EP292: Paranormal News, Haunted Houses, Alien Probes & Hollywood Horror

Gather ‘round, KYA listeners!. It’s that time of year again! In this annual podcast tradition, Michaela and Scott are diving into all things ghostly, from chilling personal stories shared by listeners to the fascinating history of ghosts in ancient civilizations and early American culture. How have people understood, feared, and told stories about the dead throughout history? And what bone chilling stories do our own listeners have to share with us? Settle in for an episode filled with eerie encounters, historical hauntings, and the supernatural stories that remind us that sometimes, the scariest tales are the ones we can’t quite explain.

What happens when a family gives one person permission to be the funny one, the strong one, the sensitive one, the responsible one, the artistic one...and everyone else is expected to stay in their lane? In this episode, Michaela explores what she calls, “aura stealing”...when family roles and identities become so strongly assigned to one person that others may feel they have to suppress or surrender those same qualities. She unpacks how these unspoken energetic assignments can shape sibling dynamics, friendships, romantic relationships, and the way we see ourselves long after we’ve left the family environment. She dives into what it means to reclaim your balanced aura, how to stop performing the identity you were handed, make room for all the different parts of yourself, and allow others to be fully themselves too.

Welcome to our mini-series: Live Life Like an Aura Color! In this episode, we are discussing living life as an Indigo Aura. In this episode, Michaela breaks down everything you need to know about the Indigo experience, including how they approach life with deep sensitivity, thrive in solitude, and strive to connect with others empathically. Whether you are an indigo aura or you love one, this episode offers a roadmap for this specific energy. Michaela shares tips from Indigo listeners on how to stay energetically clear, trust instincts and let go of the shame in napping! Expect more episodes like this in the future as we explore the unique characteristics of every aura color in the spectrum.

How do loved ones who have passed away communicate with us from the other side? In this uplifting episode, Michaela explores the signs, messages, and spiritual connections that can help us feel closer to those we’ve lost. Michaela shares powerful stories from her recent mediumship readings, including meaningful messages of love, support, and recognition from souls who have crossed over. Scott and Michaela also discuss how time works in the afterlife, how long it may take for a loved one to send a sign or make their presence known, and why communication may not always happen when, or how, we expect it.

What happens when your aura meets the dust? In this episode, Michaela and Scott ponder Burning Man and ask a deceptively simple question… which auras would actually survive the playa? They explore the spiritual roots of the festival, its Ten Principles, and the strange tension between radical self-expression and the growing influence of wealth, status, and social media. They unpack how Burning Man has transformed from a countercultural experiment into a global phenomenon, and what happens when influencers, aesthetics, and the pursuit of visibility enter a community built around participation rather than spectatorship. Along the way, Michaela examines the auras of Burning Man’s founders, what the festival means spiritually, and whether this festival is a portal for 5D concepts to infiltrate the 3D of this planet. Come for the dust. Stay for the auras.
