The Parent Playbook with Princess Nyah

There is no manual.

Nobody handed you an instruction guide when you became a parent. No one warned you about the invisible weight you'd carry — the mental load that never switches off, the identity you'd quietly grieve, the guilt that sits with you at 2am even when you did everything right. The ambition you're still fighting for. The version of yourself you're trying not to lose.

The Parent Playbook by Trybe is where modern parents finally get to tell the truth.

Hosted by Princess Nyah — founder, mum, and the kind of person who makes you feel safe enough to say the real thing — every episode is a deep, unfiltered conversation with parents who are living it: founders, creatives, educators, tech leaders, musicians, and community builders. All of them parents. All of them carrying something the world rarely asks about.

Each conversation is guided by what Nyah calls the Purple Print — the shared emotional patterns, invisible pressures, and survival systems that connect every parent, even when they feel completely alone.

No advice you didn't ask for. No polished parenting expertise. No perfect answers.
Just honest storytelling, lived experience, and the permission to feel fully human.

Every episode ends with the same question:
"What's one part of parenting you were never told would take up so much space in your head?"

And every now and then — Nyah's daughter Kizzy reaches into a jar and asks her own.

The Purple Print

The real patterns parents are living inside — the emotional truths, invisible pressures, and shared experiences that rarely get spoken about honestly. This is the space where they do.

Princess Nyah — founder of Trybe, mother, and host.
She approaches every guest as a person first.
