What if truly seeing your child meant understanding their energy on a deeper level? In this episode of The Mami Collective, Paulina Roe sits down with the incredible Mystic Michaela -celebrity aura reader and spiritual guide- to dive into the fascinating world of aura colors and what they can teach us about parenting.

We talk about how each aura color reflects your child’s personality, emotional needs, and how they show up in the world - and yes, how you as a mom can better support, guide, and connect with them through that lens. Michaela breaks down how to figure out your child’s aura (even if you’re totally new to this), what the different colors mean, and how you can use this insight to parent more intentionally, more intuitively, and with way more compassion.

Whether you're raising a fiery red, a dreamy indigo, or a free-spirited purple, then this convo will leave you feeling empowered, aligned, and a little more magical.
