What if the life we’ve been working toward isn’t actually the life we want?

Microdosing Retirement is a podcast for people who are starting to question the traditional script: work hard, climb the ladder, and someday you’ll finally get to enjoy your life in retirement.

But between burnout, hustle culture, rising costs, and a world that seems to get more chaotic by the day, more people are quietly wondering if there might be another way to live.

Host Amanda B. Yappin explores modern life through thoughtful conversations about burnout, work-life balance, mental health, career pivots, and the strange expectations we inherit from productivity culture. After shifting careers from high school Spanish teacher to user experience designer, Amanda knows firsthand how scary and liberating it can be to question the script and choose a different path.

Each episode blends personal stories, human philosophy, and small experiments in intentional living to help listeners rethink their relationship with work, identity, and success.

Think of Microdosing Retirement as tiny doses of rest, curiosity, and feeling alive in a cuckoo bananas world.

Because if we have to be here, we might as well enjoy the ride.

    04: Why am I not healing faster?
    2026/05/11

    In this episode of Microdosing Retirement, Amanda explores the frustration of feeling like healing should be happening faster.

    Through honest reflections on grief, burnout, perfectionism, nervous system exhaustion, and the pressure to cope “the right way,” she shares what it looks like to navigate a difficult season in real time, without pretending to have it all figured out.

    From reality TV and “girl dinners” to therapy, self-soothing, and learning how to ask for help, this episode is a reminder that healing isn’t always aesthetic, productive, or linear.

    This week’s microdose invites listeners to let go of the pressure to heal perfectly, practice a little more self-compassion, and remember that we’re not meant to do this alone.

    03: Life Is an Open-World Video Game
    2026/04/18

    What if life isn’t a straight path you’re supposed to follow… but more like an open-world game you get to explore?

    In this episode, Amanda reflects on how easy it is to fall into the same routines — taking the same routes, going to the same places, and doing the same things over and over again.

    It’s comfortable. It’s familiar. And for a lot of us, it’s also automatic.

    But those patterns can quietly keep us in the same version of our lives.

    This episode is about what happens when you start doing things a little differently.

    Not in a dramatic, “quit your job and move across the world” kind of way — but in small, low-pressure ways.

    Taking a different street. Trying something new. Following curiosity just to see what happens.

    Because it’s wild what can happen when you do something slightly different.

    A reminder that you don’t have to change your whole life — you just have to go a little off path.

    2026/04/04

    Are you too tired to even hit “play” on this episode?

    When even simple tasks start to feel overwhelming, it’s easy to assume something is wrong with you.

    But what if you’re not lazy — you’re just exhausted from trying to keep up with a world that never slows down?

    In this episode, Amanda explores burnout, the pressure to constantly optimize, and why protecting your time, energy, and attention might be the most important thing you can do.
