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!

Yvonne: Honoring Britney’s Legacy, A Life Lived Fearlessly
In this heartfelt episode, Yvonne, founder of the Britney Lee Foundation, opens up about the profound loss of her daughter Britney, who tragically passed in a car accident at just 17.
Britney, a compassionate and wise young woman, inspired those around her with a spirit as bright as a sunflower. Though her sudden death left an irreplaceable void, Yvonne turned her grief into action by founding the Britney Lee Foundation to honor Britney's legacy and spark change. Through initiatives like the Lee’s Lucky Duck Race and partnerships with local nonprofits, Yvonne advocates for safer roads and offers a space for healing and community support.
As Britney’s motto, #LIVEFEARLESSLEE lives on, Yvonne shares her journey of mourning, navigating grief with her husband, and finding strength in Britney’s memory. This episode is a tribute to love, resilience, and the lasting impact of a life lived fearlessly.
