The Blaze Trails Podcast
Hey there, and welcome to the Blaze Trails podcast!
We’re so excited you’re here. Blaze Trails is the UK’s parent and baby walking community — and honestly, it’s all about getting outdoors, making memories, and feeling a little more like yourself again (with your baby in tow, of course!).
We absolutely love helping parents feel confident outside — whether that’s by joining one of our 80+ local walking groups or hanging out with us online. Nature does wonders for us all, but let’s be real — getting out the front door with a baby isn’t always easy. That’s why we’ve created this podcast: to be a friendly voice in your ear while you walk, and a reminder that you’re not doing this alone.
Our goal is simple: we want to nurture a sense of community, spark some inspiration, and help you feel more connected — to nature, to other parents, and to yourself. Think of this podcast as your walking buddy: here to lift you up, share stories, and keep you company on those baby-led adventures.
Each episode, you’ll hear from your hosts — India, Iona, and Rehna — three Blaze Trails parents who know just how powerful (and sometimes messy!) getting outside with little ones can be. We’ll be diving into everything from practical tips for getting out there, to mental health, to how to find your village. Plus, we’ll bring you inspiring chats with guest experts and real stories from Blaze Trails parents across the country.

The Power of Community in Parenthood
In this heartwarming episode of the Blaze Trails Podcast, hosts Rehna, Iona, and India open up about their personal experiences with community and how it has shaped their journeys through motherhood.
From the early, often isolating days of parenting to the joy of finding connection through shared walks and conversations, they reflect on how powerful it is to feel seen, supported, and surrounded by others who get it.
Later in the episode, Rehna is joined by fellow parent, Blaze Trails Director and Community Manager Elizabeth for a deep and honest conversation about the essential role of community in parenting—especially through the magic of getting outside.
Together, they share how meaningful connections have transformed their parenting experiences, and how outdoor spaces offer the perfect setting for those bonds to grow. They also dive into the evolving role of digital connection in modern parenthood, and how to strike a healthy balance between online support and face-to-face interaction.
Whether you’re feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or just looking to build your village, this episode is a gentle reminder: you’re not alone—and community is often just a walk away.
Whether you’re a seasoned explorer or just starting to venture out with your little one, this episode is full of inspiration and practical advice to help you feel more confident, connected, and cared for—indoors and out.
