J.D. Murgolo
Founder
Hey đź‘‹ I'm JD Murgolo, a Storytelling Alchemist and Coffee Mug Philosopher.
I help people turn their lived experiences into stories that heal, connect, and reveal. Whether through podcasting, creative writing, or quiet voice notes, my work invites us to slow down, listen closely, and remember the power of a well-told story.
With one hand on the mic and the other wrapped around a warm cup, I’m here to remind us that every moment—no matter how fragile—holds the potential for meaning.
I don’t tell stories because I have all the answers. I tell them because I’m still asking better questions. Still learning how to reparent myself while raising emotionally aware kids. Still navigating the push and pull of growth, grief, and grace. Still doing deep inner work while sipping lukewarm coffee and pretending the laundry isn’t winning.
This isn’t a space for polished narratives. It’s a hearth for the parts of your story that are still unfolding.
I believe storytelling is ceremony, and softness is strength. That slow is sacred. That the most honest truths often live in the margins of the day.
So if you’re here to make meaning from the mess, to honor your inner voice, to sit with stories that don’t fit neatly into before-and-after boxes—you’re not alone.
You’ve found a place to belong to the narrative you’re still learning how to tell.
Welcome to the circle.
Let’s build something real 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.

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.
