I didn't expect the conversations to do this, maybe I did, I'm not sure what I was expecting tbh.

I've been spending time at parks, at kinder pickups, and in WhatsApp chats with my mum friends as part of the research I've been doing for Tribu.

When they ask what I do and I explain it, we almost always end up on the topic of wills.

What genuinely surprised me isn't the problem. I was quickly becoming familiar with the problem.

It's that almost nobody I've spoken to doesn't care. Every single person knows they should have it sorted. Some of them have the paperwork. It's just sitting at home unsigned, unwitnessed.

The barrier isn't attitude. It's the combination of discomfort, time, and the fact that getting a will done means sitting with something most of us aren't quite ready to face.

But the conversations themselves are doing something.

Parents are going home and talking to their partner about these things. Before the product even exists.

That's the part I didn't see coming. And it's bloody exciting to see tiny little sparks flying.

I knew Karl had life insurance. I didn't know which super fund it was attached to, what the policy actually covered, or how I'd access it if I needed to.

He knew the same amount about mine - nothing!

Sound familiar?!

We talk about everything. That wasn't the problem.

The problem is nobody has ever built a proper home for this information. It gets distributed across inboxes, PDFs, and the back of one person's mind, and it stays there until something forces the conversation.

That's the structural layer of family life. And it's what I'm building Tribu to fix it.

If being an organ and tissue donor is on your life admin to-do list here is your reminder that apparently it only takes a minute at donatelife.gov.au.

You need your Medicare card and your donation could save up to seven lives.

This is something that I've always had on my to-do list and I've actually just never quite gotten around to doing it but I'm committed today.

I'm going to do it.

Meet Pafan, Tribu's very first Founding Family member.

I met her completely by chance at a regional pub a few months ago. We got chatting, I told her about Tribu, and she was hooked. Not in a polite, 'sounds interesting' way, in a 'I actually need this' way.

When she asked how she could get involved, I told her: become a Founding Family. Help me shape what gets built. Lock in a lifetime subscription at a price that will never go up.

That night, the first sign-up landed in my inbox.

Pafan gets it. She knows the mental load of keeping a household running, the information that lives entirely in one person's head.

That's exactly who I'm building this for.

If you've ever thought 'someone should just sort this out', that's what Tribu is.

And right now, you can help shape it.

I did a life admin audit and saved our family around $900 in 15 minutes.

We had no single place where everything lived, so things just... accumulated quietly.

Roadside assistance. Paid twice. Different providers and neither flagged because we'd set them at different times and not looked at them side by side.

The $900 wasn't necessarily hiding, but I didn't have the headspace to do utility and internet comparisons at the time. Then I did and across the year the estimated saving on those three if we changed providers was approx $900. That's not chump change!

That's what a family index does. Not budgeting. Not tracking. Just: here is everything we have, lined up where you can actually see it. Most families don't have time for it, but most families would find something that could be centralised or optimised.

Tribu is built around this. If you want to be one of the first 100 families in, the link is in my bio.

To the mothers, the soon to be mothers, the women who are there for mothers, those without their mothers... actually to all the women.

Most parents rarely sit down and look at the structural layer of their family's life together. This is absolutely not a judgement, it's just the result of being assailed with demands on our time every minute of the day.

Here's a start - six things. One evening. You'll be surprised by what surfaces. We were.

You don't have to solve all of it. You just need to be aware.

Send this to your partner, and save for when you're ready to sit down together.

And if you're looking for somewhere for it all to live, check out tribuvault.com.au :)

The insurances (or some of them) are in Gmail. The passwords are all the same, or they're saved... somewhere 🙄.

There's definitely a screenshot of the policy number on an old phone.

This is what managing the structural layer of family life actually looks like in practice. Not failing.

Just spread across every inbox, reset link, and app you've opened in the last two years trying to find the one thing you need right now.

Tribu is one place for all of it. Every policy, every renewal date, every document.

So when someone asks "what's our home insurance policy number?" you know where to look.

I was telling a parent about Tribu the other day and she said, have you seen the Admin Night trend for the young people on socials? Absolutely not, but I went deep. And I'm onboard.

But let's flip the script for parents and get us involved.

Budget date night has been a thing for years, thanks 🍻

But what about the rest of it? The will that doesn't exist. The insurance renewal coming up in three months. The super beneficiary that was supposed to be updated and wasn't.

That's not just a money conversation. That's the structural layer of your family's life. And most couples have never actually sat down and looked at it together.

Admin night for girlfriends is everywhere right now. The couples version is the one I'm interested in.

Founding Families page is in my bio. 100 spots.

One parent in your house knows where everything is. The insurance. The will. The super login. The mortgage documents. The renewal coming up in six weeks.

The other one has no idea — not because they don't care, but because it all gradually became one person's job.

That's not a personal failing. It's a structural problem. Nobody built a place for this layer of family life to live.

I'm building Tribu because I lived this. When I audited my own family's documents, I found my husband's life insurance was based on our old mortgage and only one child.

Tribu centralises the scattered layer of family life. One place, accessible to both partners, flagged when something needs attention.

100 Founding Family spots. $20 holds yours. $150/year locked for life, the lowest rate Tribu will ever offer.

Hi I'm Katie.

I'm currently building a new web-app for Australian families called Tribu.

The idea is to create a secure digital home for the really important parts of family life — things like documents, insurance, property info, all that serious admin that usually ends up scattered everywhere.

But it’s not just storage. The goal is for Tribu to also guide you — to help you spot gaps, stay on top of things, and make decisions earlier rather than in a panic.

I’m still building it, and honestly I’d love people to come on the journey with me while I shape it.

If this is something you’d want, or you’ve got thoughts on what would make it useful, I really want to hear from you.

I’ve opened a waitlist where I’ll share updates and ask for input as it develops.

You can join via the link in my bio.
