Beyond the Playground

We May Be Parents But,

We're Still Cool!

Our family in Yosemite last summer

About

Beyond the Playground was created with one mission:  inspire parents to embrace adventure with their kids. We believe becoming a parent should expand your life, not shrink it.

Before having kids, most of us had hobbies, passions, and dreams. And then life shifted. Somewhere between school drop-offs,  practices, and birthday parties, it became easier to sit on the sidelines watching our kids grow. We started living through them instead of creating our own story. 

 

Beyond the Playground was created to fix this. We help parents rediscover who they are, dream again, and build a life filled with meaning, connection, and adventure with

their kids.

Podcast and Blog

Hosted by me, Laura Frenkel, each week I share honest conversations, inspiring stories, and practical tips from amazing guests and my own life. 

I hope you'll join me as I search for a better way to parent, one that isn’t endless kids’ activities, piles of toys, or constant scrolling. If you too are ready to find yourself again and raise kids who are curious, capable, and brave, you’re in the right place.
