Fragile Moments is a place to hold stories that feel heavy, raw, and human.
You’ve landed in the pause between what’s been and what’s next.
A place where your story doesn’t need to perform—it just needs to be heard.
There’s no one right way to begin.
Just a soft place to start.
Whether you're ready to speak your story, or just want to feel less alone inside it—you're welcome here.

Choose the pace that feels right:
I'm ready to explore my story
A private, guided space to uncover, share, and soften the parts of your story that still feel heavy or hidden.

I'm looking for quiet community
You don’t have to speak to feel seen. Our small, online community offers space to witness and be witnessed—at your own rhythm.
Explore Our Substack
Begin where it’s safest. Stories from others can help us name things we don’t have words for yet.
Listen to the "What's Your Story?" podcast
Every story is alchemy waiting to happen.
The magic isn’t in fixing—it’s in finally being witnessed.
What is Storytelling Alchemy?
Storytelling Alchemy isn’t therapy, coaching, or performance. It’s a series of intimate conversations where your story finds a gentle container—a space to explore, heal, and connect.

Over several sessions, we listen deeply, reflect together, and help you transform what feels heavy into something you can hold with more ease.

Whether you want to share your story publicly one day, or simply find peace with parts of it, this process meets you where you are.
Discover How It Works
Not ready to speak your truth?
Listening is its own kind of bravery.
Sometimes hearing someone else say it first makes us feel safe enough to feel it, too.
I believe the most fragile moments often carry the most powerful truths.
And I’m here to hold them with you.
Hi, I’m J.D.
I’m a Montessori dad, storytelling alchemist, and holder of fragile moments. I believe stories are the gentle threads that weave us together—especially the ones that feel too heavy to share elsewhere.

Through Fragile Moments, I create spaces where your story is met with kindness, honesty, and care.

No pressure, no fix-it mode—just presence.
