Come and listen to our Host, Candace Gish, as she chats with today's guest, Bonnie Strati, for our “Determined, Not Distracted” Podcast Series.

This mini-series serves as your blueprint for a high-impact year, distilling success into three non-negotiables: Goal Clarity, Resilience, and Commitment. By sharpening your focus, hardening your mental toughness, and anchoring your habits in discipline, you’ll shift from chasing temporary inspiration to achieving unstoppable, year-long momentum. 

Bonnie Strati is a transformational life coach and holistic wellness guide devoted to helping people heal, awaken, and reclaim their most authentic selves. With a background in fitness, nutrition, somatic movement, emotional resilience, and spiritual development, she supports clients who are navigating life transitions, burnout, grief, or the quiet ache of feeling stuck.

A former competitive athlete and seasoned educator in health and wellness, Bonnie spent years helping others strengthen their bodies—until life called her to strengthen something deeper: her spirit. Her personal journey through heartbreak, reinvention, and spiritual awakening became the foundation of her coaching practice and her debut book, Built Stronger: The Art of Becoming Whole Again.

Bonnie’s coaching blends soulful insight with practical tools—drawing from movement, mindset work, energy healing, and intuitive guidance. She helps clients release what no longer serves them and build a life aligned with truth, vitality, and purpose.

Through her practice, Built Stronger Coaching, Bonnie offers high-touch coaching programs, restorative movement and breathwork, somatic release techniques, and wellness retreats. Her work is especially aligned with individuals in midlife and beyond who are ready not just to heal—but to rise into their next chapter with intention and joy.

Bonnie lives in Connecticut and is the proud mother of two grown sons. When she’s not supporting others, you’ll find her journaling by candlelight, walking in nature, or planning her next soulful adventure.
