Sam Bloom: Triumph Over Tragedy and the Power of Positivity

I just think, just try and keep on living the best life I can and keep surfing.
What happens when life as you know it changes in an instant? Sam Bloom knows this all too well. In this episode of 'All In The Mind', Lynne Malcolm sits down with Sam, a surfer whose life took a dramatic turn after a devastating accident left her paraplegic. But Sam's story is far from one of defeat. Instead, it's a tale of resilience, determination, and the incredible strength of the human spirit.
Sam opens up about her mental health struggles following her injury and how she found a new purpose through competitive surfing. She talks about the vital role of support systems and her ongoing advocacy for spinal cord injury research. Her journey is so inspiring that it even became the subject of the film 'Penguin Bloom', which captures her family's experiences.
Tune in to hear Sam's full interview and be moved by her unwavering optimism and commitment to living life to the fullest.
