“I’m so proud of you [Gia],” Ariana captioned the Story.
The shot showed Gia looking game-ready as she rocked camo gear and a tactical backpack. Special Forces Season 4 also featured Gia’s mom, The Real Housewives of New Jersey‘s Teresa Giudice; The Valley cast member Brittany Cartwright; and The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Eva Marcille.

“My friend sent me a very motivational text today, and I thought I would share it,” Ariana began in a September 25 Instagram Reel. “She said, ‘You’re doing great in life. Love you, miss you.’”
Although it was a thoughtful gesture, Ariana immediately questioned what prompted the message.
“[My friend said], ‘Because I’m crashing out, and I thought you could use the motivation, as well,’ Ariana recalled. “And she was correct.”

The influencer then used the moment to encourage her followers to never give up or get discouraged by the inevitable twists and turns of life.
“You’re doing great… OK? We’re all moving in the right direction,” she said. “And we all want ourselves to be at all these different places that you thought you would be at 23, or however old you are.”
Ariana told viewers that they had two choices: They could “dwell on all the bad things” or “focus on the positive.”
“I don’t know, fake it until you make it and keep moving forward in life,” she continued. “Just [keep] faking it and faking it and faking it until you probably make it and get to where you do want to be. Yeah, I’m having a little crash out. My brain is moving 50 miles a minute.”
How Ariana Biermann is navigating her highs and lows
It’s safe to say that the past few years have been an emotional roller coaster for Ariana. Her highs included moving to New York City with her longtime boyfriend, Hudson McLeroy, and reestablishing her friendship with fellow RHOA daughter Riley Burruss. As for the low points, Ariana has had to navigate her parents’ contentious divorce, revealed shocking details about her family’s financial situation, and seemingly put her fashion brand on ice.
“The plan that you have for your life isn’t always gonna go the way you want it to go,” she said in her Instagram video. “Because plans never go the way you want it to go! But if you keep on focusing and being positive and looking at the great things in your life and the people that you love, and just maybe fake it till you make it… in the foreseeable future, you will have everything come to fruition… So just keep focusing, keep working, be proud of yourself and know that you’re f–king doing great, sweetie.”
