EmotionAL Support with Alessandra Torresani

This week on EmotionAL Support, Alessandra Torresani is joined by the radiant Brooke Ashley Rose Johnson—actress, former Miss Alaska, and unstoppable mental health advocate. From the pressure-filled world of elite athletics and pageantry to the raw reality of navigating anxiety, depression, CPTSD, and ADHD, Brooke shares how she turned her struggles into a powerful mission.

We dive into her incredible journey of resilience, from childhood misdiagnoses to discovering the overlap between ADHD and bipolar disorder. Brooke opens up about breaking down stigmas, embracing her full self, and launching Crowning Confidence, her groundbreaking program for youth that promotes mental health education, self-esteem, and bullying prevention.

With warmth, wisdom, and an unshakable sense of purpose, Brooke reminds us that vulnerability is strength—and that owning our truth is the first step to changing the world.
