The Silent Mother Project with Sam Richardson
Motherhood isn’t quiet, but the world always told us to be.
Welcome to The Silent Mother Project with Sam Richardson, a storytelling podcast for the moms who’ve carried entire worlds on their backs and were still told to “be grateful” and “stay strong.” 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.
This is her diary in podcast form: honest, messy, funny, painful, and empowering. Here we talk identity after motherhood, raising kids with trauma, the grief you don’t post about, the online chaos, the content creator life, and what it means to keep going when life keeps throwing plot twists.
If you’ve ever felt voiceless, invisible, or like you’re drowning while holding everyone else up, this is your space.

CPTSD, Loss, and Survival: Protecting My Family
In today’s episode of Living Richardson, I open up about the deeply personal and emotional toll the defamation lawsuit took on me, especially as someone living with Complex PTSD. I share how the loss of my daughter Kaydance shaped my fierce need to protect my living children, and how that trauma drove me into survival mode during the lawsuit. From losing contracts to being stalked and harassed by strangers, this episode goes beyond the lawsuit to explore the raw truth of how trauma influenced every decision I made. I also reflect on how moving has impacted my healing journey, acknowledging that while things are better, the hypervigilance of CPTSD remains a constant companion. Join me for an honest look at life after loss, and the ongoing battle to find peace.
