Podcast appearances and mentions of sam bloom

This week Nicola and Di chat with the remarkable Sam Bloom. Sam’s a mum of 3, who lived a very full and active life until a devastating accident in Thailand left her paralysed. In the midst of rebuilding, along came Penguin, the little magpie who helped her heal. Their story became a best-selling book, captured by her photographer husband Cam, and later turned into a global hit film, Penguin Bloom. Now a world-champion para-kayaker, surfer and a passionate advocate, Sam is testament to the inner strength that each of us can find when faced with adversity. In this conversation, we hear about that fateful day in Thailand, when in the blink of an eye, Sam’s life changed forever when she fell through a rotten balcony railing and crashed six metres onto the concrete below. Sam shares just how awful that experience was, including the moment when she was told she would never walk again, and she thought that her life was over. Sam opens up about how much guilt she felt as a mother who could no longer look after her 3 boys in the way that she used to. The simple things she wasn’t able to do for them, and how much she hated the way the tables had turned and her boys needed to look after her. We also hear about the incredible moments of support and acts of kindness from her family and those around her, that gave her a renewed sense of purpose and allowed her to find hope again through competitive para-kayaking. Sam went on to compete in competitions around the world, and was also encouraged to get back into surfing, and went on to win Gold for Australia in the 2018, 2020 and 2023 World Para Surfing Championships. And of course we talk about the beautiful story of a little magpie named Penguin, who also played a big part in Sam’s healing. Sam shares how what started as an Instagram account, went onto become a best-selling book and then a film with Naomi Watts. This is such a beautiful and honest conversation about the importance of community, resilience, and the healing power of laughter and purpose. We were so honoured to have this chat with Sam and we hope you love it as much as we did.

What were you doing on Boxing Day morning in 2004? Sarah Ayles was on a beach in Sri Lanka, putting on a mask about to go snorkelling with her business partner and ex-boyfriend, when her life changed forever. The Boxing Day Tsunami was caused by an earthquake in the Indian Ocean and experts say it had the energy of 23,000 Hiroshima-type atomic bombs. 227,898 people lost their lives across Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand but Sarah survived.

Sam Bloom is a four-time para surfing world champion. But it was with the help of a magpie named penguin that she found her way there. Growing up by the beach, Sam always had a strong connection with the ocean. But after an accident left her paralysed and in a dark place, it was Sam's companion Penguin that helped reignite that love for the water. So much so, that she won two Australian Para-canoeing titles, and represented Australia at the Para-Canoeing World Championships. But she eventually found her way back to the Ocean, winning gold at the World Para-Surfing Championships, not once but four times, including most recently this year. This chat shows that sometimes you have to dig really deep to find your inner strength, but sometimes a feathered friend can help along the way.

Sam Bloom is a world champion adaptive surfer, a competitive kayak racer, a public speaker, world traveler, and a wife and a mother to three boys. The story of her accident resulting in spinal cord injury and the recovery process for Sam and her family is the inspiration for the feature film Penguin Bloom starring Naomi Watts and Andrew Lincoln. Sam is fortunate to have many opportunities in her life, and for that she is grateful. She also refreshingly candid and unafraid to share the challenges she experiences and the duality of living with a spinal cord injury.

From 2023: Sam Bloom reflects on the tragic accident that changed her lifeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stephanie Wurst was born and raised in the city, and unexpectedly met a farmer on the dancefloor, and soon found herself moving to Kangaroo Island! Steph and her husband Tom went on to have three kids where she had to adapt quickly to the realities of living remotely with limited services. She was flown off the island to have her first baby, and nearly lost her second child during labour. But after all that, as a mum of three, Steph thrived- she loved motherhood, and she grew to adore life on the land. But on January 3rd 2020, Steph and her family lost everything in the Black Summer Fires... their home, most of their farm, and half their livestock.  Steph's story is one of heartache, but it's also about rebuilding and the silver linings that can come from unimaginable loss.  Steph also has some important advice to share when it comes to preparing for bushfire season.

I am so excited about this week's guest having followed her story (and had her on our ultimate wish list) for many years now. Some of you may already know her, but if not, Sam Bloom is a world champion surfer, adventure traveller, best-selling author, neurology nurse and mother of three boys whose story also became a global hit movie, Penguin Bloom. That heartbreaking story begins in 2013 when Sam was paralysed in a terrifying accident in Thailand when she fell through a rotting balcony and it was the unlikely arrival of a beautiful magpie chick, Penguin, that helped her gruelling recovery back in Australia. The photos captured by her photographer husband, Cameron, were later made into a book written alongside legendary author Bradley Trevor Grieve and then became the basis of Penguin Bloom starring Naomi Watts. Having pored over Penguin Bloom many times, it was surreal to be able to hear Sam chat so candidly about grief and redefining joy in real time – she is so refreshingly honest about the defining trauma in her life and that the challenges endure everyday. But what I also loved was having the chance to also ask Sam about all the other parts of her life that perhaps don't relate so much to the story many know her for. I could go on forever but I'll let Sam tell you the rest herself – this is one of my favourite chats to date and I am so grateful for her time. I hope you enjoy as much as I did!

A story of hope, resilience and thriving through life's biggest fears. Sam Bloom joins us on the podcast for this special episode.  Sam is a a motivational speaker, a World para surfing champion, mum, wife , survivor, author and absolutely divine soul.  I met Sam and her husband Cam several months ago at an event she was speaking at, and I clicked with them both instantly through their warmth and kindness.  Ten years ago, Sam's life changed forever in the blink of an eye, a heartbeat, a split second in time. She had everything she had always dreamed of. She'd travelled extensively, fulfilled her childhood dream of becoming a nurse and was a happily married mother of three young boys. Without warning, the dream turned into a nightmare when on a 2013 family holiday in Thailand, Sam fell through a rotten balcony railing and crashed six metres onto the concrete below. Lucky to be alive, she'd suffered devastating injuries, including severe damage to her spinal cord that left her paralysed from the chest down. The conversation I had with Sam was moving, honest, raw and in her words, different to the many interviews she has had before. We discuss living through life's biggest fears and so much more.  To connect with Sam visit  https://sambloom.com.au/  -- LET'S KEEP THE CONVERSATION GOING To connect with us at Guide Your Light Network, visit www.guideyourlightnetwork.com or email info@guideyourlightnetwork.com Join our Instagram communities here: https://www.instagram.com/maritza_barone/ https://www.instagram.com/thingsyoucantunhear/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 2013, Sam Bloom, an avid traveller, keen sportswoman, nurse, wife and Mum to three young boys, was holidaying in Thailand with her family when in a literal split second, she fell six metres through the decayed railing of an observation deck fence, landing on concrete. As a result of the fall, she suffered devastating injuries, including severe damage to her spinal cord that left her paralysed from the chest down. The personal journey and unexpected bond with an injured magpie her sons named 'Penguin' that followed her accident went on to be documented in a hugely successful book named 'Penguin Bloom', photographed by Sam's husband Cam and written by acclaimed Australian author Bradley Trevor-Greive. But what followed that went beyond Cam and Sam's wildest dreams. Actress Naomi Watts soon came calling, wanting to produce and star in a movie version of the book, which was released internationally in 2020 to critical acclaim. If this wasn't enough to cultivate a prolific public profile for Sam, she also went on to take up kayaking and became a two-time World Parasurfing Champion. I had the absolute pleasure of catching up with Sam about her experiences as a traveller both before and after the accident recently. Her insights proved to further fuel my drive to do as much as I can to increase the amount of high-quality accessible accommodation both here and the world over. I hope you enjoy this very special chat between myself and Sam today.

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 Penguim 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. ....Learn more:Penguin BloomSpinal Cure Australia...Listen with Lauren L.

Sam Bloom and Steph Aceglav catch up about Sam's new book Heartache & Birdsong and talk about life, Penguin Bloom, kindness, mental health, travel, sport and why it's so important not to put your dreams on hold.

Sam Bloom is one of Australia's most remarkable and resilient women. Her life-changing story begins with the blink of an eye, a heartbeat, a split second in time. That’s all it took for Sam’s life to change forever. Sam had everything she had always dreamed of. She’d travelled extensively, fulfilled her childhood dream of becoming a nurse and was a happily married mother of three young boys. She spent her time raising her family on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, and ran, swam, biked and surfed every chance she had. Life was bliss. Without warning, the dream turned into a nightmare. Back in 2013, while on a family holiday in Thailand, Sam leant against a rotten balcony railing and fell through it, crashing six metres onto the concrete below. She was lucky to be alive and had suffered devastating injuries, including severe damage to her spinal cord that left her completely paralysed from the chest down. Broken and hopeless, Sam reached her outer limits of physical and mental suffering. And then Penguin arrived. Penguin was a baby magpie who fell from a tree and was rescued by the Bloom family who cared for her until she was strong. Yet while free to leave, she didn’t. she lived with the Bloom family for two years and in that time, gave Sam the sense of purpose, hope, and courage she was missing. This little bird changed Sam’s life. The incredible story of Penguin Bloom was turned into a book and is soon to be a major Hollywood movie, starring Naomi Watts and Andrew Lincoln. Now, Sam has just shared her story for the first time in a new book, Sam Bloom: Heartache & Birdsong. In the book, she writes about what it is really like to face life in a wheelchair. The new book is humbling, heartbreaking and uplifting in equal measure. You can purchase the book here. In our conversation today, we talk about: Life before Sam’s accident. The day her life and body was broken. The months that followed the accident and the day she was told she’d never walk again. Her new book Sam Bloom: Heartache & Birdsong, where she writes about what it is really like to face life in a wheelchair. What she has learnt about resilience and adversity. The biggest misconceptions about life in a wheelchair. Getting back on a surfboard and how that felt. Penguin – the little magpie that changed her life.
