Episode Summary

In this episode, Gloria explores the "Good Vibes" of the week by breaking down the ultimate snack tray. From debating the best fruits to revealing her "Deserted Island" essentials, this conversation highlights how simple treats are often the most effective way to reset. Gloria also shares a vulnerable update on her journey with Rule #1: Quit, detailing how a recent cold forced her to practice "strategic underachievement" to prioritize her health over the "efficiency trap".

Key Takeaways

• The Deserted Island Four: If forced to choose, Gloria’s ultimate snack pillars are Fruit, Nuts, Hot Chips, and Chocolate.
• The Efficiency Trap: We often multitask through our small joys, which robs us of the chance to actually "Sit" (Rule #2) and be present.
• Strategic Recovery: "Quitting" everything while sick is a form of self-care that allows the body to be a "work in progress" without the guilt of not doing more.
• Small Acts of Rebellion: Taking a few minutes to just eat a snack—without a phone or work—is a powerful way to reclaim your time.

This Week’s Advice

• Find one "Simple Joy,” whether it's a snack, a song, or even just a view, and give it your full, undivided attention for 60 seconds. Don’t scroll, don’t work, and don't multitask; just sit and savor it.
