## Resource

In this episode, Andrew Telfer speaks with Dr Katy O’Neill Gutierrez, founder of Blaze Trails - a UK-based parent and baby walking community that has grown from a small local group into a nationwide movement supporting over 28,000 parents. Katy shares how Blaze Trails began as a way to stay connected to the outdoors after becoming a parent, and how it evolved during COVID into a support system for new parents facing isolation, anxiety, and loss of confidence. The conversation explores the power of peer-led communities, the barriers parents face in getting outdoors, and why something as simple as walking can have a profound impact on mental health, identity, and connection. Music: Exercise by Mary Erskine (Me for Queen) Read more about Blaze Trails here.
