Soul-Aligned Business Coaching
Business Coaching for Quietly Brilliant Nurse Coaches Who Want to Break the High-Effort, Low-Return Cycle
Most Coaches Give You THEIR Map. I Help You Design YOUR Compass.
Hi, I’m Karen Retardo, MA, BSN, RN
I coach nurse coaches and nurse entrepreneurs who are doing all the things but still struggling with inconsistent clients.
You're exhausted. You're second-guessing everything. And deep down, you wonder if something's wrong with you.
I help you align your inner system with strategy that fits your natural wiring—using CliftonStrengths, Spiritual Psychology, and strategic timing—so clients come consistently without exhaustion or force.
“Why Can't I Just Follow the Steps?" → to "Oh. This Is MY Way.”
If you've been forcing yourself into frameworks that drain you, wondering why the "proven systems" feel so hard — this is your turning point.
Book a free 45-minute clarity session and we'll explore: Why that LinkedIn advice felt wrong for you. What business approach would actually fit your CliftonStrengths. And the first step on YOUR compass — not someone else's map.
No pitch. No strings-attached. Just clarity on what's been blocking you and what comes next.

“Before starting the coaching program, I was struggling with a lack of confidence and direction in my life. The sessions provided me with a newfound sense of confidence, teaching me the importance of listening to my body and embracing my right to make decisions that truly reflect my needs and aspirations. What I valued most was the ability to be my authentic self in every session, supported by a coaching style that was engaging, interactive, and nurturing.
A significant milestone for me was gaining the courage to pursue what I desired, even when it meant declining a job offer that didn't meet my expectations, illustrating the confidence and clarity I've gained. The coaching exceeded my expectations through exceptional availability and support, making me feel heard, seen, and valued. This experience has been transformative, and I wholeheartedly recommend Karen’s coaching services to anyone looking to make a profound change in their life.”
