sign up. I'm serious.

[Irene Bremis]

No, seriously. Because you feel. It's like we're already doing it, but then we don't. You know, like, we. We naturally have, like, an aversion to somebody's energy and then love somebody instantaneously. And I'd like to know what that color is. The aversion. Color is opposed to, like, the. Yeah, we do. We're there.

[Rachel Dratch]

Okay, wait. I have a couple questions.

[Mystic Michaela]

I'll send you 10.

[Rachel Dratch]

I'm sure it's more than that. I was wondering. I always wonder this when people say they are getting messages. Like you said, like, I'm getting a message from a grandmother. Whatever. Like, is it almost like your mind is sort of a radio that's picking up a sort of a signal? Or are you hearing it, like, auditorily, or are you hearing just having a feeling? Like, how do you receive a message like that? How does it feel to experience that?

[Mystic Michaela]

I'm sure it's different depending on who's doing it. For me, it comes from the right side, so I get it from the right side. I don't know if you've heard that from other guests. I don't know. Like, if they have ways they get it, but I get it. Energy from the right side and I'll get. I mean, there's all sorts of ways. It really kind of depends on the personality of who's dead. So if they're A very. Personality does not die. So, like, if they're coming through, I'll get weird jokes or I'll get, like an image, or a lot of. It's like I'm an empathic medium. So I'll start getting their personality. I'll start getting feelings. I'll start getting sometimes pain in my body. I call it shadow pain. It's not real, but it still feels real until I deliver the message. Then it goes away. So I'll get all these little tells in different ways. And I always tell people I only get what they give me. So it really depends who's coming in and who's speaking and who wants to talk like that. Just like, people in life, people in death have. Some are talkative and some aren't. But, yeah, it comes through from my right side and very like, I can't stop talking, so it'll like, blurt and it'll just say something or. So it's just kind of random. I just let myself go.

[Rachel Dratch]

I was wondering, because you were saying you got messages from, like, people on the other side. How did. Where was the jump from the colors to that? Or was it always sort of. You always had that too, or did that come about later?

[Mystic Michaela]

Yeah, I feel like for me, when I actually sat down and started focusing my energy, the problem when you do readings is it's a lot of voices at once and a lot of the practicing. When you're working on being a conduit for spirit, a lot of practicing is like, this sounds nuts, but, like, which voice is who?

[Podcast Host Rachel Dratch]

Wow.

[Mystic Michaela]

So for me, there's like dead people voices, and then there's somebody's spirit guide voices, and then there's my own brain, my own self. So it's kind of like separating it and they all sound different. And the only way you can really learn how it feels is by practicing. So when I was really starting out, the best way to focus for me was automatic typing. So in the email readings, I would just. I would just type like, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Everything would come out. And then I'd read it back and then be like, oh, that's interesting. All right, whatever, send. Let's see how that goes. And my feedback helped me understand, like, oh, I mixed this up, this voice up with this voice. Or, okay, when I get this feeling, this happens. And because spirit has a very specific way of speaking to each one of us directly. So they will also use your own personal cues and tells and personality to assist you in delivering a message. For example, sometimes somebody will be like, oh, I want to talk to Grandpa Joe. And they'll give me a picture of Grandpa Joe who's died, and I'll get all this stuff. And then they'll be like, no, that's Grandpa George. He Died before I was born. And I really wanna talk to Grandpa Joe, not Grandpa George. It's like, well, they piggyback. That's a big thing. Like, if one wants to come through whether you want to or not, they'll like, take. They'll like hijack the energy of one person's picture to have their messages come through. Does that make sense? It's kind of like stealing someone's ticket, hijacking.

[Rachel Dratch]

Grandpa George.

[Irene Bremis]

Yeah. Wait your turn. Grandpa George.

[Rachel Dratch]

Wait. You're making me think something that's like, this is what's making me really like, I don't. It gives a lot of credence what you're saying, because when I picture sort of someone that I think of as like a charlatan and those big group readings where they're like, is there someone with an M? And did you have flowers when they died? It's like, yeah, there were flowers. But I think what's interesting is I think if I were that person, I'd be in a panic. I'd be panicking. I'm like, I gotta get something right here. You know, like, it's like carnival games, you know? But this is really interesting to me because you're like, I just sit there and like, I'm flooded with information. So there doesn't seem to be any sort of nervousness or like, oh, am I gonna come through for this reading? It just seems like you have this sort of quiet confidence that this is your how it is. So it's kind of interesting to me.

[Mystic Michaela]

Oh, yeah. A lot of it's just love. And when I. When I sit down with somebody, it's a lot of it's love. And I mean, I have so many stories of people just coming through just because they wanted to say, you know, I'm sorry, or I didn't get to say this, or I apologize for that. Like, a lot of times they just want to come through and tell you I'm okay. And there's more than this, you know. But sometimes they do come through with gossip, or they want to talk about family, or it's really. It's very personality based because. And I tell people all the time, like, they're just people, but when you open your mind up to it, they can get very, very pushy. And I tell people I'm not in control. So it's like, whoever comes through comes through. It's funny, I always start with the auras. That is my true passion. And sometimes I just want to. Whoever I'm doing the reading for wants to talk about their job or who they're gonna be dating or whatever, or what aura color is their boyfriend. And mediumship. Sometimes they're talkative and it's like, okay, you know, we're. We like you, but we're going to keep it sick.

[Rachel Dratch]

Yeah.

[Mystic Michaela]

Wow. Yeah.

[Rachel Dratch]

Wow.

[Irene Bremis]

Can somebody's aura change through certain experiences or growth or.

[Mystic Michaela]

Most people have two aura colors. I see eight aura colors. Most people have two, some people have three. But the colors don't change so much as how they're kind of beat up around you. Just like how we age as people and we have, like, scars or we go through things or, you know, you've had times in your life where you haven't been well, the aura will reflect that by kind of looking washed out or ripped up or torn up or something. The only time I see it really change is sometimes in childhood. We don't make it out of childhood, sometimes with all of our aura colors. And that has to do with trauma programming, meaning how your parents raised you. And society will kick your butt, as we know and really try to try to change you and try to conform you. Wow.

[Irene Bremis]

Wow.

[Podcast Host Rachel Dratch]

When you met.

[Rachel Dratch]

I know that you're married because your husband, does he always co host, or was he just on the first one?

[Mystic Michaela]

He wasn't supposed to, but then, like, who was I gonna talk to?

[Rachel Dratch]

So he's always on this gu. Okay.

[Irene Bremis]

Oh, I love it. I love you two together.

[Rachel Dratch]

But so when you first met him, were you like, oh, he's. I forget what his color is. But were you like, he's red. Were you like, oh, there's my red that I've been waiting for? Or were you like. And how soon into the relationship did you tell him that you see red?

[Mystic Michaela]

That's a funny story. That's a funny story. So my husband's like. He actually is a skeptic. Like, I think he believes. Well, he does believe me because we've been married, like, 20 years, so he has to. But he never believes in anything else. So when I met him, I wasn't doing any of this. I was only 18. I met him when I was 18. This is crazy. I know. And I heard the word home. Like, again, right side. This was before I was doing readings or anything at all. I was just 18. And so I heard home, and I didn't even know what to make of that. I was like, whatever. I'm not listening to that. But three months in, I couldn't. Hi. Okay. So my mom's a psychic and amazing.

[Rachel Dratch]

I love it.

[Mystic Michaela]

Okay. And she Would do readings in the house. And this is before cell phones, right? And this is before, like, we had email back then, but not as like the website, you know, it wasn't like this. It is today. And so she would have readings in the house. And whenever she had readings in the house, it was like, don't come home. Like, do not walk in the house. Like, don't come in. You know, don't disrupt the reading. So he would be like, why can't we go home? I'm like, we can't go. We can't go back to my house. He's like, well, why? I'm like, my mom has a meeting. Like, I didn't want to tell him because it's so weird. So finally, three months in, I'm like, listen. I'm like, my mom's a psychic and she has readings. He was so freaked out. He kind of like dropped me off and I did not hear from him. But he called me at my work and he was like, if your mom's a psychic, what was the name of my childhood dog? Like that.

[Rachel Dratch]

Oh, that test.

[Mystic Michaela]

And I'm like, okay, I'll ask her when I go home. So I went home and I asked her and she's like, Coco. C O C O A. So I told him, I'm like, okay. She said, it's Coco. C O C O A. And he like screamed like a girl. He's like, I can't. He couldn't even handle it. He's like, no, he thought we were witches. He thought the house disappeared. He thought we were ghosts. Then he goes from skeptic to are you guys all ghosts? Are you even real? Like that? So he had a processing time.

[Rachel Dratch]

I'm still reeling down from Coco.

[Irene Bremis]

We're still stuck at Coco from Coco.

[Mystic Michaela]

I know. Isn't that nuts? Wow. Okay. That was insane. I know. Wow.

[Progressive Insurance Announcer]

Coco.

[Irene Bremis]

Oh A. And my cousin's dog Coco just died like two days ago. And I feel she's coming through.

[Mystic Michaela]

That's a little message. Yeah, because I think so. Cause like, I wasn't planning on telling that story. That's like from the vault. I haven't thought about that in years.

[Rachel Dratch]

And what about you have. Do you have one kid or.

[Mystic Michaela]

I have two kids. I have a 16. I have two girls, a 16 year old and a 10 year old.

[Rachel Dratch]

Okay.

[Mystic Michaela]

And the adult. I think it's a different world now because I have the podcast and I've written books, so they have to kind of deal with it. But my 16 year old, she does see colors around People. But she's just 16, and she doesn't want to talk about it, and she doesn't want to, like, you know, it's fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But my other ones, she's still 10, so she's still into it.

[Rachel Dratch]

Okay.

[Mystic Michaela]

Wow.

[Miu Miu Fragrance Announcer]

Your teen adjective used to describe an individual whose spirit is unyielding, unconstrained. One who navigates life on their own terms, effortlessly. They do not always show up on time, but when they. When they arrive, you notice an individual confident in their contradictions. They know the rules, but behave as if they do not exist. New Teen, the new fragrance by Miu Miu, defined by you.

[Podcast Host Rachel Dratch]

Oh.

[Rachel Dratch]

So we went to. This is just her little sidebar. Irene and I went to this thing. It was aura photography. Do you know anything about that?

[Mystic Michaela]

Oh, yeah. Okay.

[Rachel Dratch]

Well, this was not the thing to do.

[Mystic Michaela]

No.

[Rachel Dratch]

I don't know. It seemed like just like a scam sort of thing, I guess. I don't know. Anyway, we got her, but we shouldn't.

[Irene Bremis]

Tell her what color it was yet.

[Rachel Dratch]

That's true, but I forgot.

[Irene Bremis]

Are you gonna do our aura? I remember.

[Mystic Michaela]

Can I read your auras? Is that all right?

[Irene Bremis]

Yes, of course. Let's cut to what's really important here.

[Mystic Michaela]

Yeah, right. Okay. So I'll start with you, Rachel, because you. All right, so you have a very rare aura. So I call my. I should actually. I should start with Irene because her aura's more normal. But, Rachel, you have a. I'll start with you, Rachel.

[Rachel Dratch]

I have a guess of what Irene is, but I might be wrong.

[Podcast Host Rachel Dratch]

But.

[Rachel Dratch]

Okay. Okay. Start with me. Start with me. I don't know.

[Mystic Michaela]

I'll start with you. Okay. All right, so you have an aura so rare, like, I had to make a name for it because it's green and it's turquoise. But over in my world, I call it green kois. It's like, when those two colors mesh, they become kind of their own separate aura color, and a lot of people don't have it. So green is like science. And turquoise is woo woo. And green koises, I notice, mesh those together so it's like it can be both. Like, let's get curious, let's get logical. But why can't it be spiritual, too? Like, why can't science be woo woo? Like, they share that plane.

[Rachel Dratch]

Yeah.

[Mystic Michaela]

And green koises are really great at making connections between the two or three, keeping it grounded while also letting yourself be open to think about it. Green koises are really big into, like, healing modalities. All the woo woo ones plus the science backed ones. But like acupuncture or even like light therapy or like I'll try sound bath healing. Like all like they'll, they'll try it. They get a lot of benefits out of it. And green cousins, I always joke they're. I, maybe I'm the only one that thinks it's funny. Like green quiz is to me always remind me of like elves or like gnomes in the woods or something.

[Rachel Dratch]

I play a lot of elf like creatures so I can identify with that. I take that as a compliment.

[Mystic Michaela]

Yeah, it's supposed to be. It's like, it's like wise woodland, like mystical creatures. That's what they feel like to me. But you're purple too.

[Rachel Dratch]

I see. I feel like I might have some purple but that was just my very elementary. Just whatever. I think it's because you said purples are chaotic and messy. I think you said that in the first episode. I was like, I must have some purple in me.

[Miu Miu Fragrance Announcer]

Ooh.

[Mystic Michaela]

Yeah. Purples are creative, artistic, intuitive. You know, it's funny cause the world has a schedule and a way of doing things that was really made by yellow aura people. So purple people have their own way. Like you might have productivity, but it's. Oh, I don't know, I'm really productive at 8:00pm, not between 9 to 5, you know, or something like that. So it's just not working with how society does things. It's your own way of doing it.

[Rachel Dratch]

Yeah, okay. I can identify with that.

[Podcast Host Rachel Dratch]

Yes.

[Rachel Dratch]

Amazing.

[Irene Bremis]

That's spot on. Especially the science and the woo woo. You know, like the that's kind of.

[Rachel Dratch]

Vibes of this show. We try to walk the line.

[Irene Bremis]

Exactly.

[Rachel Dratch]

We try to walk the line. And like the thing you just said about the purple having like certain hours of. I'm finding that to be the case with me that I can't get anything done past 3pm it's hard.

[Mystic Michaela]

It's hard with the green because you can be very. Me too. I bet anything get a green dad or something. Cause like I feel like you can get very stuck in what's practical, what do people do, what's the right way, that kind of thing versus getting creative with that a little bit or allowing for different ways to do one thing. So it can be a struggle sometimes. But you got that turquoise and the turquoise is very ethereal. Then turquoises, that's a whole thing. Because you can get very reflective of other people's stuff and it can get very fun but it also can get very heavy. So when people come around you that may be experiencing trauma or issues or, I don't know, insecurities that they're not real with themselves with. I don't know. You tell me if you've ever noticed having an ability to pick it up immediately and wanting to like.

[Irene Bremis]

Well, she is an empath.

[Rachel Dratch]

Yeah. I mean, I don't. I don't think that I'm like, blunt about people's things, but I do. I think I do, like, pick up energies quickly. Absolutely. Like when someone comes in the room.

[Mystic Michaela]

Yeah, you do. Turquoise is our healers very healing with, like, usually they're in energy work and whatnot. So.

[Rachel Dratch]

Wow. All right, I love this. I'll take it. Okay, let's do Irene.

[Mystic Michaela]

Okay. I mean, you know what? Let me get. Because I see it's hard on. Zoom. What's like a. Are you on social media? Let me look. Look you. Yeah.

[Rachel Dratch]

Oh, yeah. Irene is.

[Mystic Michaela]

Yeah.

[Irene Bremis]

Oh, it's Irene.

[Mystic Michaela]

Oh, I see. I see you. Oh, I love. Okay. Yes. So I'm looking at you just like on your. I like this photo. It looks like you're with a friend or something. And that seems like you. So I see a really sparkly, which means something red on you and purple and a really deep underneath. A very, like, very deep blue. So what does this mean? I feel like. So that's three colors, which is a lot. So red and purples are very motivated, Passionate, self motivated, Hard on yourself. I often call it like a rock star and an army sergeant, like, sharing the same energy space because it's yay. And then also like, wait, I gotta do xyz. Constantly trying to. I have to do better. Your own competition is you yesterday. So it's constantly like, ugh, I gotta beat her. But it's you, you know, like that.

[Rachel Dratch]

And it's like a lot.

[Irene Bremis]

So true. It's so true. Yes.

[Mystic Michaela]

And like, really quick, really good readers of people, like, instinctively like, who's. And it's. I feel like with you, though, because you're so empathic and you're also the type of person who can be like, well, I can handle it. Well, I can handle it. So I can see people coming who are probably, like, not always nice people, but you being like, whatever, I can handle it. Whatever. I can deal with it.

[Irene Bremis]

That's so true.

[Mystic Michaela]

Even though it's not good for you. And later you're like, dealing with that aftermath, like, energetically or emotionally.

[Irene Bremis]

Oh, I have a person in mind. This is so spot on.

[Mystic Michaela]

Okay. Yeah. So you know that you're tough on the outside and you can Handle it. And I feel like you are also the type of person that's like, I should. So if something requires you to say no for your emotional health, I can feel like that can be very hard for you to do. So you'll say yes anyhow.

[Podcast Host Rachel Dratch]

Yes.

[Mystic Michaela]

And then. So. Oh, also, you feel like you're very advocate for, like, everyone, especially if you see somebody. So it's so funny. Cause I get you're this tough person, but inside you're extremely sensitive. So you'll take it. Like, if somebody's rude to you, you're like, whatever, I don't care. But if you see them being rude to somebody else, you're like, you'll step in. So I feel like you're kinder to other people than you are to yourself is what the thing is. But really creative constantly. And this gets a little deep. Irene, I feel like they give me a little message. They're like, stop reinventing the wheel. I get you, like, kind of like, you don't have to redo it. You know, you can take an easier way. It's like that, like, let, you know, take it if it's given to you. That kind of thing. Yeah, but sparkly red is really good. It means, like, curious and excited and, like, ready to do new things and breakthrough energy. That's cool. Wow.

[Rachel Dratch]

Okay, I want to show you something interesting. So you said Irene was red and purple, right?

[Mystic Michaela]

Yeah.

[Rachel Dratch]

Okay, so this was her. This was her. That was her aura picture. You can't see it.

[Mystic Michaela]

I can't see.

[Irene Bremis]

Oh, my God.

[Rachel Dratch]

I don't know why. The light is glaring off it.

[Irene Bremis]

Oh, shoot. I want to see that.

[Rachel Dratch]

So it's red and purple, but I don't know why.

[Mystic Michaela]

Oh, that's cool. I don't know.

[Rachel Dratch]

Why is it.

[Mystic Michaela]

Wait, wait, I can see it.

[Irene Bremis]

Is that it?

[Rachel Dratch]

Now? This is mine.

[Mystic Michaela]

Look at this.

[Irene Bremis]

Oh, my God. Maybe they weren't.

[Mystic Michaela]

Oh, look at that.

[Rachel Dratch]

Maybe they weren't turquoise. Maybe they weren't.

[Irene Bremis]

Bullshit, sweetie. We just got thrown off with the Polaroid.

[Rachel Dratch]

But then they didn't explain it at all. They just took that picture. But I thought it was interesting when you were saying people like, Okay, I know I mentioned Amy Poehler, like, every episode because we just talk about this stuff a lot, but she has some, like, opposite opinions. But I thought of her. She popped into my mind as a yellow. Yellow.

[Mystic Michaela]

Okay. Oh, my God.

[Rachel Dratch]

She said after she passed in my mind as yellow. You said very organized and very, like, she's not regimented, like. Like personality wise, but just like, she likes to like have everything planned and that kind of thing.

[Irene Bremis]

Right. But she's also a Virgo sweetie.

[Rachel Dratch]

She is a Virgo.

[Irene Bremis]

Virgo. Signs are. Signs are also tied up into, like, a lot of the thing that you said also describes me astrologically. I'm a Sagittarius, but I'm a Capricorn Moon. And I beat myself up. It's never enough. I have to try harder. I'm a personal best person. Like all these little things that you were saying, but they tie into astrology.

[Mystic Michaela]

Isn't that interesting? Yeah, I love that. It's like there's a cohesion, there's a synergy of all these things.

[Rachel Dratch]

I have a question too, because I'm wondering what a red is like.

[Mystic Michaela]

Oh, yeah. So I'm married to a red female. Reds are a little different.

[Rachel Dratch]

What about a male red?

[Irene Bremis]

They're different than a female. You said because I'm a red. Right.

[Mystic Michaela]

So red females have it very, very difficult in society. Remember I talked about how society can be very rude to different aura colors? So auras aren't gender based at all. But red energy tends to be outspoken. And your whole life you were probably the one raising your hand or I'll do it, or just speaking up for people or whatnot. And usually society's like, oh, women shouldn't talk. So it can be very, very. And you're performing, you're out there, whatever. So red women are different than red men. Red men. Authoritative, competitive. They can be hotheads. They can be extremely risk takers, but to a fault. So they're spending too much money and then they'll stop that. Or they'll drinking too much coffee and then they'll stop that. And then they're going to drive too fast and then they'll stop that. They can be. I don't mean there's nothing wrong with a red man if they're balanced, but I think I'm doing, like, the negative attributes.

[Rachel Dratch]

So you've been doing your pod for how many years now?

[Mystic Michaela]

Oh, my gosh. I started in 2019, like right before COVID right before the pandemic and stay at home orders and all that. And it was just, I don't know, just like evolved into a little family that we have. Just like you guys have, you know, we have a little family and it's been cool. I feel like, I don't know, just auras for. I always say auras are in the details, you know, So I like to talk about that and I like to talk about just how it helps me in my daily life and all the little ways. And I love hearing how other people connect it. You know, like, my kids just started. I'm in Florida. My kids just started school. So a big thing I love to use auras for is what kind of teacher is this going to be here?

[Rachel Dratch]

That's cool.

[Irene Bremis]

It's so good.

[Mystic Michaela]

It's so like nosy compatibility.

[Rachel Dratch]

You have to see the picture of the person. That's how it works.

[Mystic Michaela]

Yeah, I'll. Or I'll go, yes, I'll look at them in your book. I'll find. I'm so nosy. I'll go find them on Facebook. Of course, my one's in elementary school too, so I can meet her.

[Rachel Dratch]

Oh, yeah.

[Mystic Michaela]

So little things like that I can just kind of tell on teachers or people. And it helps me just navigate it with compassion or have a strategy for dealing with it. It's good for that too.

[Rachel Dratch]

All right, well, I don't have any. Do you have other questions, Irene?

[Irene Bremis]

The only thing that I can't believe is that the polaroids were accurate because they aligned with the color.

[Rachel Dratch]

That's crazy.

[Irene Bremis]

That's like crazy. We literally walked away saying, never again.

[Rachel Dratch]

And what we did was we put our hand on this, like, metal plate.

[Irene Bremis]

Yeah.

[Rachel Dratch]

And then they like printed out this sort of Polaroid picture. It just seemed like, what?

[Mystic Michaela]

It's a fun picture. It's better when they explain it to you. My tips. You guys did well. My tips for going for an aura photo is be careful who you go with because you can wear other people's energy a little bit. That's kind of one of my tips. And try to clear your mind. Like, take. Here's some woo woo advice. Like take a piece of selenite and maybe clear your aura before you go take the photo. I think that would help you get the most accurate results.

[Podcast Host Rachel Dratch]

Wow.

[Irene Bremis]

We should post those pictures up with this episode, Rachel. And say, you know what? We're sorry.

[Rachel Dratch]

Okay.

[Irene Bremis]

Aura place. We're sorry.

[Rachel Dratch]

Wow. I feel like when I was getting my reading, I have to go back and listening to my aura reading. Cause I was like so stunned that I was getting a reading That I sort of blanked out. But I gotta go back. I gotta go back and listen turquoise science and woo woo.

[Mystic Michaela]

Yeah, Turquoises are fun to read. You guys have like your little. I don't know. Turquoise is. You live in the 5D and the 3D at the same time. So my youngest is a turquoise. So I have a special place in my heart for the turquoise.

[Rachel Dratch]

Okay.

[Mystic Michaela]

It's hard to be a turquoise. You're so absorbent.

[Rachel Dratch]

So I'm absorbent like a three ply towel.

[Irene Bremis]

She is. She is.

[Mystic Michaela]

Absorbency.

[Rachel Dratch]

Turquoise will pick up your emotional spills. Oh, my God. You have to trademark that too.

[Mystic Michaela]

That's really good. Yeah.

[Rachel Dratch]

So much to trademark here. Now, Mikayla, we do this pendulum reading. I don't know if you know about this, but I always feel funny when we're doing a reading for a reader because I feel like I'm trying to, like, take over someone who has real skills.

[Mystic Michaela]

But no, this is good. Nobody ever reads me. I'm so excited. Thank you.

[Rachel Dratch]

Okay, Are you thinking your question?

[Mystic Michaela]

Yes.

[Irene Bremis]

Okay, I got mine. Okay, let's go. We're going to do it at the same time.

[Rachel Dratch]

Ooh, I'm getting it. Okay, I got a no, But I feel like Irene got a yes. You got a no too?

[Irene Bremis]

No, I got a no. I got a no. I didn't get a yes. I got a no.

[Rachel Dratch]

Wait, Michaela seems bummed.

[Irene Bremis]

Sorry, what was it?

[Mystic Michaela]

All right. I asked if I was gonna get another cat. Okay.

[Rachel Dratch]

Okay.

[Mystic Michaela]

But it makes sense because I have three cats and my husband's like, had it, but I really want a fourth cat.

[Irene Bremis]

Okay.

[Rachel Dratch]

You'd be surprised how many people ask about another pet. It's like, really? Oh, I think it's the ongoing question that's like, people won't get too crushed. Cause it's not asking, like, am I gonna get my book published?

[Mystic Michaela]

Like, something.

[Rachel Dratch]

So it's like the other animal thing, but I can't believe we both got it.

[Irene Bremis]

No, it's not earth shattering. Yeah, it came up right away. I hate to say it.

[Rachel Dratch]

Oh, my God, you're gonna hold out at three, Micaela. Yeah, it's okay. Well, at least for the near future. We can check back. We can check back.

[Mystic Michaela]

I'll check back.

[Rachel Dratch]

I'm sure you can get a more accurate reading from the voices from the right and several auras.

[Irene Bremis]

Although guess what? Your husband's gonna be happy with the pendulum.

[Rachel Dratch]

That's true.

[Mystic Michaela]

No, he'll be very happy with you all and extend his gratitude. Yes.

[Rachel Dratch]

Okay, so make sure to check out Mika podcast Mystic Michaela. It's very interesting and I'm gonna listen to more and more of it because I know I'm into this whole aura thing too. That was really interesting and thank you for reading us too. That was an extra bonus.

[Mystic Michaela]

Thank you so much for having me on. This was so much fun.

[Rachel Dratch]

All right, thank you, Miquella.
