Welcome Back - Sharing Stories, Finding Strength, Embracing Healing

The reason I Need Blue was paused.

Welcome back to I Need Blue, the podcast where untold stories come to life, one episode at a time. I’m your host, Jennifer Lee, and I created this space to foster healing through shared narratives, reminding you that you’re never alone in your journey. 

After a transformative move and embracing new roles as an advocate, I’m excited to continue connecting with those who have powerful stories to share. Each upcoming episode will feature inspiring guests who showcase our collective strength and resilience. Join us as we embark on this extraordinary journey together—your story matters, and I can’t wait to hear it!

place to share it.
Welcome to I Need Blue, thepodcast about to take you on an

(00:22):
extraordinary journey whereprofound narratives come to
life, one captivating episode ata time.
I'm your host, Jennifer Lee, andI founded this podcast because I
know there is healing andsharing.

I have not released an episodesince March, and you probably

(01:05):
are all wondering where the heckis Jen?
Where is I Need Blue?
What is going on?
Since the end of last year, wedecided to sell and move, and
during that process, we helpedout a family member.
And then I also decided tostudy.

(01:26):
Pass the test and become amortgage loan officer.
So now under my belt, I'm asurvivor advocate, a safety
advocate, and a homeowneradvocate, and I couldn't be
happier than to be able to helppeople in so many different
ways, and I cannot wait to seethe other ways God has planned

(01:48):
for me to help as well.
It's pretty amazing when yousurrender, but anyway, after all
the move, things gettingsettled, uh, getting used to and
exploring and enjoying a newcommunity, God has been knocking
on my door and he said, Jen,it's time you get back and
continue to create space forothers who need to feel they

(02:11):
belong, are loved, understood,and empowered to share.
I truly believe that part of thereason behind the move is, and I
actually journaled this, it toldme you need to leave Brevard
County.
I was like, Oh, that'sinteresting.
It didn't say I needed a newneighborhood or something like

(02:33):
that.
It was like, no, you need toleave this particular county.
And it's not that there wasanything wrong with it because I
have tons of friends.
It's very close to my heart.
I'm so thankful for everyopportunity that, um, the county
has brought to me, but I thinkit was God's way of saying,
there's another community thatneeds you.

(02:54):
There's another community nowthat needs your message.
And you have a whole slew of newpeople.
Who have been eager to sharetheir story, but just didn't
know how to go about it or whereto go about it.
I truly do believe in my heartthat that is what inspired part
of my story.
The move to all my loyallisteners.

(03:16):
Thank you so much for yoursupport and welcome back to
those of you listening for thefirst time.
I welcome you as well.
You are special.
You are wanted, you are loved,and you matter.
In the upcoming episodes, youwill hear courageous people who

(03:39):
inspire me because of what theyhave been through and where they
are today.
I am looking for individuals whowant to share their story.
I create a very comfortableenvironment where we talk before
you come and share your story.
So I know, um, what you want toshare, what you don't want to

(04:00):
share, because at the end of theday, this truly is all about
you.
I Need Blue is all about you.
Every one of you listeners,every one of you guests, you are
what make I Need Blue possible.
You, please understand, are notan episode to me.
You are a person, and you are afriend, and you are someone that

(04:23):
I will cherish forever.
