Meet Amy Bragdon

Amy Bragdon is a storyteller, humanitarian, and heart-led Realtor based in New Brunswick, Canada. Raised in a home rich with love, faith, and fiercely loyal family ties, Amy has lived a life marked by grit, grace, and global adventure.

By day, she serves as a Regional Engagement Advisor for World Vision Canada, partnering with churches and communities to bring hope across the globe. She’s also a top-producing Realtor known not just for closing deals, but for creating homes filled with purpose. Amy is a passionate board member for Habitat for Humanity, and the proud host of Bragdon B&B — a haven of peace for weary travelers.

Her first book, Beauty for Ashes, explored themes of loss, recovery, and renewal. Rising from the Ashes deepens that story — moving through grief and into a life rebuilt with meaning. Through caregiving, burnout, spiritual growth, and travel, Amy’s journey is as much about becoming as it is about survival.

She lives her life by two mantras:

  • “Cease not the day, for within its fleeting hours lie the seeds of tomorrow’s dreams.”
  • “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)

Author’s Note

“Become Anyway is the heartbeat of this book — a reminder that even in the ashes, we can rise. Not untouched. Not perfect. But stronger. Braver. More deeply ourselves.”
