J.D. Murgolo
Founder
Hey đź‘‹ I'm JD Murgolo, a Storytelling Alchemist and Practitioner of Narrative Sovereignty.
My work lives at the intersection of emotion, identity, and narrative, helping people make sense of their lives through the stories they carry.
I serve the Quiet Carriers, the ones who hold everyone else together but rarely have a place to lay down what they’re carrying. The parents, the partners, the sensitive men and women, the creatives, the steady ones who feel deeply but keep moving anyway. The people who have wisdom but no witness.
I came to this work because I’ve lived it.
For years, I was the one who held everything quietly, the emotions, the responsibilities, the inner world no one else saw. Story became the way I made sense of myself, my roles, my fears, and the life I was building. Story didn’t just give me clarity — it gave me my voice back.
Now I help others reclaim theirs.
Through guided storywork, gentle narrative rituals, and conversation grounded in presence, I help people reconnect to their truth, understand who they are becoming, and reclaim authorship over the stories that shape their identity.
This isn’t content creation.
It’s narrative healing.
It’s emotional grounding.
It’s a return to the self.
If you’ve been carrying more than you speak…there’s a place for you here.

Story Coaching
Story coaching with Fragile Moments can help you figure out who you want to be, where you are going, and how to get there. You can let go of fear and self-doubt, gain new focus and confidence, embrace and empower the real you, and move forward with positivity and purpose.
Supporting clients to change their lives is truly what you love to do most.

Speaking
What the world needs now more than ever isn’t another diet plan or exercise program, what we need is a course correction in our mental health.
Collectively we can do that one small step at a time.
Keynotes, podcast interviews, and custom sessions tailored to inspire mental health awareness and help you and/or your audience reconnect to their body and mind.
Topics Include:
Talks about the effects of undiagnosed mental illnesses, repressed trauma, and the importance of mental healthcare in our homes, workplace, and beyond, talks about the importance of destigmatizing mental illness and why that takes more than saying mental health matters.
