About this listen

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.

    Welcome to Season Three: Life Unmuted.

    In this opening episode, Sam breaks down the origins of Living Richardson and The Silent Mother Project, and why she’s done shrinking herself to be taken seriously. She speaks candidly about child loss, CPTSD, survival mode, motherhood, and what it means to stop performing and start living on her own terms.

    This season is for anyone who has ever been told to be quiet, to be grateful, to be strong without breaking.

    The silence ends here.

    In this episode of Living Richardson, Sam unpacks what it feels like when the right to speak stops feeling safe. From the murders of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, to a local uproar over coach-led prayer, the headlines aren’t just news, they’re personal.

    As a mom of three, a volunteer cheer coach, and someone who has been sued, gagged, and even held in contempt of court for speaking out, Sam shares her full story: the neighbor dispute that spiraled into a two-year legal battle, the camera that invaded her family’s privacy, and how she unexpectedly became known online as the “Queen of the Glory Holes.”

    This is an honest and raw conversation about trauma, resilience, and refusing to be silenced. It’s about the cost of free speech, the power of community, and why silence never protected any of us.

  • Scorched Earth Hysterics

    Scorched Earth Hysterics

    They’ve called me hysterical. They’ve accused me of having a “scorched earth policy.” And most recently, they tried to brand me with “scorched earth hysterics.” But what the world labels as hysteria is often survival.

    In this episode, I reclaim the words that were meant to silence me. From the lawsuit that nearly broke me, to the red-flag radar that comes with living with CPTSD, to the online harassment that keeps resurfacing, I’m pulling it all into the light. Because being loud and assertive doesn’t make me dangerous. It makes me someone who isn’t afraid to use her voice when one is needed.

    Together, we’ll dig into how trauma responses are mislabeled, how dismissal costs survivors their safety, and how what others call hysteria can actually be one of our greatest strengths.

    This is not destruction, it’s survival. This is Scorched Earth Hysterics.
