Just Brave It

Jul 17

We are proud to spotlight Just Brave It: A Some‑Nonsense Guide for Women Who Want to Live a Brave and Fulfilling Life by Amy Druhot in this month’s Recommended Reading section. Amy’s book is a heartfelt, humorous, and refreshingly real guide to embracing fear, living with purpose, and showing up fully as yourself—even when it’s hard.

Rooted in her own story—from cleaning houses and working in male-dominated industries to becoming a national sales leader and inspiring speaker—Amy offers a blend of personal anecdotes, practical frameworks, and powerful truths. With her “Who + Why + How = Fulfillment” formula, she encourages readers to reflect deeply, act boldly, and live with intention. Each chapter includes thoughtful prompts, making this more than a motivational read. It’s a call to action.

Amy's voice is warm, candid, and unfiltered. She writes with the kind of honesty that evokes both laughter and tears, offering solidarity to anyone who’s ever doubted themselves or hesitated at the edge of something meaningful. It's no surprise that Kirkus Reviews calls the book “witty and heartfelt,” and readers describe it as “encouragement in book form.”

We’re especially excited to share that Amy was recently named the Inaugural Woman of the Year by Shore Consulting’s Women’s Leadership Circle, recognized for her leadership and impact at the 2025 Shore Sales & Marketing Summit in Denver—where HomeAid was proud to participate as a “Partner with a Purpose.”

While Just Brave It is not a book about housing or homelessness, its themes are closely tied to HomeAid’s mission. Amy’s message of bravery, dignity, and rising into your purpose aligns with our belief that every individual and family deserves the opportunity to rebuild their lives with confidence, stability, and support. Whether it’s finding the courage to take a first step, or leading with compassion in the face of challenge, Just Brave It is a timely and empowering read for our staff, volunteers, and supporters.

We highly recommend Just Brave It to anyone looking for an honest, engaging companion on the journey of growth especially those in roles of service, leadership, or transition. It’s a book that meets you where you are and gently dares you to go further.
