Recharge with Lodestar™ — Helping the Helpers
Coaching is relational work.
It requires empathy, presence, and a steady nervous system.
Over time, that level of attunement takes a toll.
Recharge with Lodestar™ was designed by coaches, for coaches to help restore the energy, clarity, and coherence that make great coaching sustainable.
Lodestar faculty understand the cumulative impact of holding space for others. This small-group experience blends the neuroscience of stress and resilience, trauma-responsive coaching practices, Polyvagal Theory, and reflective, community-building space to help recalibrate your system — and stay in the work you love without losing yourself.
What You’ll Experience
Through six live sessions with guided reflection between meetings, you will:
✓ Recognize signs of secondary and vicarious stress in your own system
✓ Strengthen boundaries without losing compassion
✓ Practice self-regulation tools grounded in Polyvagal Theory
✓ Reconnect to purpose, presence, and professional joy
✓ Develop a language and structure for ongoing self-care in your coaching practice
✓ Build community with other professional coaches
You deserve to Recharge. Get started below.

Why This Work Matters
Sustainable coaching begins with a regulated coach. Recharge with Lodestar draws from the same trauma-responsive principles that anchor Lodestar’s Second Responder™ and All of Us™ programs: safety before strategy, reflection before reaction, connection before correction.
Each session models what it teaches—slower, closer work that replenishes capacity rather than performance.
Your time to Recharge is now.
