Gia Giudice, the eldest daughter of "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice, is charting her own path in the entertainment world with her podcast, "Casual Chaos." Launched on March 24, 2025, the 24-year-old is eager to take her show on the road, hoping to emulate the success of fellow Bravo personalities like Stassi Schroeder and the "Giggly Squad" co-hosts, Paige DeSorbo and Hannah Berner.
In a recent interview with PopCulture, Giudice expressed her aspirations, stating, "I would love to go on tour with this podcast. I have put a lot of effort into this podcast, and I hope my fans see that just with the efforts … that I put in to really show that this podcast is going to be amazing. So I hope my audience thinks the same." Her enthusiasm is palpable as she envisions live shows that connect her directly with her listeners.
Giudice, who graduated from Rutgers University in 2023 with a degree in criminal justice, initially planned to attend law school. However, her burgeoning career as an influencer led her to reconsider. "It was either, ‘Let’s make money and have a really good time’ or ‘Spend four more years in school and be in debt,’" she explained during an episode of her podcast. This decision reflects a broader trend among young adults prioritizing immediate career opportunities over traditional educational paths.
Through "Casual Chaos," Giudice aims to showcase a different side of herself, one that contrasts with the serious and tense moments often portrayed on reality television. "A lot of the Bravo audience has seen me grow up in front of their eyes from when I was a little girl until now," she said. "But I really wanted to show my audience more of the fun, light-hearted side of me — not as serious and tense [as] what they see on the show."
In her podcast, Giudice plans to cover a variety of topics including life, health, wellness, and relationships, all while encouraging her audience to relax and enjoy the experience. "I want them to pick up an espresso martini and enjoy my podcast," she said, emphasizing her desire to create a fun and engaging atmosphere for her listeners.
Giudice also credits her mother for guiding her on this journey. Teresa Giudice, who has her own podcasting experience with "Namaste B$tches" and "Turning the Tables," has offered her daughter invaluable advice. "She advised me to stay true to myself on my podcast and ‘be the person [I] want to be inside and out,’" Gia shared. "She gives me advice honestly in every waking moment, so she’s amazing."
While Gia is making strides in her career, she also navigates the complexities of young adulthood, including her relationship with Christian Carmichael. Although she currently lives at home with her mother, sisters, and stepfather, she has expressed a desire to move out with Christian within the next year. "Eventually, within the next year or so, I do think I want to move out, just because I want to experience that time together," she explained on Teresa's podcast. "Just to see how we live together, but, I really do want to move in with him, eventually."
Despite her ambitions, Gia has some reservations about venturing into New York City. In a trailer for the upcoming show "Next Gen NYC," she humorously revealed her fears about crossing state lines. "When you come into the city from Jersey, there is one way in, one way out," she said. "Then you think to yourself, ‘What if the water comes in from the tunnel? You’re f—ked.’" This candid reflection highlights her connection to her New Jersey roots and the challenges of city life.
Gia's journey reflects a blend of ambition and the desire for personal connection, both in her professional and personal life. As she juggles her podcasting career with her relationship and family dynamics, she remains grounded in her upbringing while looking forward to new opportunities.
In March 2024, during an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen," Gia reassured fans that her law career is still in the works. "I’m also riding out my influencer career right now, and really having a lot of fun with that," she said. This decision to pause her legal aspirations in favor of immediate career gratification resonates with many young adults today who are navigating similar choices.
In July 2024, she elaborated on her plans, revealing that she is focusing on her influencer career while simultaneously studying for the LSAT. "So, right now, I'm honestly just taking a pause from law school but it's not out of my cards," she explained during an Amazon Live stream. "Law will always be my passion and I'm honestly just having fun right now with my influencer career and just doing things with you guys. So, I'm really happy, and I am living out this part of my life right now."
As Gia Giudice continues to carve out her niche in the entertainment industry, her podcast "Casual Chaos" serves as a platform for self-expression and connection. With aspirations of touring and a growing fan base, she is poised to make her mark, all while navigating the ups and downs of young adulthood and the complexities of family dynamics. As she embraces this exciting chapter, fans eagerly await what she will share next.
