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.

Put the Cape Down: Lala on SEND, Community & Guilt-Free Joy
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this powerful conversation, Nyah sits with Lala — founder of The Hive, an events company creating judgment-free, joy-first spaces for parents of children with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities). Lala shares why so many SEND parents only get invited to “serious” rooms (tribunals, workshops, advocacy) and how she’s flipping the script: nights out where mums and dads can feel free, be seen, and remember who they are beyond the label “carer.” We dig into mum-guilt, the pressure to be “on” 24/7, and why sometimes the bravest act is putting the cape down.
Together we unpack neurodiversity, communication, and expectations — from the myth of “disobedience” to how kids actually process the world. Lala gets real about raising two very different boys, backing their individual paths (football, business, creativity) and building networks early. Nyah opens up about therapy, emotional literacy, and designing tools like Trybe so handing over childcare — allergies, routines, comfort items — feels safer and lighter. If you’ve ever needed permission to breathe, laugh, and feel supported, this one’s for you.
If this conversation sat with you — that's the Purple Print doing its thing.
