Ruthless Compassion Institute I help women heal their emotional wounds to become powerful kindness warriors.

The fundamental aim of the Ruthless Compassion Institute is for our clients to lead richer, happier, and easier lives through the practice of Ruthless Compassion. The institute is dedicated to improving lives by empowering people to be more conscious, make reality-based choices and break dysfunctional patterns of thinking and behavior.

“Personal healing and greater awareness make a significant i

A person who is preoccupied with having s*x is likely to be a bad lover, because they’re focused on their own gratification. A person who’s interested in love is more likely to be a good lover, because they’re focused on deepening the connection.

Love is given freely or not at all. You never have to try to “earn” love. People will love you if they’re capable of it and if the two of you are a good fit. Just be yourself. No need to try so hard.
