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 (0:58)

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

Rachel Dratch (1:11)

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 (1:38)

Hi.

Mystic Michaela (1:39)

Thank you so much for having me.

Rachel Dratch (1:41)

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

Mystic Michaela (1:46)

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 (1:52)

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 (2:14)

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.

Mystic Michaela (4:23)

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.

Mystic Michaela (14:14)

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.
