b"Jennifer Lopez, (aka Jenny from the block, JLO) visits and shoots a movie in the neighborhood and comments about our little village by asking: \\u201cDoes anyone work?\\u201d when filming the movie \\u201cMonster In-Law\\u201d. She was noticing our way of being in our community. The truth is we all worked but we didn\\u2019t all have traditional \\u201c9-5\\u201d jobs. We also knew how to luxuriate and enjoy every single day and to someone looking in from the outside, it appeared that we just hung and played all day.\\nThe Pearl of wisdom is to enjoy your life for God's sake. Just enjoy. Notice the trifles. There is really no need to rush. Put on your roller blades, roller skates, flip-flops, sit, sit at a coffee shop holding on to a cup of your favorite coffee, play, eat, watch the light change, drink a great delicious drink, ride a bicycle, feel the sand between your toes, feel the sun on your body, take a stroll, do a little dance down the sidewalk\\u2026you get the idea, right?\\n\\xa0\\nThe focus of this week\\u2019s podcast is on the alpha, beta, omega, gamma, sigma\\u2026 definitions of personalities that seem so rigid and outdated according to Fawn and Matt, as they break down the meaning of each stereotype and discuss who and how people really are away from these limited beliefs that society tries to impose.\\nFawn and Matt share their experiences. \\xa0Fawn shares her own limited beliefs about herself and how she realized that her friendship with one of her greatest friends got weird for her at one point, without her friend even realizing it, all because of her (Fawn\\u2019s) own insecurities about herself and her professional qualifications/identities where she felt \\u201cless than\\u201d or subordinate and not the alpha dog she perhaps wanted to be.\\nThe DEFINITIONS: (We DISLIKE most of THESE DEFINITIONS!

They're aggressive, very domineering. They're like the influencer. They're the ones that take charge. They're very bossy and often they're considered uncaring. They're just kind of like a bull. They just go and go for it. They take over.\\nBeta is the supportive person, who is sensitive, modest, easygoing, and reliable. \\xa0They're collaborative. They tend to be more reserved. They're more responsible and they're often seen as insecure.\\nOmega is the type of person that will be seen as neurotic, laid back, eccentric, and least likely to take initiative.

They're, unambitious and unsuccessful in their careers.\\n\\xa0\\nGamma are seen as restless, adventurous, and fun. They like to do their own thing and create their own rules without giving into peer pressure. Alphas may mature into gammas they say, and become more considerate. \\xa0Gammas are more social, socially conscious, and more diplomatic. For Alphas to become better human beings, they would turn into gammas.\\xa0 Gammas generally appear to lack assertiveness. They freely express their emotions and they aren't very interested in status symbols or gaining popularity.\\n\\xa0\\nSigma the definition is they\\u2019re sardonic, cynical, bitter scornful.
