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

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 infinite self-optimization eventually felt like a burden I couldn’t set down. Then we get practical about what changed when I started treating the Bible as protection rather than control. The first test was at home: embracing biblical submission not as erasure, but as trust in my husband’s leadership. The shift was immediate—less friction, more unity—and it forced me to re-examine the stories I told about power, freedom, and truth.We also talk about living in the messy middle: too Christian for my spiritual friends, too “woo-adjacent” for some believers. I’m choosing to be a bridge. That means honest conversations about running a business without bending to performative virtue signaling, parenting with conviction in a culture that pulls families apart, and creating a home that prizes order, responsibility, and joy. I’ll still release my oracle deck while building a free devotional that aligns each card with Scripture, corrects what doesn’t hold up, and guides anyone curious about the path I’ve taken.If you’re hungry for real peace, skeptical of empty platitudes, and ready to lead with values that stand up under pressure, you’re in the right place.
