In this heartfelt and deeply grounding conversation, Tina sits down with Kym Coco — author, yogi, teacher, and creator of Swagtail — to explore what death, caregiving, loss, and transition can teach us about living more fully.

Kym shares the story of caring for her late husband, Steve, during the final years of his life, and how that experience deepened her relationship with presence, resilience, nervous system regulation, and conscious choice. She also opens up about writing his memoir, Miracle on the Mountainside, and the healing journey that followed as she set out on a year-long golf adventure in his honor, finding structure, spaciousness, and a new relationship with herself along the way.

Together, Tina and Kym explore grief, identity shifts, the healing power of nature, writing as a tool for self-awareness, and the importance of creating a life that reflects what truly matters now, not someday.

This conversation is a beautiful reminder that love and loss are not opposites, that choosing life is an ongoing practice, and that we each have the power to meet change with more grace, curiosity, and intention.
