J.D. Murgolo
Founder
Hey — I’m J.D. Murgolo.
I’m the founder of Fragile Moments, a storytelling studio and creative home for narrative work shaped by transition.
I design narrative environments.
Through podcasting, facilitation, and immersive installations, I build spaces where stories can be held with consent, clarity, and care.
My work sits at the intersection of identity and story — helping individuals and organizations think clearly about the narratives they are building, carrying, and sharing.
I believe stories are not content. They are meaning-making structures. They shape how we understand ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we move through change.
Fragile Moments grew out of years spent working in podcast production, narrative development, and long-form storytelling. Over time, the focus became clear: stories deserve stewardship. They deserve time. They deserve care.
My work explores readiness — when to speak, when to listen, and how to carry what shapes us without turning it into performance.
Through studio collaboration, podcast development, immersive experience design, and reflective writing, I help shape work that is intentional, sustainable, and built to endure.
This isn’t about performance.
It’s about clarity.
It’s about authorship.
It’s about building a body of work that reflects who you are becoming.
If you’re navigating change — and want your story shaped with depth and discernment — you’re in the right place.

Private Narrative Stewardship
Maybe you’ve been holding something for a while.
A season.
A fracture.
A quiet ache.
You’re not trying to publish it.
You just don’t want to carry it alone anymore.
I offer private narrative stewardship conversations for creatives, parents, and individuals navigating story, leadership, and readiness.

Speaking & Facilitation
I lead keynotes and facilitated conversations on ethical storytelling, consent in narrative spaces, emotional labor behind the mic, and leadership rooted in steadiness rather than performance.
