Today in the Confessional, host Sandy Lowres chats with special guest Sam Bloom. Sam's life would be changed forever when, on a family holiday in Thailand, Sam fell 6 feet from a broken railing leaving her paralysed. Her recovery was long, involving moments of intense darkness. An unexpected visitor to the Bloom household arrived in the form of a baby native bird - a Magpie they named Penguin. Her husband Cameron, a photographer, captured the most heartwarming images of Penguin with Sam and the family. Penguin would help Sam, and the whole family to heal.
Sam's extraordinary journey was told in her best-selling book Heartache & Birdsong, and is now the focus of a beautiful film - Penguin Bloom - starring Australian Hollywood actress Naomi Watts.
Sam is now a champion athlete, representing Australia in the canoe world championships and is also a 2 x World Champion Para Surfer.
She shares her journey here with honesty and an open heart.
