Hi!

I’m Rachel Russell. I’m a teacher, emotion coach, author, researcher, speaker, and mum, with nearly thirty years of experience guiding kids, parents and educators. I founded Quite Frankly Coaching to help families raise regulated, autonomous, and daring kids.

I hold a master’s degree in early childhood and possess a deep understanding of brain-based parenting. My approach is practical, compassionate, and based on real-world experience. I believe that when we grasp what is happening inside a child’s brain and body, we feel more confident, more connected, and far better prepared to support them.

Through my seminars, one-on-one sessions, public speaking, honest conversations, and my podcast The Parent Pod, I have supported countless children, parents, and educators in reconnecting with who they really are. I care deeply about emotional literacy, regulation, and creating environments where kids and adults feel safe enough to flourish.
