Hey guys, 2 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: I'm Gia, and most of you might know me from 3 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 1: The Real Housewives in New Jersey. My mom is an 4 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,959 Speaker 1: og Teresa Judice. But now I am stepping out on 5 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 1: my own to really give you guys an inside look 6 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 1: of who I really am beyond the Real Housewives. My 7 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: family has been on this show since two thousand and nine, 8 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: but my family has also been through a lot a 9 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 1: lot of hard times, a lot of dark times, but 10 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 1: there's also been a lot of good times and a 11 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: lot of good memories that have came from the Real 12 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: Housewives in New Jersey. But beyond that, I've always had 13 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 1: to be kind of serious on the show. Besides, when 14 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: I was an eight year old running around going to 15 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: my auditions in New York City, I was a kid 16 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: during my young years while being on the show, and 17 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: I acted like one. But then that came to a 18 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:08,199 Speaker 1: really big halt when my family went through legal issues 19 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: and we had family drama and there was just a 20 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: really dark cloud over my family for a really long time. 21 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: So during that time on the show, I still am 22 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: but I have always been my mom's right hand man 23 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 1: no matter what it's her and I through it all. 24 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: If she has no one, I'm right there with her. 25 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: It kind of made me have to have a more 26 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: serious attitude on the show and not be my fun, 27 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: lighthearted honestly, don't give a self. But with all of that, 28 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: I kind of couldn't act like that on the show 29 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: because it was topics involving my family. So I'm so 30 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: excited to finally show you guys who I am outside 31 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: of the Housewives in New Jersey and outside of this 32 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: dark cloud that my family has been under for many years. 33 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: We're finally out of it now. My dad is living 34 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: his best life in the Bahamas, my mom is remarried, 35 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 1: and my family's doing really good. So now I'm excited 36 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: to really let you all get to know me and 37 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: see this fun, lighthearted side of me that you really 38 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: didn't get to see on TV. All Right, and I'm 39 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: sure you guys want me to get way deeper into 40 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: the real Housewives in New Jersey drama, but that is 41 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: for a later date and time and another episode. Let's 42 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: get into what has been going on with me behind 43 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 1: the scenes. So, yeah, I went to college. I am 44 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: coming up on my two year graduation date. That's like sickening. 45 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: I can't believe I graduated two years ago. But I 46 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 1: loved college. I went into college wanting to be a lawyer. 47 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: My major was criminal justice, my minor was sociology. I 48 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: have a vivid memory of me and my criminal justice 49 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: class freshman year, so excited and loving every minute of it. 50 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: And I also have a vivid memory of me my 51 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: senior year of college taking an employment law class, writing 52 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: briefs and loving every minute of it. I love criminal justice. 53 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: I love the field. I love the topic. That was 54 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: never an issue for me. I was good at the work. 55 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: I got it done, I enjoyed it. I also was 56 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: always so interested in the psychological aspect of it. I 57 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: always wanted to know why do criminals commit the crimes 58 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: that they do. So I loved my entire college experience academically. 59 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: Then I really started picking up social media during COVID, 60 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: I want to say, into my junior and senior year 61 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: of college, I really started becoming more active on all 62 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: of my pages. Starting to become more active on social 63 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: media did not deter my love for the law, but 64 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: it did deter my focus to becoming a lawyer. If 65 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 1: my heart was fully set on becoming a lawyer. I 66 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: would have had to give up social media, give up 67 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: everything that I was doing, and honestly give up the 68 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: money coming in. I'm just being real with you. So 69 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: at that point I was like, am I really going 70 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: to stop all of this right now? So a lot 71 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: of you are maybe disappointed in me for not becoming 72 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: a lawyer, but the chapter is not closed. I can 73 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: always pull a kimk and go back to law school, 74 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: do it part time. And I know a lot of 75 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: moms that do that as well. They're in law school 76 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: right now part time, never going to be in my 77 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: twenties again, getting these opportunities, and I really just wanted 78 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: to capitalize on it. That's literally it. It's not me 79 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: being lazy or not wanting to become a lawyer. And shit, 80 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: the l SATs were hard, Like I actually was driving 81 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:25,239 Speaker 1: myself insane. I was studying for a year and a half, 82 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: spent over five thousand on tutors, Like I don't want 83 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: you guys to think I didn't try, because I did. 84 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: But social media coming in the way that it did, 85 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 1: job offers coming in the way that it did, all 86 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: these opportunities coming in the way that they were coming 87 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: in and still are coming in. My tutor literally looked 88 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: at me one day and said to me, if you 89 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: are not one hundred percent invested in this and one 90 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: hundred percent in the game, you couldnot become a lawyer 91 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: because going to law school studying for your LSATs it's 92 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: a full time job. And after college, I had a 93 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: job at Rymax, which is a marketing corporation, and I 94 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: took time off from Rymax to study for my OLSATS. 95 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: But at the same time, I was also trying to 96 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: juggle social media. It was just all too much. So 97 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: that's why I put my law career on holds. And 98 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: now I'm telling you guys my story and really letting 99 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: you guys come into my life through Instagram, TikTok and 100 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: now this amazing podcast, Casual Chaos. So I'm super excited 101 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: for this. So don't be mad at me, guys, for 102 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: not becoming a lawyer. I still love it. I'll tell 103 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: you about all the briefs that I wrote in college, 104 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: and I'll really get into that whole thing, because I 105 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: feel like you guys feel like I kind of gave 106 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: up on that, but I didn't. I just kind of 107 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,679 Speaker 1: took a pause because I still really love the law, 108 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: and I'm so intrigued on the topic, but that is 109 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: for a later date and I will get more into 110 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: that and talk all about my college experience with you 111 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: guys in another podcast. But yeah, that was kind of 112 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,559 Speaker 1: what made me also want to pursue social media full time. 113 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: The opportunities were endless, and I know if anybody else 114 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: got this opportunity, it was either let's make some money 115 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: and have a really good time or spend four more 116 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: years in school and be in debt. It just didn't 117 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: make sense. So this was my path right now. So 118 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: I hate to break you to you. I'm not engaged 119 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: and I'm not pregnant, but I do have an amazing boyfriend. 120 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: His name is Christian, and we've been together for six 121 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: years now. We actually met how Cliche at the Jersey 122 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: Shore and we've been together ever since. So we're the 123 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: same aida. I'm three months older technically, but Christian and 124 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: I have really grown together and I think that's one 125 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: of the most special things about our relationship. But I'm 126 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: super excited to have him on the podcast soon and 127 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: really talk about the depths of our relationship and kind 128 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: of give you our own relationship advice in a way. 129 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: He is my second serious relationship and hopefully my last, 130 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: and he really is the person that I see forever with. 131 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: So I'm really excited for you guys to get to 132 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: know him. So after college, I moved back home. I 133 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: don't have an urgency to move out right now. I mean, 134 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: I have everything I need at home. I know people 135 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: that stay home until they get married. I make my 136 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: own money, I do my own thing, But I just 137 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: don't see the urgency to move out. The only reason 138 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: why I want to move out is to move in 139 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: with Christian, So when we're both ready, that's going to happen. 140 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 1: But I get amazing meals cooked by my mom and 141 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 1: that is and my dog. I love my Bella, my 142 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 1: Bella and just being home with my family. I honestly 143 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: love it. Christian loves it too. Christian is one of 144 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: four as well, so he has four brothers. He's one 145 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: of four brothers. I'm one of four sisters, so we 146 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: have very similar home dynamics where it's fun being around 147 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: your siblings and your family. So as much as I'm 148 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 1: living at home, I also do my own thing all 149 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: the time I'm in and out of the city. I'm 150 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: working every day. There's days where I barely see my 151 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: house and my mom doesn't want me to move out. 152 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: I still help around the house with my sisters. Audriana's 153 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: still home. I don't know. I'm just in no rush. 154 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: It's kind of just whenever Christian and I are ready. 155 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: We talk about it all the time, look at apartments 156 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: and houses all the time. It's not like it's not 157 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: on our radar.
