What happens when life calls you to face your fears? Surfer, adventurer and mother of three Sam Bloom had to face that call after a 2013 family holiday went tragically wrong.
Sam is a two-time world para surfing champion. She is the bestselling author of two books, and the subject of the 2020 film Penguin Bloom, starring Naomi Watts. Those three works detail the tragic accident that left Sam paralysed from the chest down, and the unexpected guest – an injured magpie in need of care -- who helped Sam rehabilitate and regain a deeper sense of herself again.
Sam shares about her experience of moving away from brink of despair, navigating grief, and how getting back in the water first angered, then buoyed her.
