Is this the end of I Need Blue… or a new beginning?

I started I Need Blue to share stories of survival, truth, and resilience. Over time, I saw a deeper need: women carrying experiences, past and present, that still shape their hearts and lives.

So I made a decision: I Need Blue is becoming The Healing in Sharing.

This isn’t an ending. It’s a refining of the mission. Here, women tell their stories honestly, courageously, and without shame. We grow when we share, rebuild when we are seen, and find healing together.

Whether you’ve been with us from the start or are just arriving, welcome. We’re stepping into something more focused, more defined, and more powerful. And we’re just getting started.

We explore the human cost of pressure and war, and the small, repetitive practices that rebuild a nervous system and a life. Mark opens the chapters with rarely told stories of surviving when friends don’t, of masking panic behind success, and of the first awkward steps toward help at a Veteran Center. 

Through Zen meditation, filmmaking, public service, and spiritual communities, he discovers how the body learns steadiness and how the mind is guided. 

If you’re navigating trauma, PTSD, addiction, or the quiet ache of being “high-functioning” yet unwell, this conversation offers grounded tools and proof that change is possible.

BJ, a 24-year firefighter and special operations responder, opens up about the calls that never leave you—the wreckage he’s witnessed, the scenes he grew up around, and the cumulative weight of what first responders carry long after the sirens fade. His story reveals how years of service and personal loss pushed him to rethink what real healing looks like.

This episode explores why mental health is more than mindset—how sleep debt, hormone imbalance, gut health, and chronic stress impact the brain and body—and how faith, paired with biology, became a path forward. 

As CEO of Healing Hometown Heroes, BJ shares practical tools that actually work: post-shift decompression, peer support, honest family conversations, and movement as medicine.

If you serve—or love someone who does—this conversation offers hope you can use today.

"The sickness slowed me down and gave me time alone to get to know myself, reflect on my life, and learn who I was." — Sondee

In this episode, Sondee shares her journey through hyperacusis, misdiagnosis, and the fear of losing independence. A persistent low-frequency hum triggered her nervous system, causing vertigo, migraines, and months of denial, financial stress, and the emotional weight of parenting while unwell. Her pursuit of answers led her beyond symptom labels into functional medicine testing, which uncovered food sensitivities and root causes that transformed her health.

Sondee also opens up about the emotional journey, the cost of staying silent, the courage to ask for help, and the power of rebuilding community. Her story is a guide for anyone seeking honest healing, root-cause solutions, and a path to reclaiming their life.

When a child is abducted by a parent and raised under control and religious manipulation, reclaiming one's voice is the first step toward healing. Dawn McCarty’s ordeal began at age four, when her mother kidnapped her, erased her identity, and subjected her to fear, lies, and weaponized religious teachings. By eight, she was adopted by her stepfather and sealed to her abductor in temple rituals. By 15, she faced grooming disguised as religious trust.

After escaping at 16, Dawn rebuilt her life. Today, she is a senior cybersecurity analyst with over 20 years of experience, dedicated to helping families protect children online. Forty-four years later, she reunited with her biological father, closing one of life’s most powerful chapters. Dawn’s story is a testament to survival, courage, and the unbreakable human spirit.

From a nine-year crack addiction to 28 years of sobriety and service, John’s story shows the power of surrender and redemption. On July 22, 1995, sitting in a jail cell after being arrested for stealing, he prayed: “Lord, if you could just take this desire away… I’ll serve you till I die.” Nearly three decades later, John has kept that promise, living free from drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes, and dedicating his life to serving others. 

What began as court-ordered community service grew into a lifelong mission. Guided by his mentor, Mr. Lundy, John went from serving at a soup kitchen to leading Feed the Lambs Enrichment Program with his wife, Kenya. Together, they provide tutoring, mentoring, camps, meals, and experiences that help children feel seen, cared for, and empowered. John’s story isn’t just about personal change—it’s about creating ripples of hope that impact generations.
