About Jill Mercer

I was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, a city rich with spirit, history, and storytelling, and it is where I live today. I share my life with my wonderful husband, Joey, and our seven beautiful children. Family, connection, and love are at the center of everything I do and deeply influence the way I approach my work.

I've spent my life discovering that the smallest moments often leave the biggest imprint on our hearts.

Through storytelling, speaking, and writing, I share ordinary stories that reveal extraordinary lessons of hope, resilience, kindness, and purpose.

The Nickel Tree grew from a simple childhood memory and has become a place where stories remind us that life is always teaching us something—if we're willing to look a little deeper.

I'm honored you're here, and I hope you'll find a story that helps you see your own in a new way.
