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.
