Speaker 1: Welcome to the very first episode of Casual Chaos. Hey guys,
Speaker 1: I'm Gia, and most of you might know me from
Speaker 1: The Real Housewives in New Jersey. My mom is an
Speaker 1: og Teresa Judice. But now I am stepping out on
Speaker 1: my own to really give you guys an inside look
Speaker 1: of who I really am beyond the Real Housewives. My
Speaker 1: family has been on this show since two thousand and nine,
Speaker 1: but my family has also been through a lot a
Speaker 1: lot of hard times, a lot of dark times, but
Speaker 1: there's also been a lot of good times and a
Speaker 1: lot of good memories that have came from the Real
Speaker 1: Housewives in New Jersey. But beyond that, I've always had
Speaker 1: to be kind of serious on the show. Besides, when
Speaker 1: I was an eight year old running around going to
Speaker 1: my auditions in New York City, I was a kid
Speaker 1: during my young years while being on the show, and
Speaker 1: I acted like one. But then that came to a
Speaker 1: really big halt when my family went through legal issues
Speaker 1: and we had family drama and there was just a
Speaker 1: really dark cloud over my family for a really long time.
Speaker 1: So during that time on the show, I still am
Speaker 1: but I have always been my mom's right hand man
Speaker 1: no matter what it's her and I through it all.
Speaker 1: If she has no one, I'm right there with her.
Speaker 1: It kind of made me have to have a more
Speaker 1: serious attitude on the show and not be my fun,
Speaker 1: lighthearted honestly, don't give a self. But with all of that,
Speaker 1: I kind of couldn't act like that on the show
Speaker 1: because it was topics involving my family. So I'm so
Speaker 1: excited to finally show you guys who I am outside
Speaker 1: of the Housewives in New Jersey and outside of this
Speaker 1: dark cloud that my family has been under for many years.
Speaker 1: We're finally out of it now. My dad is living
Speaker 1: his best life in the Bahamas, my mom is remarried,
Speaker 1: and my family's doing really good. So now I'm excited
Speaker 1: to really let you all get to know me and
Speaker 1: see this fun, lighthearted side of me that you really
Speaker 1: didn't get to see on TV. All Right, and I'm
Speaker 1: sure you guys want me to get way deeper into
Speaker 1: the real Housewives in New Jersey drama, but that is
Speaker 1: for a later date and time and another episode. Let's
Speaker 1: get into what has been going on with me behind
Speaker 1: the scenes. So, yeah, I went to college. I am
Speaker 1: coming up on my two year graduation date. That's like sickening.
Speaker 1: I can't believe I graduated two years ago. But I
Speaker 1: loved college. I went into college wanting to be a lawyer.
Speaker 1: My major was criminal justice, my minor was sociology. I
Speaker 1: have a vivid memory of me and my criminal justice
Speaker 1: class freshman year, so excited and loving every minute of it.
Speaker 1: And I also have a vivid memory of me my
Speaker 1: senior year of college taking an employment law class, writing
Speaker 1: briefs and loving every minute of it. I love criminal justice.
Speaker 1: I love the field. I love the topic. That was
Speaker 1: never an issue for me. I was good at the work.
Speaker 1: I got it done, I enjoyed it. I also was
Speaker 1: always so interested in the psychological aspect of it. I
Speaker 1: always wanted to know why do criminals commit the crimes
Speaker 1: that they do. So I loved my entire college experience academically.
Speaker 1: Then I really started picking up social media during COVID,
Speaker 1: I want to say, into my junior and senior year
Speaker 1: of college, I really started becoming more active on all
Speaker 1: of my pages. Starting to become more active on social
Speaker 1: media did not deter my love for the law, but
Speaker 1: it did deter my focus to becoming a lawyer. If
Speaker 1: my heart was fully set on becoming a lawyer. I
Speaker 1: would have had to give up social media, give up
Speaker 1: everything that I was doing, and honestly give up the
Speaker 1: money coming in. I'm just being real with you. So
Speaker 1: at that point I was like, am I really going
Speaker 1: to stop all of this right now? So a lot
Speaker 1: of you are maybe disappointed in me for not becoming
Speaker 1: a lawyer, but the chapter is not closed. I can
Speaker 1: always pull a kimk and go back to law school,
Speaker 1: do it part time. And I know a lot of
Speaker 1: moms that do that as well. They're in law school
Speaker 1: right now part time, never going to be in my
Speaker 1: twenties again, getting these opportunities, and I really just wanted
Speaker 1: to capitalize on it. That's literally it. It's not me
Speaker 1: being lazy or not wanting to become a lawyer. And shit,
Speaker 1: the l SATs were hard, Like I actually was driving
Speaker 1: myself insane. I was studying for a year and a half,
Speaker 1: spent over five thousand on tutors, Like I don't want
Speaker 1: you guys to think I didn't try, because I did.
Speaker 1: But social media coming in the way that it did,
Speaker 1: job offers coming in the way that it did, all
Speaker 1: these opportunities coming in the way that they were coming
Speaker 1: in and still are coming in. My tutor literally looked
Speaker 1: at me one day and said to me, if you
Speaker 1: are not one hundred percent invested in this and one
Speaker 1: hundred percent in the game, you couldnot become a lawyer
Speaker 1: because going to law school studying for your LSATs it's
Speaker 1: a full time job. And after college, I had a
Speaker 1: job at Rymax, which is a marketing corporation, and I
Speaker 1: took time off from Rymax to study for my OLSATS.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I was also trying to
Speaker 1: juggle social media. It was just all too much. So
Speaker 1: that's why I put my law career on holds. And
Speaker 1: now I'm telling you guys my story and really letting
Speaker 1: you guys come into my life through Instagram, TikTok and
Speaker 1: now this amazing podcast, Casual Chaos. So I'm super excited
Speaker 1: for this. So don't be mad at me, guys, for
Speaker 1: not becoming a lawyer. I still love it. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you about all the briefs that I wrote in college,
Speaker 1: and I'll really get into that whole thing, because I
Speaker 1: feel like you guys feel like I kind of gave
Speaker 1: up on that, but I didn't. I just kind of
Speaker 1: took a pause because I still really love the law,
Speaker 1: and I'm so intrigued on the topic, but that is
Speaker 1: for a later date and I will get more into
Speaker 1: that and talk all about my college experience with you
Speaker 1: guys in another podcast. But yeah, that was kind of
Speaker 1: what made me also want to pursue social media full time.
Speaker 1: The opportunities were endless, and I know if anybody else
Speaker 1: got this opportunity, it was either let's make some money
Speaker 1: and have a really good time or spend four more
Speaker 1: years in school and be in debt. It just didn't
Speaker 1: make sense. So this was my path right now. So
Speaker 1: I hate to break you to you. I'm not engaged
Speaker 1: and I'm not pregnant, but I do have an amazing boyfriend.
Speaker 1: His name is Christian, and we've been together for six
Speaker 1: years now. We actually met how Cliche at the Jersey
Speaker 1: Shore and we've been together ever since. So we're the
Speaker 1: same aida. I'm three months older technically, but Christian and
Speaker 1: I have really grown together and I think that's one
Speaker 1: of the most special things about our relationship. But I'm
Speaker 1: super excited to have him on the podcast soon and
Speaker 1: really talk about the depths of our relationship and kind
Speaker 1: of give you our own relationship advice in a way.
Speaker 1: He is my second serious relationship and hopefully my last,
Speaker 1: and he really is the person that I see forever with.
Speaker 1: So I'm really excited for you guys to get to
Speaker 1: know him. So after college, I moved back home. I
Speaker 1: don't have an urgency to move out right now. I mean,
Speaker 1: I have everything I need at home. I know people
Speaker 1: that stay home until they get married. I make my
Speaker 1: own money, I do my own thing, But I just
Speaker 1: don't see the urgency to move out. The only reason
Speaker 1: why I want to move out is to move in
Speaker 1: with Christian, So when we're both ready, that's going to happen.
Speaker 1: But I get amazing meals cooked by my mom and
Speaker 1: that is and my dog. I love my Bella, my
Speaker 1: Bella and just being home with my family. I honestly
Speaker 1: love it. Christian loves it too. Christian is one of
Speaker 1: four as well, so he has four brothers. He's one
Speaker 1: of four brothers. I'm one of four sisters, so we
Speaker 1: have very similar home dynamics where it's fun being around
Speaker 1: your siblings and your family. So as much as I'm
Speaker 1: living at home, I also do my own thing all
Speaker 1: the time I'm in and out of the city. I'm
Speaker 1: working every day. There's days where I barely see my
Speaker 1: house and my mom doesn't want me to move out.
Speaker 1: I still help around the house with my sisters. Audriana's
Speaker 1: still home. I don't know. I'm just in no rush.
Speaker 1: It's kind of just whenever Christian and I are ready.
Speaker 1: We talk about it all the time, look at apartments
Speaker 1: and houses all the time. It's not like it's not
Speaker 1: on our radar. But we also don't need to jump
Speaker 1: into it next week, and when the time comes, you
Speaker 1: guys will have a front row seat and be a
Speaker 1: part of the whole journey. So now that I've filled
Speaker 1: you guys in on my life, what's going on, how
Speaker 1: I got here, now I want to tell you guys
Speaker 1: a little bit about this podcast and what I'm going
Speaker 1: to be bringing to the table and why I'm so
Speaker 1: excited for you all to listen and tune in every week.
Speaker 1: So I want to talk about girl talk, pop culture,
Speaker 1: hot takes. I'm excited to get casually chaotic with you
Speaker 1: guys and just have fun conversations. I can't wait to
Speaker 1: talk about beauty and wellness with you guys. I love
Speaker 1: all of my beauty products and doing my hair and makeup.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to share with you guys my favorite
Speaker 1: makeup products. I also love getting dressed up for a
Speaker 1: night out, so I can't wait to go through some
Speaker 1: fashion trends and fashion tips that I've been loving this season.
Speaker 1: And also, let's talk about wellness. It is so important
Speaker 1: and keeps me so sane every day to do at
Speaker 1: least one workout and incorporate vitamins and just have a
Speaker 1: healthy lifestyle. I really got into working out this year.
Speaker 1: I'm currently on my seventy five soft journey. I'm really busy.
Speaker 1: I couldn't commit to seventy five hard and then I
Speaker 1: would have just disappointed you all. So seventy five soft,
Speaker 1: I don't disappoint myself. I don't disappoint you guys, and
Speaker 1: we kind of go through the process slow and together.
Speaker 1: But yeah, seventy five soft has been amazing. I am
Speaker 1: also a pilates girlly now, I am so obsessed with
Speaker 1: the ex Former machine. I think I need to buy
Speaker 1: one for my house. But I am obsessed with it.
