About
Beyond the Playground was created with one mission: inspire parents to embrace adventure with their kids.
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 check out of life, sit on the sidelines and watch 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.
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 live and parent. If you too are ready to find yourself again and raise kids who are curious, capable, and brave, you’re in the right place.
