Episode 1
Sunday, 28 July, 2024
Julia Carrano relinquished her crown on June 23rd, 2024, after one year of reign as Miss New Jersey Teen USA 2023. Parenting Thru Trauma interviewed Julia and her mother, Nancy Carrano, in May as they prepared for Julia's transition. Part two of our two-part interview includes a conversation with Julia's mom, Nancy, talking about their journey to identify and treat Julia's mental health symptoms, medication challenges, and navigating child-serving systems. Our conversation also takes a look at the impact of early childhood trauma and how that may have played a role. Nancy Carrano is a professional photographer in her own right and plays the role of Julia's Manager. More on Julia Carrano at https://missnewjerseyusa.com/teen/ https://www.tiktok.com/@julia.carrano Julia is a high school honors graduate from Manahawkin, NJ. She began attending college to study psychology, hoping to one day obtain her postgraduate degree and become a mental health therapist working with teens. Her battles with mental wellness put her plans on hold. As a survivor of treatment-resistant depression, the current youth mental health crisis is near and dear to Julia’s heart. As Miss New Jersey Teen USA 2023, Julia made breaking the stigma of youth mental health her platform and shared her story with young people throughout New Jersey and elsewhere to help them understand ‘it’s ok not to be ok’ and that kindness counts. She worked alongside peer groups and continues to volunteer as a trained crisis counselor with the National Crisis Text Line.
