I Need BlueAuthor: Jennifer Lee
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 17
Monday, 24 November, 2025
When truth is stolen, healing begins with reclaiming your story—one memory, one voice, one fearless step at a time.What happens when a child is abducted by a parent and raised in a world of control and religious manipulation? Dawn McCarty’s nightmare began at age four when her mother kidnapped her, erased her identity, and filled her life with fear and lies. Subjected to psychological abuse and weaponized Mormon theology, Dawn was taught to obey blindly and fear her real father. By eight, she was adopted by her stepfather and sealed to her abductor in temple rituals. At 15, she was groomed under the guise of religious trust.After escaping at 16, Dawn rebuilt her life. Now a senior cybersecurity analyst with over 20 years of experience, she helps families protect children online, driven by her own trauma. Her most powerful chapter came 44 years later—reuniting with her biological father. Her story is one of survival, truth, and unbreakable spirit.Connect with Dawn:Learn more about my memoir & advocacy site: Sealed To My AbductorSubscribe to my blog & newsletter: Unsealed Press on SubstackWatch my story (including my reunification with my father): YouTube ChannelLinkedInFacebook: Dawn McCartyFacebook: Sealed To My AbductorConnect with Jen: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ineedbluepodcast/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp1q8SfA_hEXRJ4EaizlW8QFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61567221068683Website: https://ineedblue.net/Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i-need-blue/id1567450935Loved this episode?
