Unassuming Collective is a Personal Historian Service based in Northern California.

It’s the place where people come to share their stories and their wisdom. We feature storytellers from live events and we offer life-story recording services for those who wish to preserve their memories for those they love.

Why record your story? Here are some of the many benefits:

  • Spark empathy and understanding

  • Inspire future generations

  • Honor your life's work

  • Strengthen family bonds

  • Preserve family history

  • Pass down wisdom

  • Heal past wounds

You don’t have to be in the final chapter of your life to have your story recorded. And even if you are, it’s still not too late to share your story. Your wisdom and experiences are unique and they deserve to be saved as a part of your family history and the history of humankind.

TESTIMONIALS

First of all, you will have FUN recording your story! We treasured the opportunity to recount our memories. It was an easy to implement process and Mariah made us sound better than we expected. Really professional.

The storytellers featured on our podcast and on stage at our open mics have faced challenges that include mental health issues, chronic illness, addiction, and trauma. They have demonstrated incredible resilience and achieved remarkable goals in life and all of them share one thing in common: they found the courage to share their stories so that others can be inspired and encouraged.

Our hope is that by listening to Unassuming Collective, our audience can gain a deeper understanding of the human experience. We hope these stories make an impression on you and add value to your life. You can also enjoy these stories on Spotify.
