Episode 11: How I Finally Stopped ‘Looking for The One’ with Bonnie Serratore

Initiations in Love Podcast

In today’s episode, Britta talks with Bonnie Serratore about her lifelong journey to find ‘The One’. Bonnie shares what she means by the term ‘The One’, and takes us from the beginning stages of her very challenging journey as a young person, all the way to where she has arrived today: At true inner peace. (Trigger Warning): This episode covers difficult themes such as childhood trauma, abuse, and suicidal ideation. However, Bonnie speaks from a place of profound healing and transformation. Her story is a testament to the power and resilience of the human spirit, of letting go and finding peace within. Through saying ‘Yes’ to our particular Initiations in Love, we can learn how to move through even life's most challenging moments and emerge stronger, more compassionate, and more deeply connected to ourselves.

Bonnie Serratore began her healing journey in 1984. While stuck in a period where she experienced many lows, Bonnie temporarily experienced a state of pure awakening. During this state she realized that she possessed certain innate gifts. Ever since, Bonnie has developed her talents, which she has used to help others directly and also to teach others techniques to help themselves. Her modality of healing ultimately shifts our subconscious, opens our heart, and deepens our connection with love and Creation. The result is liberation - liberation from our mind thoughts, emotional pain, self-doubt, inner prison and great suffering. She is the founder of Spiritual Acceleration.
