84. Want to quit your job and start homesteading? How to Escape the Dual-Income Trap When All You Want is to Stay at Home


Listen Later

Have you ever found yourself daydreaming at work, wishing you could just walk away from the grind and be home — home with your kids, home with your garden, home doing the things that actually matter to you? I think a lot of us know that tug in our hearts. But then reality hits, the bills, the mortgage, the cost of groceries, and it feels like the only way to survive is to keep both incomes going, even when it feels super draining. Today, I want to talk about that exact situation. How do you break free from the dual-income trap when what you really want is to be home, living a simpler, slower, more intentional life? We’ll talk about the practical steps to actually make it happen, and also how to be content in the waiting, because for most of us, this isn’t an overnight decision and the waiting can be the hardest part. 

If you feel stuck right now in the job, or the bills, or this cycle of always needing two incomes, I hope this episode gives you the practical wisdom and encouragement you need to step into the life that God is calling you to. Thanks so much for joining me!
