Kym Coco: Finding Hope One Golf Shot at a Time

How do you find joy again when the life you knew changes forever? For Kym Coco, golf became a way to explore new possibilities after losing her husband, Stephen “Steve” Thompson. In this episode of Conversations with Rich Bennett, author, performance coach, and yoga teacher Kym shares the story behind her ongoing 100-course golf adventure. Traveling in a Sprinter van, she discovered opportunities for connection, presence, and personal growth while learning to navigate grief on her own terms. Kym also discusses Miracle on the Mountainside, her book about Steve’s extraordinary life, and The Flexible Golfer, which brings yoga-based tools to the golf course. In this conversation, you’ll hear: - Why returning to something you love can take time after loss. - How golf offered Kym structure, play, and new friendships. - What yoga and meditation meant during caregiving and grief. - Why setbacks sometimes call for a different timeline. - How community can remind us of our strengths when we forget them. You don’t have to be a golfer to connect with this honest conversation about love, resilience, and finding the courage to take your next step.
