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 1: Episode 1 Jen's story - When Fear Strikes: Inside the Chilling Moments of an Armed Robbery
A voice shattered the jovial atmosphere in a bustling women's clothing store, demanding all our money. My heart sank as I turned to face a black-masked stranger pointing a gun at me. Suddenly, my role as the store manager transformed into that of a protector. As I handed over the cash and cell phones, I couldn't escape the weight of responsibility for the customers' safety. We were ushered into a back room, but little did I know, this traumatic experience was just the beginning...
I dedicate this podcast to survivors of trauma who courageously share their story and to our law enforcement, 911 dispatchers and all first responders who walk into the unknown, only knowing they are there to protect and serve. I am forever grateful.
