The Kelsey Mercer Podcast

If you’re married to someone who serves your community or your country, you know what it’s like to sacrifice life as normal for the benefit of those around you. As a fire wife for nearly 25 years, I know firsthand what it looks like to put your priorities, desires and wishes for life aside for the demand of a job! This has been our life, but the journey, though hard has formed us in so many ways to know what it’s like to adapt in the moment, and create happiness wherever you are however, you can life as a fire wife has meant life in the fire many times figuratively speaking but much like fire. The refining process always creates a beauty that can’t be denied in this episode. I speak with my husband who shares his heart transparently what it’s like to fight fires, and also have a heart that fights for your family, and to live by values and principles. It’s never been perfect but we’ve always been purposeful in creating the intentional life that we crave that creates an open space of communication and relationships that are personal and unique to our way of life. Summers have never look like big vacations but we always try and squeeze in sweet and simple times together that keep a smiling! For us that has meant trips to Lake Powell at every agent stage of our children’s life! May you be inspired to embrace the life God has given you, and you are unique calling to live the journey you are on! Serving others feeds the soul!

God teaches us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom. The only day were really given is this day, but even more than that, is this moment.. What would it look like to see your life as a gift and to appreciate each breath as the moment that reminds us of what is truly most important in our pursuit of purpose and happiness? I believe regret and grief are some of the greatest teachers in life to guide us to greater truths and revelations on how we can live the each day differently than our past. If life is hard it’s not bad it can be what motivates us to heal which ultimately transforms how we show up better each day. This podcast may challenge you to re-examine your priorities and perspective according to your values in pursuit of your best life and how to live it well.
