Collected by Unum Co.
Collected by Unum Co. is a podcast about the power of lived experience—how stories can shape more human-centred systems, services, and spaces.
Each episode, hosts Megan and Farah sit down with people who are challenging the status quo, leading with empathy, and making an impact through their work and their stories.
Stories move us. They open eyes, shift systems, and remind us what really matters. Real change begins when people show up for people, and this is the space where those conversations live.

Building Unum Co: how it started (with Megan & Farah)

In this episode, we’re taking you behind the scenes of how Unum Co. came to be.
Megan shares how navigating her own health journey led to peer support, advocacy work, and a career in health care communications. Farah reflects on 15 years in pharma, the push to listen to real patient experiences, and the moment she stumbled upon a small but growing online community called The Gut Gazette.
From patient storytelling to corporate decision-making, blogging to brand building, and from two separate careers to a shared mission, this is the origin story of Unum Co. It is also the beginning of Collected, a podcast created to share stories that move health care forward.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
- The power of patient stories to spark change
- Why digital communities have reshaped health care conversations
- How two different career paths merged into one mission
- What you can expect from future episodes of Collected
This is where storytelling meets impact, and where our journey with you begins.
