Ashley Ambirge grew up living in a trailer with her mother in Pennsylvania. By the time she was 21, she didn’t have a single family member remaining to help her navigate her way through life. Most people would’ve taken the safest path through life just to feel some sense of stability, but that is not the kind of person Ashley is. Through a lot of trial and error when most people her age were still living with their parents, Ashley realized that she was going to have to write her own rules to get through life, and a middle class life that would allow to “finally live in a house with stairs” wasn’t going to get her the financial and creative freedom necessary to thrive in our modern freelancer economy. Thus, The Middle Finger Project blog was born, which became a six-figure income after only a few short years and is now a one-woman internet empire. This week, Ashley has officially become a published author with “The Middle Finger Project”, which is now available wherever books are sold (to get it on Amazon, you can go here now). Join me for a conversation with Ashley, who is here to help us trash our impostor syndrome and live the creative life we deserve on our own terms.
