You ever notice how people get real loud about stuff that has nothing to do with them? Like, loud-loud. Because it’s not enough that they don’t want to live that way, you shouldn’t either. The only way their decisions make sense is if yours don’t.

That’s why I love the phrase, “Don’t yuck someone’s yum.” It’s playful, but it’s deep. What it really says is: you don’t have to like it. You don’t have to get it. But you also don’t have to ruin it.

So much of living a confident, grounded life comes from understanding the difference between sharing values and shoving values. When you’re rooted in your own morale your own “why”, you don’t need to convince anyone. You’re not easily shaken, and you’re definitely not easily offended by someone else doing something differently.

That kind of peace? That comes from minding your own business. That’s not shade, it’s spiritual. It’s knowing what’s right for you, your home, your kids. And trusting that someone else doing the opposite doesn’t threaten that. Feel free to have judgements, also feel free to keep it to yourself or a close friend!

Remember, It just, isn’t your yum.

The second you start building your life based on what feels true for you, not what everyone else is doing, not what gets applauded online, not what your cousin’s coworker’s mom swears by.

you start showing up with confidence. You parent different. You love different.

So let people homeschool or public school or worldschool. Let ‘em breastfeed for years or not at all. Let them wake up early af everyday to go to the gym OR to pop that Ozempic out the fridge. Botox and fill it up or don’t lol Let the dad wear the baby and cook dinner. Let the kids play how they play, love what they love, dress how they feel. Because if it’s not your plate, it’s not your portion. And your time is better spent seasoning your own life than spitting on someone else’s.

Raise your babies. Live your life. Mind your business. And don’t yuck somebody else’s yum.

Unless it’s raisins in potato salad, in which case. Call the authorities.
