Now, as she focuses on her career, personal growth, and staying grounded in her family’s support, Gia is stepping into a new and exciting phase of her life with her eyes set on the future. Opening up more than ever, she has launched her podcast, Casual Chaos With Gia Giudice , and joined the cast of Bravo ’s new reality show Next Gen NYC . Whether sharing beauty tips, travel hacks, or life lessons, she’s balancing her growing career with valuable insights for her followers.
Luckily for us, Gia isn’t one to keep her wisdom to herself. From streamlining your daily routine to enhancing mindfulness and making travel easier, Gia is sharing the life hacks that have helped her in this dynamic phase of her journey. E!: How has launching your podcast allowed you to share a more personal side of yourself compared to what viewers have seen on Bravo? GG: This podcast really shows who I am on a deeper level, while still keeping it fun and lighthearted.
A lot of the audience has seen me on Bravo in a more serious tone, with serious energy, and that was because I was dealing with real-life family stuff. As much as the audience saw it as a show, it was my real life. Those were very real and raw emotions that everyone was seeing.
But now, on this podcast, I’m excited for people to see me in a different light and get to know my authentic self. E!: Explain the name of your podcast, Casual Chaos . GG: It’s an outlet—a way for me to express myself and really be me.
My career has been picking up, and I’m constantly on the go, going to events. It’s a very busy schedule. That’s why I fell in love with the name Casual Chaos , because I feel like my life is just casually chaotic.
It’s not chaotic in the sense that it’s something bad, but more like a variety of things happening at once. E!: Amazon Live is another platform that showcases your personality. What do you enjoy about connecting with your audience on this platform? GG: Amazon Live is so great because it’s authentic.
I literally just go into my recent buys and add them into the carousel. Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask + Moisturizer "It is a mask, but it’s really more like an overnight cream. You do your usual skincare, and then you put this on as your final layer.

When I'm on the plane, I put it on. I love multitasking."

E!: What cues does your mom take from your routine? GG: I gave her a lot of the Medicube products.
She’s been using them. She's also such a makeup wipe girl. And I'm like, 'Mom, you have to wash your face after.
The makeup wipe is not doing it." I go, "Bless you for having great skin, but a makeup wipe isn’t enough—we need to cleanse, then do our serums and moisturizers." Caudalie Vinoclean Makeup Removing Cleansing Oil "I double cleanse with two Caudalie cleansers.
