❤️🔥 Your reset starts now.
Rulebooks are for followers.
But you’re a Rebel. You build your own.
You’re probs just lacking direction, focus, and belonging. Don’t worry, Rebel. I feel you. That’s why I’m sending you a weekly postcard from the Studio to give you the CreativeFuel boost you need to break the stratosphere.
You’ll relish these notes if your 2025 has been the villain in a Sci Fi narrative you did not consent to participating in.
Because what the actual redacted expletive - too early on a Friday morning for THAT energy.
Your freedom feels heavy. You’re spinning plates, chasing ideas, losing clarity. You crave focus, not formulas. You want to build things that matter alongside people who get it.
Studio Sonder is where the independent find direction again. Where mavericks come to recharge, rebuild, and remember what they’re capable of.
This one’s for you, Rebel 💌
🥂 This Week in The Studio
We’re Focusing On
Making 2026 our best year yet. Building small habits now. Taking messy action towards our goals and saying YES to the opportunities we’ve been avoiding.
We’re Rebelling Against
People who say AI will steal our jobs. Social media algorithms. “I can’t” energy.
We’re Hyping Up
ZOHRAN MAMDANI 🗽
A “what is good about this?” approach to being dealt crappy cards
Putting your own oxygen mask on first, so you can support those you love

Submissions for the first issue of Dualis are now open.
The theme is “Authenticity vs. Performance”. What does it mean to be authentic? How much of our lives do we spend performing? If you or anyone you know has written about this, we want to read it.
We accept fiction and nonfiction of up to 5,000 words in length, and poetry up to two pages. More details are available on our website.
