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.
