Navigate to component screen in parent stack from child stack

I'm trying to navigate to a screen on my Stack Navigation from my topTab navigation but can't find a way around it. I tried using navigation.getParent() but it throws this error TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'navigation.getParent().navigate')

Here is my code to properly explain:

        <Stack.Navigator
            screenOptions={{
                headerShown: false,
            }}
        >
            <Stack.Screen name="interests" component={Interests} />
            <Stack.Screen name="importSubscriptions" component={ImportSubscriptions} />
            <Stack.Screen name="subscriptions" component={Subscriptions} />
            <Stack.Screen name="bottomTab" component={MainBottomTab} />
            <Stack.Screen name="podcastItem" component={PodcastItemCard}/>
            <Stack.Screen name="player" component={Player} />
            <Stack.Screen name="tabNavigator" component={UsersInterestTab} />

        </Stack.Navigator>

 <Tab.Navigator
                initialRouteName="Feed"
                initialLayout={{ width: Dimensions.get('window').width }}
                screenOptions={{
                    tabBarActiveTintColor: Colors.white,
                    tabBarInactiveTintColor: Colors.gray_2,
                    activeBackgroundColor: Colors.blue_primary,
                    tabBarScrollEnabled: true,
                    headerShown: false,
                    tabBarIndicatorStyle: {
                        width: 0,
                        height: 0,
                        elevation: 0,

                    },
                    tabBarItemStyle: { alignItems: 'center', },
                    tabBarLabelStyle: { margin: 0, fontSize: fontSize.xsmall, fontFamily: fontFamily.EuclidCircularARegular, color: Colors.gray_2 },
                    tabBarStyle: {
                        backgroundColor: Colors.white,
                        padding: 0,
                        elevation: 0,   // for Android
                        shadowOffset: {
                            width: 0,
                            height: 0 // for iOS
                        },
                        width: '100%'

                    }
                }}
            >
                <Tab.Screen
                    name={'For you'}
                    component={DiscoverContent}
                    initialParams={{ id: 177 }}
                    options={{
                        tabBarLabel: ({ color, focused }) => (
                            <Text style={[styles.label, { color: color, backgroundColor: focused ? Colors.blue_primary : Colors.white }]}>For you</Text>
                        ),
                    }}
                />
                
                {
                    usersInterests.map((item) => (
                        <Tab.Screen
                            key={item.id}
                            name={item.name}
                            component={DiscoverContent}
                            initialParams={{ id: item.id }}
                            options={{
                                tabBarLabel: ({ color, focused }) => (
                                    <Text style={[styles.label, { color: color, backgroundColor: focused ? Colors.blue_primary : Colors.white }]}>{item.name}</Text>
                                ),
                            }}
                        />
                    ))
                }
            </Tab.Navigator>

I'm trying to access the player component from the tabNavigator screen. How can I go about that ?

you can use useNavigation()

ref:-https://reactnavigation.org/docs/use-navigation/

import { useNavigation } from '@react-navigation/native';

    useNavigation().goBack();

The issue was basically the structure of my navigation. I restructured the navigation without wrapping each Navigator in an individual NavigationaContainer (while passing the Independent props) and it worked.

can you try useNavigation hook? it is working on my side perfectly

Usage

import {useNavigation} from '@react-navigation/native';


const navigation = useNavigation();

navigation.navigate("interests");
//or
navigation.push("interests");
