Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast focuses on parenting challenges, mental load, and personal growth. Topics include balancing careers and motherhood, financial education for children, and building supportive communities. Episode highlights include discussions on entrepreneurship among parents, navigating lockdown challenges, and maintaining personal identity after becoming a parent.
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.
This week on The Parent Playbook, Nyah sits down with Tobi Oredein — founder and CEO of Black Ballad, the ultimate modern members club for Black women, creating media, events and brand partnerships that reach and celebrate a community of over 2,000 women. Tobi is also a mum of two, with an 18-month age gap between her daughter and son — and as she puts it, the first year of her son's life was simply survival mode.
They met over a fancy dinner at the Royal Albert Hall watching Erykah Badu perform — and the conversation on the purple couch is every bit as good as that night sounds.
Tobi gets into what it really looks like to be an entrepreneur-mum in the belly of a growing business. The invisible load that doubles when you are running a company and raising children at the same time. The career mistakes she made during maternity leave — the ones she now calls learning curves. The nausea of a second pregnancy with an 18-month-old at home. The beautiful bond that formed between her husband and her daughter while she was too sick to change a nappy. And the upfront pain of a close age gap that she now describes as long-term gain.
They also talk about what it means to raise Black children with intention — why there is no room in Tobi's world for her children to be average, and why giving them their voice, their manners and their understanding of the world they are growing into is not ambition, it is love. The Point Black Ballet School. Writing sessions with her son. Singing in the car. The morning hair routine she used to avoid and now treasures. A cooking class in Florence that became her favourite family memory.
And the advice she would give to any woman entrepreneur who is putting off motherhood because of where she is in her business — do it. Build your village. Because the satisfaction your family gives you does not compare.
Transparent, warm and completely unfiltered. This one helps you realise you are probably not parenting as badly as you think.
If this conversation sat with you — that's the Purple Print doing its thing.
