Mimiyuuuh has opened up about being labeled "not relatable anymore" by her viewers as she reflected on how success changed her life.

During her guest appearance on the Ang Walang Kwentang Podcast, hosted by Antoinette Jadaone and JP Habac, the 29-year-old content creator talked about how her lifestyle has changed as she nears her 30s.

"Nung nag-trenta ako, napansin ko talaga 'yung shift of energy. [Kunwari] kapag lasing ako kinagabihan, bukas, wala akong kwentang tao. Para akong podcast niyo, wala akong kwenta," she joked.

"As in, parang [nakahilata lang] ako sa bahay, ang tagal ng recovery and all. And, kunwari, nagkakape ako. Kapag twice a day na, wala na, nagpa-palpitate na ako. Unlike nung early 20s ko, kahit tatlong kape, okay lang yan. So parang ang laki din ng shift kahit sa malilit na bagay," she added.

She also shared how her priorities in life have changed.

"In your 20s, focus ka talaga sa goals mo. Pero when you're turning 30, mas nagfo-focus ka na sa things that matter, which are family, friends, health. Kasi yung pressure and stress in life, na-realize ko siya na parang temporary lang siya. Mawawala rin siya. Pero the things that matter[,] 'yun dapat 'yung mas pinagtutuunan natin ng pansin," she highlighted

Recalling how she started as a content creator, Mimiyuuuh said she began at 23. 

"Seven years na akong [gumagawa ng content]. Minsan nakakapagod na lang din talaga, especially kapag naglalakad kami [tapos may lalapit at magsasabi,] 'Mimimyuuuh, kanta tayo, kanta tayo!' Pero ngayon, 'Totoo ba 'teh, pagod na ako?'" she said.

She then admitted that she wants to forget about her past persona, specifically her viral "Drink Your Water B****h" joke.

"Kung ako lang rin, kalimutan mo na 'yun. Kasi ako, kinalimutan ko na 'yun. Pero nakakatawa rin naman talaga, ang evolution of Mimiyuuuh, in all fairness sa kanya," she said.

But because her brand has evolved through the years, some viewers felt that she has become "less relatable."

Asked about her thoughts on the matter, Mimiyuuuh said, "I feel like may karapatan din naman ako mag-inarte kasi nagtrabaho din naman ako."

"Parang all throughout my career, inuna ko kasi talaga family ko. Last year, feeling ko, 'yun 'yung point na parang, 'Ay, bakit hindi ako mag-spend on myself? Mag-invest sa sarili ko. And the things that I like and I love. Doon nagkaroon ng shift, I guess," she added.

Mimiyuuuh went on to question why she feels she is judged differently from people who were already wealthy.

"Bakit tayong mga Pilipino, kapag may nakita tayong mayaman na tao, kapag nagsha-share siya ng mga pinagbibili niya, naa-amaze tayo na, 'Wow, ang ganda naman nito, nakuha niya 'yung ganyan.' Pero why when it comes to me, na self-made, hard worker, kapag nag-share ako ng mga bagay na nakuha ko or na-experience ko, bakit nagagalit 'yung mga tao?" she said.

"Kapag ang mayaman, nag-economy, grabe 'yung mga tao. 'Wow, ang humble naman niya.' Tapos kapag ako nag-business class, mayabang ako? Bakit ganun? Parang nakikita mo rin talaga 'yung pag-treat ng mga Pilipino sa mga tao," she added.

Mimiyuuuh went on to lament what she described as "crab mentality" by Filipinos, but believed that it is a generational problem.

"Sometimes kasi, hindi natin fault 'yun eh, kung bakit may crab mentality tayo because of colonialism and all. Pero I think, kapag  aware ka na na medyo may ganito kang ugali, magkusa ka na na baguhin mo 'yung perspective mo," she stressed.

"And it's just so inspiring nga eh, na parang may nakikita ka na katulad mo dati, na walang-wala, and now, she's living the life. Kung kaya niya, ay baka kaya ko rin, 'di ba? Dapay ganyan ang perspective nating mga Pilipino," she continued.

Back in 2023, Mimiyuuuh shared that she had bought her first-ever personal car: a white Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara.

"Never in my life may natawag akong akin. I'm super happy po and sobrang excited po ako and overwhelmed po," she gushed. "Ang galing po ng universe na the things that I want come to me because I attract them."

Two years later, the social media star shared that she had acquired her dream beach lot in Zambales, which she noted as one of her childhood dreams.  

Mimiyuuuh is a well-known Filipino vlogger with over 4.48 million subscribers on her YouTube channel. She gained fame in 2019 after starting the "Dalagang Pilipina" video trend.
