What happens when silence stops working, and honesty becomes an act of care?

In this episode, we sit with a story about breaking, language, and the quiet power of naming what’s hard without letting it spill onto the people we love.

What happens when survival isn’t the finish line, but the beginning?

In the Season 3 premiere of What’s Your Story?, host J.D. Murgolo explores a narrative of transition, responsibility, and the profound choice to prioritize one’s own path. This episode is a deep dive into the personal narratives of leaving what we know and the healing that begins when we finally choose ourselves.

In this conversation, we explore:

• The Weight of Responsibility: Navigating the roles we play for others vs. the roles we play for ourselves.
• The Act of Leaving: Understanding that survival is often just the first step toward a new story.
• Choosing Yourself: The quiet, often difficult moment of reclaiming your own narrative agency.

A new story is arriving.

What’s Your Story? returns this February with a new season titled The Art of Returning — a cinematic exploration of what it means to come back to yourself after loss, change, or silence.

This season unfolds as a storyworld within the What’s Your Story? anthology, weaving together lived experiences, quiet reckonings, and the moments that reshape who we are.

Produced by Not Today Media. New episodes begin February.
