00:02Like navigating motherhood, this group's taking things one step at a time.
00:07The toddlers are setting the pace and the mothers are happy to let them run wild.
00:14We try really hard not to show us on too many screens and getting outside is a great excuse
00:19and a great distraction sometimes as well and a good reset for all of us I find.
00:23Sabina Kath started Mums Who Hike on the Sunshine Coast a year and a half ago.
00:28I just didn't have any friends who were into the same thing as me,
00:31so I just decided to start a group and find those people myself.
00:35She's since had about 700 people join the free walks,
00:39becoming unofficial tourism ambassadors by sharing the region's stunning scenery online.
00:45It's also helping group members connect.
00:47Motherhood is very lonely even if you are a social person
00:50and so this was the first group that I joined that actually got me out of the house.
00:55One thing that I find so special is that often I find Mums who have never met each other before
00:59and then ten minutes into the walk they're yapping away.
01:04There are other benefits.
01:05Do they sleep well after this?
01:07Yes, always. It's great. Anything for a good sleep.
01:10And the Mums now feel more confident, stepping into the next phase.
01:15When you've got a pack of Mums and you're all together, you've all got each other's back
01:18and so I really do think you feel a lot more safe and secure.
01:21No one's messing with a group of Mums.
01:23No, no, no, no.
