Experience

1. Founder

   The Middle Finger Project

   Oct 2009 — Present · Philadelphia, PA

   The original blog that started it all. One of the longest-standing newsletters (now a book!) on unconventional living & work today, exploring unpopular ideas on how to lead a happier life. Here, I raise hell & write about living abroad, being unmarried, running a creative business, opting out of social media, choosing no children, and making the kinds of decisions that feel EFFERVESCENT. Launched in 2009 and featured in hundreds of outlets for its irreverent voice and message in places like The New Yorker, The New York Times, The BBC, CBS Radio, The Jenny McCarthy Show, Entrepreneur Magazine, Real Simple Magazine, Philadelphia Magazine, and hundreds of podcasts documenting my total inability to remember if it’s “nauseated” or “nauseous.”
