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.

Turning Pain into Purpose
In this deeply personal episode, I’m sharing the journey that started sixteen years ago, when I lost my daughter, Kaydance, at just six weeks old. What followed was a lifetime’s worth of grief, growth, silence, survival… and eventually, healing.
I talk about how that loss shaped me, how it nearly swallowed me, and how I found a way to honor her life through The Silent Mother Project. What started as a podcast to share stories became a full-blown movement to support grieving mothers who are tired of being invisible.
I also share the full-circle moment I experienced this year on the anniversary of her death, why this project matters now more than ever, and how you can be part of it, whether you’ve walked this road or love someone who has.
If you’ve ever felt unseen in your grief… this one is for you.
