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.

When Healing Feels Like Losing: How I Found Myself In Motherhood
What if healing doesn’t feel like peace, but like grief?
In this raw and unfiltered episode, Sam opens up about what it really looks like to heal while mothering. From losing old identities to outgrowing relationships that only valued her performance, she explores the quiet heartbreak of becoming someone new, and the surprising joy she found in the middle of it all.
This is for the mothers healing in silence. The women rediscovering themselves in the stillness. The ones who are grieving their old selves while slowly, painfully, beautifully growing into someone more grounded, more present, more whole.
Sam also shares the truth about being a stay-at-home mom for ten years and what it means now that her house is quiet, and the noise she’s left to face within herself.
And for those who resonated with this episode, Sam introduces The Silent Mother Project, a nonprofit and growing community for mothers carrying invisible grief and untold stories. Because no mother should have to heal alone.
