THE MEANING

THE MEANING

DSYR is a movement before it’s a brand. It began as a feeling, a pull toward deeper and more intentional connection.

DSYR stands for Don’t Say You Relate. 

Not because we don’t relate, but because we do.

The whole thing is about listening.

Actually listening.


We all have struggles.

The more we take each other seriously, let each other finish, and stay present, the less people feel alone.

And when people feel less alone, they make better choices. 


The Four Motivations are fear, desire, duty, and love. 

Mine is desire. To feel seen, and to help other people feel seen too.

Desire is powerful.

It pulls us toward connection, but it can also get in the way of it.

DSYR is where I remind myself to pause.

To let connection breathe instead of trying to control it. 


Connection can’t happen without listening.

Sometimes listening is the loudest thing you can do.
