The Silent Mother Project with Sam Richardson
Welcome to The Silent Mother Project with Sam Richardson, a storytelling podcast about breaking the silence around trauma, loss, and the stories we’re taught to keep to ourselves.
Sam became a mom at 18, lost her first daughter to congenital heart disease, survived trauma she never asked for, and built a life rooted in healing, advocacy, and speaking out, loudly.
What started as one mother’s voice has grown into something bigger.
This is her diary in podcast form - honest, messy, funny, painful, and real. A space where we talk about grief that doesn’t fit in a caption, identity after trauma, the weight of holding everything together, the chaos of life online, and what it means to keep going when life keeps rewriting the story.
Rooted in motherhood, but not limited by it, this podcast creates space for anyone who has ever felt voiceless, invisible, or like they’re drowning while holding everyone else up.
You’re not alone in what you’ve been carrying.
