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...

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...

107. Your Impact Doesn't Require a Transaction

Counter Culture Mama Podcast with Danielle Venables ·

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 ...

2025/06/20

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. What truly matters isn't how perfectly we avoid...

This raw and honest conversation dives deep into what true financial sovereignty looks like for entrepreneurs, especially those with families and multiple responsibilities.

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...

That's exactly where I was before launching this podcast—drowning in social media's superficiality, yearning for deeper connection, yet paralyzed by feelings of inadequacy and tech overwhelm. Who would listen to me? What made my voice special? These questions kept me stuck until I finally took the leap. Now, 100 episodes later, I'm reflecting on this beautifully imperfect journey.

Balancing tradition and ambition often feels impossible in today's world, where we're constantly told we must choose between career and family. My journey through this seemingly contradictory landscape revealed a truth I never expected to find: embracing my role as a traditional wife didn't mean abandoning my purpose and drive—it meant redefining them. When I first stepped away from corporate life to be home with my children, I carried the hustle mentality with me, believing I needed to "ret...

How do we balance providing our kids access to necessary technology while protecting their developing minds from digital dependence? My family's journey began with a strong intuitive resistance to touchscreen technology when my oldest was just a baby.

Drawing from my unexpected personal journey, I share how I transformed from a staunch feminist with corporate ambitions to embracing elements of the "trad wife" lifestyle without sacrificing my strength or voice. My story begins in business school, determined to climb the corporate ladder and fiercely protective of my independence. I once vi...

What started as the "Quantum Priestess Oracle" in late 2022 transformed into the "Seeds of Light Oracle Deck," evolving far beyond my initial vision.
