#05 How We Learned to Live on One Income: Biblical Stewardship, Smart Budgeting, and Simple Strategies for Moms Transitioning Home

Karla B. Monterrosa

If you’ve ever wondered how your family could make it work on one income, this episode is for you. On this episode, I share my personal story of transitioning from a two-income household to a home-centered life — and the practical steps, mindset shifts, and faith lessons that made it possible.


You’ll learn how to:

💡 Identify the true financial and emotional cost of working outside your home

📝 Build or review your family budget with prayer and purpose

🏡 Spend smarter and stretch your resources through simple habits

❤️ Communicate with your husband and find unity in financial decisions

🙏 View your finances through the lens of Biblical stewardship and trust in God's  provision


Whether you’re preparing to step away from full-time work, already navigating life and motherhood on one income, or simply learning to steward well what you've been given, this conversation will help you take your next step with confidence and faith.
