I turned around to see a masked man pointing a gun at me. It was just the beginning of a series of events, including robbery and abduction, which changed my life forever. I Need Blue, hosted by Jen Lee, is a podcast series featuring lived-experiences from survivors of life events. I NEED BLUE creates space for survivors of trauma to feel they BELONG, are LOVED, UNDERSTOOD and EMPOWERED! I called 9-1-1 and they provided me with life-saving directions to help my customer who was having a medical emergency. Law enforcement rescued us and caught the robber. Our first-responders face unique traumas every day. I NEED BLUE provides space for them too!

episode 6: My Story of Surviving Dating Abuse - Jen Lee / Bonus Episode
As many know, I recently became a published author; Why I Survived by Jennifer Lee.
I share my story of surviving mental, psychological, and emotional abuse. I was drugged and tricked into thinking my life during this 3 years was with someone who loved me. He didn't.
The first time I spoke about this relationship was on the When Dating Hurts podcast. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/when-dating-hurts/id1542478530
I'm sharing the episode with you. It was different "speaking" it versus "writing" it.
The book is a more detailed account of the events written in time sequence.

5.0 out of 5 stars What an inspiring book!
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2023
I could not put this book down. Jen's detailed stories show how easy it is to fall into an abusive relationship. More important, she was strong enough to get out. She is living proof that when life gives you lemons, you can make lemonade. This is a must read for anyone who is currently in an abusive relationship or has been able to leave an abusive relationship.
I look forward to following her podcast - I Need Blue.
Thank you, Jen, for sharing your experiences and giving hope to those in similar situations.
