I’m Samantha (Sam) Richardson, the founder of The Silent Mother Project, a community born from grief, resilience, and the unspoken truths of motherhood.

​

I’m a content creator, a mother of four - one in my heart, three in my arms - and an advocate for mental health and trauma awareness. This project was born from my own story: surviving childhood trauma, living with chronic illness, navigating the crushing weight of loss, and enduring a defamation lawsuit that threatened the very safety I fought so hard to create for my family.

​

I started Living Richardson during the pandemic as a way to connect through humor and honesty - documenting the chaos of marriage, motherhood, and mental health with unfiltered realness. What began as content soon became a movement: a place for people to laugh, cry, and feel a little less alone.

​

But as my life unraveled and rebuilt itself in ways I never expected, so did my purpose. I realized I wasn’t the only one holding stories that felt too heavy for small talk, and The Silent Mother Project was my answer to that silence.

 

This isn’t just a platform. It’s a safe space. A place where mothers can speak their truth without fear of judgment or shame. A space where healing doesn’t have to look perfect to be real.

​

If you’ve ever whispered, “No one prepared me for this,” I want you to know, you’re not alone here. You’re seen. You’re heard. And you belong.
