The Real Housewives of New Jersey mom also revealed the go-to advice she shared with her daughter before her next chapter.
Teresa Giudice just dropped off her daughter, Milania Giudice, in Florida to attend the University of Tampa. Though The Real Housewives of New Jersey mom was excited for her third daughter's next chapter, she was also sad to see another child leave the nest.
Milania was also feeling a range of emotions before heading off to school, as Teresa revealed in the August 22 episode of her podcast, Turning the Tables.
"She's nervous," Teresa shared on the episode, which was a collaboration between her show and the All About the Real Housewives podcast. "I'm like, 'Listen, just live your best life [...] work hard, play hard. Don't be nervous. I'm sure everybody's nervous.'"
Teresa added that she advised her daughter to "ask a lot of questions" while navigating her first year away. "If there's something you don't understand just ask questions," the mom of four continued. "I'm all about asking questions, I'm that type of person. If I don't know something, I'm gonna ask the question [to] better myself."
Teresa added: "I feel like out of all my kids, the kid that's the most similar to me is Milania, so I'm just like, 'Milania, ask a lot of questions.' That's what I did growing up — especially growing up with immigrant parents. And Milania [...] we always do things for her, so now [she's] gonna be on her own [and] it's a good thing."
