I just want everybody to know that if there’s a time in your life where you’re feeling like things haven’t gone the way you thought they would, that you failed in some way that you’ve fallen short, just give it a little time.
Welcome to Midlife Mixtape, The Podcast. I’m Nancy Davis Kho and we’re here to talk about the years between being hip and breaking one.

Welcome to the 100 HUNDREDTH EPISODE of the Midlife Mixtape Podcast! I’m the host and creator of the show, Nancy Davis Kho, and I’m also the author of The Thank-You Project: Cultivating Happiness One Letter of Gratitude at a Time. I’m so glad you’re here with me today to celebrate!
Besides breaking through the triple digits with this episode, there are a couple of other significant milestones I’ve hit in May and June of 2021: 10 years of blogging at midlifemixtape.com. That’s right, back in 2011 I started posting short essays on the blog twice a week. Holy lord! That was a different time. I can’t imagine the stress of having to write two essays every week in 2021. You can still see all that writing if you dive down into the archive at MidlifeMixtape.com, but make sure you bring a flashlight and something to brush the cobwebs aside with.
This spring also marked 4 years of podcasting – the first episode of this show aired in May 2017.
Also as of May 2021,
