Hey, I’m J.D. Murgolo — stay-at-home dad and storytelling alchemist.

I help people untangle their stories and find the voice they didn’t know they had.

By day, I’m navigating the chaos and beauty of Montessori parenting.
By night (and nap time), I’m writing, podcasting, and working with others to turn fragile moments into powerful narratives.

I believe storytelling is healing, emotional intelligence is survival, and boundaries are love in action.

Through content, conversations, and creative collaborations, I’m building spaces where people feel seen...especially the overwhelmed, the burnt out, and the ones trying to break cycles they never asked to carry.

Whether you’re here for the parenting posts, the podcast work, or just to feel a little more human in your scroll, welcome.

You’re not alone here.
