After twenty years in a traditional classroom, she refreshed her career in teaching to work 100% remotely with high school students in Europe who are earning a second high school diploma here in the U.S. In addition to teaching, she has dabbled in writing and public speaking, and most recently, spoke a women’s conference leading guests through an activity in visualization and goal setting. She and her husband spend part of every year in northwest Spain, where they plan to set up a home base while they travel and enjoy the flexibility of a remote career.

About Bonnie Bonni's first refresh occurred just after spending her 30th birthday, and the two weeks following, snowed in by a blizzard.  That was when she realized she had to do something different. While she was there for everyone else, she neglected herself. Six months later she left D.C., landing in Southern California.  With a fresh, new world, she finally lost 100 lbs. and improved her health significantly. This led to becoming a trainer and nutrition coach. What followed was a series of refreshes while she sought her purpose and place in health. Knowing another refresh was pending, she earned a degree in alternative medicine and began a mission to dispel misinformation and lies about diet and food sources. She hopes to be part of the movement helping others eat healthier and reduce the growing number of inflammatory and metabolic issues in the world.
