121. I Wanted to Change My Husband… God Changed Me...

Counter Culture Mama Podcast with Danielle Venables ·

2026/04/10

Marriage can feel like the first place pressure shows up when we start taking faith seriously. When I zoom out and remember marriage as God’s design from Genesis, a lot of the confusion clears: the fight is bigger than a bad week or an awkward disagreement. It’s also why “leave him” advice can sound tempting while quietly making everything worse. I share what I’m learning in my church life groups and why Christian community changes the kind of counsel we give and receive. Then I get personal...

120. Jesus Rose from the Dead: Proof, Prophecy & Why...

Counter Culture Mama Podcast with Danielle Venables ·

2026/04/05

If you’ve ever wondered why Christians treat Easter like the hinge point of history, it comes down to one claim that can’t be watered down: Jesus Christ literally rose from the dead. I’m Danielle Venables, and I’m walking you through why the resurrection is not a poetic metaphor, not a “spiritual truth,” and not something we can casually set aside while keeping the label of Christianity. If Jesus didn’t rise, the faith collapses. If He did, the cross is not a defeat, it’s a victory over sin a...

119. Good Friday Reminds Us We Cannot Earn Grace

Counter Culture Mama Podcast with Danielle Venables ·

2026/04/03

Good Friday is not a vague spiritual metaphor, it’s a confrontation with the thing we keep trying to outrun: we cannot fix ourselves by willpower, self-talk, or perfectionism. I share why “give yourself grace” can feel strangely unsatisfying when you’re still carrying real guilt, and why grace from Jesus lands with a different kind of weight. When grace is a gift that cost something, it doesn’t feel like enabling. It feels like rescue. We walk through the crucifixion accounts with an e...

118. Jesus Is Not Netflix And Tarot Is Not A Tool

Counter Culture Mama Podcast with Danielle Venables ·

2026/04/03

Tarot as a “tool.” Astrology as “just guidance.” Worshiping other gods as long as God stays at the top. We keep hearing versions of the same promise: you can blend New Age spirituality with Christian faith and still be fine. We don’t buy it, and more importantly, Scripture doesn’t either. We slow down and walk through the Bible passages people quote to defend spiritual coexistence, then we put them back in context. That includes Psalm 82, the commandment about having no other gods, and the d...

117. Why I Left The New Age

Counter Culture Mama Podcast with Danielle Venables ·

2026/03/27

I didn’t leave the New Age because it stopped being popular, I left because I couldn’t ignore what it was producing in me. I had built a business and identity around manifestation, alignment, and “trusting the universe,” and walking away meant losing money, credibility, and the brand I spent years building. From the outside, a New Age to Jesus story can look like a sudden switch, but the internal process is messy, costly, and deeply personal. I unpack the turning points that made me question...

116. Popular New Age Beliefs vs The Bible | PART 2

Counter Culture Mama Podcast with Danielle Venables ·

2026/03/20

Manifestation. Spirit guides. Reincarnation. “Low vibration” sin. These ideas don’t just shape a spiritual aesthetic, they shape how we think reality works, who holds authority, and what we do when life hurts. I’m Danielle Venables, and this is part two of my New Age vs the Bible series, where I lay out the specific beliefs I used to live by and contrast them with what I now believe after giving my life to Jesus. We dig into why the law of attraction and manifestation can feel so convincing,...

115. Popular New Age Beliefs vs The Bible

Counter Culture Mama Podcast with Danielle Venables ·

2026/03/13

“All paths lead to God” sounds loving and open minded, but I don’t think it’s harmless. I’m Danielle Venables, and I’m sharing why I believe some of the most popular New Age beliefs are not just different options for spirituality but counterfeits that can slowly pull us away from Jesus while still feeling bright, moral, and empowering. I walk through five big ideas I once believed myself: every religion leads to the same destination, Jesus as an enlightened teacher or ascended master, the “y...

Counter Culture Mama Podcast with Danielle Venables ·

2026/02/14

A small northern BC town is shattered by a school shooting, and the noise machine spins up fast. Before the takes and the threads, we slow down to honor the lives lost, sit with our own shock, and ask a harder question: what actually helps a grieving community right now? From my seat inside the response at work, I share how “action mode” can hide unprocessed pain, why early political battles rarely serve the wounded, and what love looks like when the cameras leave. We walk through the pressu...

Counter Culture Mama Podcast with Danielle Venables ·

2025/11/21

Ever been told to obey first and feel later? I grew up equating faith with performance, penance, and shame—and it kept me far from the church. Today we get honest about church hurt, the weight it puts on our hearts, and the quiet ways it can block a real relationship with Jesus. This is a story about moving from condemnation to conviction, from checking boxes to living in grace, and from isolation to a community that actually helps you heal. We revisit a striking childhood memory of face-to-...

Counter Culture Mama Podcast with Danielle Venables ·

2025/11/07

Perfection looks impressive online, but it can quietly starve your soul. I share why the chase for “arrival”—in faith, business, and identity—is often pride wearing a halo, and how Scripture reframed my need to look finished. Walking through Exodus, I found courage in Moses’ reluctance and God’s patience with imperfect people who still say yes. That lens changed my rhythm: not a sprint to polish myself, but a steady relationship where Jesus refines me as I go. I open up about the messy middl...

Counter Culture Mama Podcast with Danielle Venables ·

2025/10/31

What if your business could honor your faith, protect your time, and still pay the bills every month? That’s the journey I open up today—walking from a new age‑entangled coaching brand to a values‑aligned income stream that feels steady, clean, and genuinely helpful for families. I unpack the uncomfortable middle: realizing your offers no longer match your convictions, saying goodbye to tools that once defined your work, and facing the fear of losing a community as your beliefs change. Inste...

110. I Was Wrong About New Age And Jesus

Counter Culture Mama Podcast with Danielle Venables ·

2025/10/25

A year ago, we argued you could chase “Christ consciousness” without embracing a Bible-centered faith—and we treated religion like a control system. After a season of prayer, study, and honest self-audit, we’re back to share what changed and why the shift brought more peace, not less. This is a candid walk-through of moving from self-optimization to surrender, from theories about ascension to a relationship with a living Savior. We open with the rebrand that led us to revisit an older episod...

109. I Left New Age & Found Jesus: My Story & Update

Counter Culture Mama Podcast with Danielle Venables ·

2025/10/17

A song in the kitchen broke everything open. One moment I was planning an oracle deck launch; the next, I was sobbing to an old worship chorus and realizing the “peace” I’d been manufacturing wasn’t the real thing. This episode is a candid walk through my rebrand to Counterculture Mama and the turn from new age practices to a faith-led life that reshaped my marriage, business, and sense of self. I share what drew me into Reiki, tarot, kundalini, and the Akashic Records—and why the promise of...

Counter Culture Mama Podcast with Danielle Venables ·

2025/10/16

Have you ever found yourself so busy analyzing your own patterns and emotional responses that you've forgotten to actually ask for what you need? That's what I call "the curse of the self-aware woman" – and it might be silently eroding your relationships. While self-awareness is undeniably valuable, there's a dangerous tipping point where accountability becomes self-abandonment. Many women pride themselves on doing their inner work, understanding their triggers, and taking responsibility for...

2025/10/15

Have you ever noticed how we entrepreneurs can become completely tunnel-visioned, believing our impact comes exclusively through our businesses? That revelation hit me hard this weekend, and it's completely transforming how I show up in the world. For years, I operated under the assumption that my business was my legacy—that to make a meaningful impact, people needed to join my programs, download my resources, or become paying clients. While my heart has always been in the right place (as I ...

Counter Culture Mama Podcast with Danielle Venables ·

2025/06/27

Transforming your reality begins with a deceptively simple shift: being intentional about where you source your information and advice. We often default to whatever resources are most readily available – Facebook groups, friends, or family – without questioning if these sources actually align with our desires. This creates a self-reinforcing cycle where limiting beliefs get strengthened rather than challenged. Consider what happens when a woman seeking a natural birth asks about pain ...

Have you ever felt the call to burn your business to the ground and start fresh, even when everything seemed to be working? That terrifying space where you know something needs to change but have no idea what will replace it? Welcome to what I call "the void" – and my recent 18-month journey through it transformed everything. Two years ago, I discovered I was pregnant with my third child just as my coaching business was finally hitting its stride. I had the clients, the masterminds, the grou...

Have you ever worked so hard on healing a pattern only to find yourself right back in it? That moment of realization can bring crushing guilt—especially when you're in a leadership or healing role yourself. You know better, so why are you here again? The truth is that none of us are immune to our patterns. Even with all the consciousness work, therapy, and personal development in the world, we remain beautifully human. And humans have patterns.

Freedom shouldn't be a privilege reserved for a select few mothers who have mastered the impossible juggling act. Yet, after five years in the online coaching industry, I've witnessed countless women trapped in an exhausting cycle of almost-success followed by family-mandated setbacks. The hard truth? Putting all your eggs in the coaching basket creates a business that collapses when your family needs you most. As mothers, we're constantly pulled in multiple directions – managing homes, cari...
