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.

Sleep, Recovery & Pelvic Health - Preparing for Getting Outside
If you’re a new parent trying to balance sleep deprivation, postpartum recovery, and self-care, this episode is for you!
India, Rehna, and Iona kick off the episode by sharing their personal experiences with physical health and becoming parents. They get real about the challenges of maintaining movement and emotional well-being after childbirth, the societal pressures around postpartum recovery, and the ongoing struggle to find balance between caring for little ones and taking time for themselves.
Later in the episode, India sits down with Cher Hart, an osteopath specialising in women’s health, to dive deeper into postpartum recovery, pelvic health, and self-care strategies for new mums. Cher shares expert insights into hormonal changes, pelvic floor strength, and key recovery techniques, including the 555 protocol and Daily 7 movements, which help new mums reconnect with their bodies after birth.
They also discuss getting outside for mental health, choosing the right baby carrier, and recognising red flags in postpartum recovery.
This episode is packed with expert advice, real-life experiences, and practical tips to help you feel more confident in your postpartum journey. So whether you’re tuning in on a walk, enjoying a rare quiet moment, or just looking for reassurance that you’re doing great—we’ve got you. 💛
