The Silent Mother Project
Meet The Team

Founder & CEO
Sam Richardson
Samantha is a writer, creator, and mother of four—one who lives in her heart, and three she’s raising in her home. After surviving loss, trauma, and a defamation lawsuit that nearly broke her, she chose to turn her pain into purpose. That purpose became The Silent Mother Project—a space for the stories that don’t make the highlight reel, for the mothers who feel like they’re drowning in silence, and for anyone healing out loud.
She’s a firm believer that motherhood is both a battlefield and a rebirth—and that when we speak our truth, we give others permission to do the same.

Operations Director
Katie Ruthsatz
Katie is a homeschooling, stay-at-home mom of two boys who brings both heart and hustle to The Silent Mother Project. Before stepping into full-time motherhood, she ran her own bakery, where her passion for serving others was baked into everything she did. With a deep empathy for the unseen emotional labor of motherhood, Katie now channels that same energy into supporting women through honest connection, gentle encouragement, and unwavering care. She's the kind of person who shows up, checks in, and makes sure no one feels alone.
