WEBVTT - Gia is talking Bravo, boyfriends and new beginnings…

0:00:02.200 --> 0:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the very first episode of Casual Chaos. Hey guys,

0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:09.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm Gia, and most of you might know me from

0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:12.400
<v Speaker 1>The Real Housewives in New Jersey. My mom is an

0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:16.959
<v Speaker 1>og Teresa Judice. But now I am stepping out on

0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:20.160
<v Speaker 1>my own to really give you guys an inside look

0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:24.439
<v Speaker 1>of who I really am beyond the Real Housewives. My

0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>family has been on this show since two thousand and nine,

0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:32.080
<v Speaker 1>but my family has also been through a lot a

0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:35.479
<v Speaker 1>lot of hard times, a lot of dark times, but

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:38.239
<v Speaker 1>there's also been a lot of good times and a

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of good memories that have came from the Real

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Housewives in New Jersey. But beyond that, I've always had

0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:49.240
<v Speaker 1>to be kind of serious on the show. Besides, when

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.440
<v Speaker 1>I was an eight year old running around going to

0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:56.360
<v Speaker 1>my auditions in New York City, I was a kid

0:00:56.480 --> 0:01:00.440
<v Speaker 1>during my young years while being on the show, and

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:03.240
<v Speaker 1>I acted like one. But then that came to a

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:08.199
<v Speaker 1>really big halt when my family went through legal issues

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 1>and we had family drama and there was just a

0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:17.319
<v Speaker 1>really dark cloud over my family for a really long time.

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:22.560
<v Speaker 1>So during that time on the show, I still am

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:25.480
<v Speaker 1>but I have always been my mom's right hand man

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.680
<v Speaker 1>no matter what it's her and I through it all.

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.960
<v Speaker 1>If she has no one, I'm right there with her.

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:34.480
<v Speaker 1>It kind of made me have to have a more

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:39.120
<v Speaker 1>serious attitude on the show and not be my fun,

0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 1>lighthearted honestly, don't give a self. But with all of that,

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 1>I kind of couldn't act like that on the show

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 1>because it was topics involving my family. So I'm so

0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>excited to finally show you guys who I am outside

0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.560
<v Speaker 1>of the Housewives in New Jersey and outside of this

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 1>dark cloud that my family has been under for many years.

0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.520
<v Speaker 1>We're finally out of it now. My dad is living

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:14.600
<v Speaker 1>his best life in the Bahamas, my mom is remarried,

0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:19.519
<v Speaker 1>and my family's doing really good. So now I'm excited

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:23.600
<v Speaker 1>to really let you all get to know me and

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:27.400
<v Speaker 1>see this fun, lighthearted side of me that you really

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't get to see on TV. All Right, and I'm

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 1>sure you guys want me to get way deeper into

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>the real Housewives in New Jersey drama, but that is

0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 1>for a later date and time and another episode. Let's

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 1>get into what has been going on with me behind

0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:49.959
<v Speaker 1>the scenes. So, yeah, I went to college. I am

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 1>coming up on my two year graduation date. That's like sickening.

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:58.200
<v Speaker 1>I can't believe I graduated two years ago. But I

0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:02.639
<v Speaker 1>loved college. I went into college wanting to be a lawyer.

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:08.359
<v Speaker 1>My major was criminal justice, my minor was sociology. I

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 1>have a vivid memory of me and my criminal justice

0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:15.960
<v Speaker 1>class freshman year, so excited and loving every minute of it.

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 1>And I also have a vivid memory of me my

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:22.320
<v Speaker 1>senior year of college taking an employment law class, writing

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 1>briefs and loving every minute of it. I love criminal justice.

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I love the field. I love the topic. That was

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 1>never an issue for me. I was good at the work.

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 1>I got it done, I enjoyed it. I also was

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 1>always so interested in the psychological aspect of it. I

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:48.160
<v Speaker 1>always wanted to know why do criminals commit the crimes

0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:54.760
<v Speaker 1>that they do. So I loved my entire college experience academically.

0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Then I really started picking up social media during COVID,

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 1>I want to say, into my junior and senior year

0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 1>of college, I really started becoming more active on all

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 1>of my pages. Starting to become more active on social

0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 1>media did not deter my love for the law, but

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 1>it did deter my focus to becoming a lawyer. If

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:24.039
<v Speaker 1>my heart was fully set on becoming a lawyer. I

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.560
<v Speaker 1>would have had to give up social media, give up

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.200
<v Speaker 1>everything that I was doing, and honestly give up the

0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 1>money coming in. I'm just being real with you. So

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:39.279
<v Speaker 1>at that point I was like, am I really going

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 1>to stop all of this right now? So a lot

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.719
<v Speaker 1>of you are maybe disappointed in me for not becoming

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 1>a lawyer, but the chapter is not closed. I can

0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:52.599
<v Speaker 1>always pull a kimk and go back to law school,

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.320
<v Speaker 1>do it part time. And I know a lot of

0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:57.920
<v Speaker 1>moms that do that as well. They're in law school

0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:01.960
<v Speaker 1>right now part time, never going to be in my

0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:07.080
<v Speaker 1>twenties again, getting these opportunities, and I really just wanted

0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:11.320
<v Speaker 1>to capitalize on it. That's literally it. It's not me

0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 1>being lazy or not wanting to become a lawyer. And shit,

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:20.560
<v Speaker 1>the l SATs were hard, Like I actually was driving

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:25.239
<v Speaker 1>myself insane. I was studying for a year and a half,

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:29.400
<v Speaker 1>spent over five thousand on tutors, Like I don't want

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 1>you guys to think I didn't try, because I did.

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 1>But social media coming in the way that it did,

0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:37.720
<v Speaker 1>job offers coming in the way that it did, all

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 1>these opportunities coming in the way that they were coming

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:43.479
<v Speaker 1>in and still are coming in. My tutor literally looked

0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:45.840
<v Speaker 1>at me one day and said to me, if you

0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:49.040
<v Speaker 1>are not one hundred percent invested in this and one

0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 1>hundred percent in the game, you couldnot become a lawyer

0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.600
<v Speaker 1>because going to law school studying for your LSATs it's

0:05:56.600 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 1>a full time job. And after college, I had a

0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:06.880
<v Speaker 1>job at Rymax, which is a marketing corporation, and I

0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 1>took time off from Rymax to study for my OLSATS.

0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.080
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time, I was also trying to

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:16.240
<v Speaker 1>juggle social media. It was just all too much. So

0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>that's why I put my law career on holds. And

0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 1>now I'm telling you guys my story and really letting

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:28.920
<v Speaker 1>you guys come into my life through Instagram, TikTok and

0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:33.920
<v Speaker 1>now this amazing podcast, Casual Chaos. So I'm super excited

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 1>for this. So don't be mad at me, guys, for

0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 1>not becoming a lawyer. I still love it. I'll tell

0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 1>you about all the briefs that I wrote in college,

0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:44.599
<v Speaker 1>and I'll really get into that whole thing, because I

0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.720
<v Speaker 1>feel like you guys feel like I kind of gave

0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:52.040
<v Speaker 1>up on that, but I didn't. I just kind of

0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:56.679
<v Speaker 1>took a pause because I still really love the law,

0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 1>and I'm so intrigued on the topic, but that is

0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 1>for a later date and I will get more into

0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:07.560
<v Speaker 1>that and talk all about my college experience with you

0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 1>guys in another podcast. But yeah, that was kind of

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.559
<v Speaker 1>what made me also want to pursue social media full time.

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:21.120
<v Speaker 1>The opportunities were endless, and I know if anybody else

0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 1>got this opportunity, it was either let's make some money

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:29.520
<v Speaker 1>and have a really good time or spend four more

0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.480
<v Speaker 1>years in school and be in debt. It just didn't

0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:38.920
<v Speaker 1>make sense. So this was my path right now. So

0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.680
<v Speaker 1>I hate to break you to you. I'm not engaged

0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:46.200
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not pregnant, but I do have an amazing boyfriend.

0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.480
<v Speaker 1>His name is Christian, and we've been together for six

0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:54.600
<v Speaker 1>years now. We actually met how Cliche at the Jersey

0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Shore and we've been together ever since. So we're the

0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 1>same aida. I'm three months older technically, but Christian and

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:08.160
<v Speaker 1>I have really grown together and I think that's one

0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:12.520
<v Speaker 1>of the most special things about our relationship. But I'm

0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:16.320
<v Speaker 1>super excited to have him on the podcast soon and

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:20.920
<v Speaker 1>really talk about the depths of our relationship and kind

0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 1>of give you our own relationship advice in a way.

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:29.680
<v Speaker 1>He is my second serious relationship and hopefully my last,

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:33.400
<v Speaker 1>and he really is the person that I see forever with.

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.040
<v Speaker 1>So I'm really excited for you guys to get to

0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:42.079
<v Speaker 1>know him. So after college, I moved back home. I

0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.800
<v Speaker 1>don't have an urgency to move out right now. I mean,

0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I have everything I need at home. I know people

0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.480
<v Speaker 1>that stay home until they get married. I make my

0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:52.800
<v Speaker 1>own money, I do my own thing, But I just

0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:56.240
<v Speaker 1>don't see the urgency to move out. The only reason

0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:58.240
<v Speaker 1>why I want to move out is to move in

0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:02.120
<v Speaker 1>with Christian, So when we're both ready, that's going to happen.

0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:07.079
<v Speaker 1>But I get amazing meals cooked by my mom and

0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:10.199
<v Speaker 1>that is and my dog. I love my Bella, my

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:14.439
<v Speaker 1>Bella and just being home with my family. I honestly

0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 1>love it. Christian loves it too. Christian is one of

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.360
<v Speaker 1>four as well, so he has four brothers. He's one

0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:24.160
<v Speaker 1>of four brothers. I'm one of four sisters, so we

0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:29.200
<v Speaker 1>have very similar home dynamics where it's fun being around

0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:34.280
<v Speaker 1>your siblings and your family. So as much as I'm

0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:36.559
<v Speaker 1>living at home, I also do my own thing all

0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:38.800
<v Speaker 1>the time I'm in and out of the city. I'm

0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:43.320
<v Speaker 1>working every day. There's days where I barely see my

0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 1>house and my mom doesn't want me to move out.

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.720
<v Speaker 1>I still help around the house with my sisters. Audriana's

0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:54.200
<v Speaker 1>still home. I don't know. I'm just in no rush.

0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:57.080
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of just whenever Christian and I are ready.

0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:01.400
<v Speaker 1>We talk about it all the time, look at apartments

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 1>and houses all the time. It's not like it's not

0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:08.600
<v Speaker 1>on our radar. But we also don't need to jump

0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:11.720
<v Speaker 1>into it next week, and when the time comes, you

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:13.920

<v Speaker 1>guys and just have fun conversations. I can't wait to

<v Speaker 1>talk about beauty and wellness with you guys. I love

0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:11.640
<v Speaker 1>fashion trends and fashion tips that I've been loving this season.

0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.199
<v Speaker 1>And also, let's talk about wellness. It is so important

0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:18.360
<v Speaker 1>and keeps me so sane every day to do at

0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:23.280
<v Speaker 1>least one workout and incorporate vitamins and just have a

0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:27.440
<v Speaker 1>healthy lifestyle. I really got into working out this year.

0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:31.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm currently on my seventy five soft journey. I'm really busy.

0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:33.880
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't commit to seventy five hard and then I

0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.440
<v Speaker 1>would have just disappointed you all. So seventy five soft,

0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:39.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't disappoint myself. I don't disappoint you guys, and

0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:42.400
<v Speaker 1>we kind of go through the process slow and together.

0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:46.400
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, seventy five soft has been amazing. I am

0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:50.080
<v Speaker 1>also a pilates girlly now, I am so obsessed with

0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.120
<v Speaker 1>the ex Former machine. I think I need to buy

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:56.040
<v Speaker 1>one for my house. But I am obsessed with it.

0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:59.160
<v Speaker 1>It is killer. You want to get a tone body,

0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 1>go to pull with the next Former. I'm so excited

0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:07.199
