About

Hi, I’m Ash! 👋🏻

I’m a 15-year digital nomad, and here I write about unpopular ideas for a happier life. ⚡️ Every day I’m raising hell about finding your passion, living abroad, running a creative business, choosing no children, and making the kinds of decisions that feel EFFERVESCENT.

The Middle Finger Project is a best-selling Substack 🏆 read across all 50 states and 127 countries. 🎉

I ALSO wrote a book by the same name called THE MIDDLE FINGER PROJECT (Penguin Random House) all about following your passions unless you’re a serial killer, and I’m the founder of the creative writing education company Meat & Hair, where I make DIY creative writing kits & courses for businesses, which I named before realizing everyone would think I was referring to a crotch.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, craving a new adventure, or just want to be able to take your family to Ireland for the summer, I’m here to convince you to go, go, go—and never look back.

“Ambirge writes with candor and sharp humor…her blunt tone and helpful advice will appeal to anyone looking to shrug off a dreary, conventional career for a life of adventure, passion, and happiness.” —Publishers Weekly
