I Need Blue
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!

Dharasena: When Healing Has to Make Room for Grief
God brought you and me here today for me to release this forgiveness onto you so that we both can heal from this event. ~ Dharasena
Dharasena’s story is one of unimaginable strength, resilience, and the search for justice. After surviving sexual assault and the devastating loss of her brother to murder, she faced disbelief and retaliation when reporting her assault. Despite the trauma, she tirelessly pursued justice for her brother’s murder, only to find herself struggling with PTSD and addiction.
It wasn’t until a moment of divine intervention that Dharasena began her healing journey. In this episode, she shares how forgiveness became the key to moving past anger and fear, allowing her to heal and embrace life once again.
