The Gentle Undoing
The Gentle Undoing is a storytelling space for people navigating life after illness, loss, or major change.
Sharing my story was the first thing that helped me feel less alone. It grounded me, connected me, and reminded me that vulnerability has power.
Louise Pham, Founder
What we do
It started with my own videos as a way to process what I had been through, and to help others feel a little less alone. Now, The Gentle Undoing is expanding beyond my own story, and creating space for others to share their experiences of illness and change. At its core, it’s about leaving with a sense of connection, support, and making room for the imperfect.
Why we do it
Through lived-experience storytelling, creative media, and community connection, The Gentle Undoing acknowledges that each person’s story is deeply personal, entirely their own, and worthy of being seen, even when it feels messy or unfinished.
We’re here to listen, to hold space, and to honour each story as it is.
Our work blends:
-
personal storytelling
-
long-form and short form interviews
-
creative, lived experience content
-
community collaboration
These elements explore themes of identity, grief, healing, routine and belonging.
Here, we share stories about what it means to rebuild - emotionally, physically and socially. Not to offer perfect answers, but to give language to experiences that are often invisible. To remind people they’re not the only ones moving through the quiet, complicated parts of survivorship and change.
