Hello. Hello and welcome back. I am so enthused for today where we're going to be diving into the powerful world of the gene keys. And this is one of my favorite worlds to explore and explore how this transformative system can help you unlock your life's purpose and frankly, just lead the most juicy, fulfilling, joyful, beautiful life that's truly aligned with your authentic self. So two of the most common questions I receive are what exactly are the gene keys, Lex? And the other one is how do I apply them in a practical way? So whether you're someone who's never heard of the gene keys before, or you're someone who's been, has heard of it, has maybe even explored your profile, has maybe even had the book like this is going to be a space that I hope is deeply impactful for you. So today I'm going to be answering both of those first questions by introducing an overview of the gene keys as well as going into the first of the eleven gene key spheres. My favorite one to really kick us off. And honestly, I think one of the most powerful gene keys I've explored on my journey, the life's work Gene Key. And over the coming episodes, I'll be breaking down each of the eleven spheres, sharing insights into how you can integrate this system and your particular profile into your life to elevate your purpose, your leadership and of course your fulfillment. So as a certified gene keys guide, so I've gone through the process, I've used both the system and I'll share a little bit more in just a bit about my own story of how I even came across this system, but someone who I'm also now someone who has actually been certified and I'm a certified gene keys guide. And through that process of not only experimenting it with myself first and foremost, then going through the journey of deepening into the craft of deep contemplation of them and now being someone who now for the past years has actually worked with high achieving, high performing leaders across the world, helping them apply these insights and practical way. So something I'm very big on is how do we take this super powerful system and make it practical for you so you can actually experience powerful breakthroughs in your work, in your relationships and of course on your growth journey. So I'm really excited to share this transformational tool with you. As someone who honestly is such a big seeker in life and is always someone curious about how do we just show up as our truest, most aligned, elevated selves, I feel like I have tested out all the things from astrology, Enneagram, Myers Briggs, strength finders. Like I'm always down. And this one in particular is the one that I have purposefully double, triple, quadrupled down on. Because out of everything I've ever experimented with and played with, this one has impacted me the most. So before we dive in, I would love to recommend that if you have access to a computer or your phone, that it would be helpful if you actually head to genekeys.com to download your free gene keys profile. Or I if you have one, if you already have done this before, to just pull up your profile, you can also listen to this episode and then look at the visuals later. But if you have access, I would highly recommend, if you really want to, like, have the visual with the audio working in coherence, that that would be super impactful and. Okay, so with that now in mind, I want to start off by giving you an overview. So again, I feel like so many people have explained the gene keys in various ways, and I'm going to share with you my translation through this episode. So for me, the way I see the Gene keys is the gene keys is a synthesis of ancient wisdom and modern science. And for me, I see it as a personalized roadmap designed to help you show up in the world as your most elevated self. So what I love is that this system uncovers your unique gifts. It gives a lot of insights into your challenges, or what they call your shadows. And it gives a lot of clarity on the purpose you're meant to experience and navigate and show up for in this lifetime. So while it may initially seem complex, I am here. My deepest intention is to make it simple and actionable for you. That is one of my deepest intentions in sharing and bringing the gene keys forward. So again, if. Even if you've been someone who has heard of the gene keys explored in various ways, I really hope that all of the episodes, everything I share, and I've been told many times through people who have worked with me on the gene keys that it's the first time they feel like, oh my gosh, I really see. I get it. And I see how it actually plays out in my day to day life from a practical level. So I'm also just going to call out for anyone who maybe is a skeptic, like, totally get it, and honor that part of you. I just would love to like. Basically why I think it's silly to not explore your gene keys is I feel like not knowing your gene keys would be like, ignoring a personalized success formula that's, like, literally written in your DNA. I think of it as like, it's as if the universe gave you a manual to consistently shift from reactive, limiting patterns, external circumstances. You know, the drama life presents into a state, a place of flow, innovation and influence. So this roadmap can truly help you unlock your highest potential and live the life you truly desire. And I have seen it over and over and over again. So how in the world did the gene keys even come into my life? So I first discovered the gene keys over eight years ago. I actually looked back in my emails to actually find the exact time period. It was in May of 2016 when a dear friend at the time actually shared them with me. I was in a very transitional time in my life. It was when I was living in Bali. I was really at a big moment of kind of this intersection of questioning where I had been successful. And if you again have not or have listened to my story episode, the very first episode, I share more of my journey there. But I was really in a period where I had received so much of the conditioned success, like so much of what I had been told I should want. Yet in truth, I felt this deep sense of emptiness and numbness at the time and desire to actually feel connected, to feel joyful, to feel like I actually had a sense of purpose that was outside of just proving, getting validation, and, you know, feeling like I was there to just be important for everyone else's needs, you know? And so the friend at the time knew I was super into. I'm such a curious person, so they knew I was into all things. Personal development, personal growth, self awareness, all of that. So he shared them with me. And honestly, to this day, I will never forget the experience of first reading, like, looking at my profile. And as you'll see when you download your free profile, you have access to getting a little bit of. A little blurb about your first four gene keys, your first four spheres of your gene keys. And when I read those blurbs, it felt like. What I remember is, it felt like such a deep moment of remembrance and feeling so seen and not seen in a way that I felt like I remember a little bit at the time. I felt a little like, whoa. Because I felt a little out of alignment in some ways. Like, I felt kind of a mixture of feelings. I felt one like I was being given a moment to really see myself and to truly own who I am. And at the same time, I felt a lot of, like, whoa. Like moments and parts of myself that were going well. I'm not entirely living aligned with this, or I could really relate to some of my shadows in some of the sections. And so. And at the same time, I kid you nothing, it gave me language that I then couldn't unsee. And if you've been in my world before, or you're fresh my world, something you'll hear me say a lot is for me, I'm very big on the power of specific languaging. I find communication is so powerful and I find that some of the greatest moments are when you're shown such a deep truth. And let's be real, when those moments happen, you can't unsee what you've been shown. And sometimes it's not easy to see the truth or see the codes of who we're here to be. And at the same time, it's one of the biggest liberation moments long term, I feel like you can ever experience in your life. And so basically, the moment I got the gene keys, like I said, I had such a mixture of emotions, just this full feeling, and it gave me such a clarity point on my next step. So I remember I read my profile and basically shortly after, I think it was a month after I actually hosted my first ever women's empowerment gathering, because the gene keys literally helped me see what I was there. Like, what I'm here to do. And we're going to go into your life's work sphere in a moment. And that particular key code gave me so much insight into what I was actually here to be doing. If I was stripped of what I'd always thought I should do, it really gave me a massive permission slip to be like, oh my gosh, right? Like, this is actually who I'm here to be. And I know this in my heart of hearts that this is who I'm here to be. So, kid you not, from the moment I got my first gen key report a month later, I made a big step, took a bold move and created my first ever women's empowerment evening. And that was the seed that has literally created everything you see in my world now, my entrepreneurial journey, the work I do with this podcast. Like that was that first big bold move and it was all thanks to the gene Keys. And that has continued. The gene Keys, over the years, has continued to give me language, give me language in really releasing shadows I had in love, which helped me really open my heart up to then meeting my husband. It helped me massively in terms of my wealth, energetics, a lot of where I. I have held back from really opening up my capacity to receive wealth, especially in business, on my entrepreneurial journey, it's been massive on so many levels. And as I go through episode after episode about the gene Keys, you'll see like, each of these spheres are super powerful in so many ways. And what I've really seen is by applying the gene keys in my own life, I've just found a much more pleasurable and satisfying way of working. I found a much more aligned and joyful meaning of success. Like, success to me, is so different now and so much more true to who I am. And it really gave me a fresh perspective on living authentically. And like I said, it's the best tool. I've experimented with all of them and this is the one I will live and breathe because of the deep impact I've seen. And I wanted to give a bit of an overview of your profile. So just like a general scope of what you'll see on your gene keys profile. So after you download, you get your free gene keys profile. You'll see there's a lot on the page and you'll see your blur. And what I just feel is important for now as an overview, is basically, like I said, like think of the gene keys as a personal blueprint for your potential. There are 64 different keys that represent the full range of human experiences, from the challenges we face to the break, like, through the wow, to the breakthroughs that I find drive success. And then I've seen over and over again that each gene key reveals something about your unique talents and growth opportunities. So something I want to name is like, you could have the same gene key as someone else, but just depending on where it's placed in your chart, it has a completely different lens. And so it's actually so unique, you could even have the same gene key and the same placement as someone else. And what you'll see is like, just literally because of the specific algorithm of codes you have, it plays out in different ways. So it's truly something that gives you such a unique way to relate, in truth, to yourself. And then within your profile, we all have eleven spheres. So your unique gene keys profile maps out eleven spheres. You'll see there's eleven circles, spheres on your profile. And basically each sphere represents a key area of your life. So that particular sphere influences a specific aspect of your life, your leadership, your wealth, your fulfillment. Then each sphere in your chart is, you'll see, linked to a specific gene key, providing insight into how you can basically move beyond the limiting patterns, which you'll see is what's called the shadow, to activate your greatest strength, which is your gift, and then to your highest frequency, which is the city. I want to give a little context on how I see the shadow gift in city. So, if you look at your sphere, you'll then see that there's three words on like three words next to the sphere. One is the shadow. Then it's the gift. The shadow is on the bottom, it's the third one, then it goes gift, and then it goes city. So imagine it goes from low to high. And so the shadow, to me, is an invitation to explore the limiting beliefs or habits that hold you back in that area of your life. Then I like to think of your gift as your power zone, where you're in flow and you're truly unlocking your natural talents. Like, that's just when you are in full flow mode. And then the city, which is the top word is this is you at mastery level. This is the natural essence when you are completely just embodying your highest potential and leadership. And what you'll notice is, as I go through each sphere, over time, each one will have like, a specific lens. You're meant to see that particular gene key through in your life. And then, like, what's so beautiful, too, is each sphere is not on its own. It's all part of this eleven sphere makeup. And so each sphere has this different nuance and way for you to honor the multifaceted diamond that you are. And so today, in particular, I'm going to focus on sharing with you the very first gene key in the sequence, which is your life's work sphere. But I kind of want to just give a little bit of a taste just so you can understand, like, the specificity of each of these spheres. So, those first four spheres you'll see in your profile, if you download it and you'll see it gives you a little blurb for the first four, just for quick context, right? Like, so your life's work overarchingly helps you understand the impact you're here to make, what you're here to be known for, what you're here to do, more so out in the world. Then the second gene key, it goes over in that free profile, is your evolution. This is your key challenge. You're here to face and overcome. Then it goes into your radiance. This gives a lot of insight into what really supports your well being, what supports you in terms of your vitality, and how you're best going to show up in the world from that perspective. Then the purpose goes into your inner deeper calling. It's what fuels your drive to create, to lead, and to thrive, both personally and professionally in the world. So that's just the overview of. Just so you can already start to see that, like, each specific sphere has a very specific energy to it. And those first gene keys are part of what we call the activation sequence, which is a good indication of your purpose in many ways. The second sequence that goes, that continues when you keep going through the gene keys goes into what's called the venous sequence, which really dives deep into a lot of your relational dynamics. That one is a juicy one on so many levels. And then we end with what's called the Pearl sequence, which gives a lot related to prosthetic, like your key codes to prosperity. I particularly love that sequence, and I use it a lot with clients because it has a lot of indications to your brand, how you're meant to work in team, into leadership, into the core wound in leadership, into what's important for you to cultivate, to really feel prosperous on the journey and whatnot. So there's a lot of depth in the gene keys as you continue to go through the journey. So for today, I want to start by giving you some opportunity to connect with your life's work sphere. So again, this is the very first sphere, top of your profile. You'll see it says life's work sphere. And so the context I want you to really contemplate this gene key of yours through is really think of it as your external purpose, what you're going to be known for. So your life's work sphere reveals your external calling, the role you're meant to play and the contribution you're designed to make in the world. And what I love is when you really deeply connect with it, it's how you're meant to shine. And I believe all of us are a very important puzzle piece in the giant puzzle of humanity. And this one gives a lot of context and a good way for you to reflect on, in what you call your quotes, work. This could be in an actual career as an entrepreneur, this could be in your family. This one gives a lot of indication of when you are in your gift frequency, what you're meant to give in every external role you play out in life. And then what's beautiful is as you go through contemplating your shadow, your gift and your city, you can really start to identify the sabotage dynamics you can play out. And then also where again, you can bring your best self into your external roles and contributions. And then also naturally, when you look at your city, it gives a lot of indication of like, what you will just naturally walk into a room embodying and bringing to any contribution when you're just truly aligned with yourself. So, in the context of your life's work, when you contemplate your shadow, I want you to really look at it from a lens of. When you look at your shadow, can you see it as an invitation, the wording, the expression of it, and see it as an opportunity to contemplate on the sabotage pattern that may be preventing you from fully owning your unique contribution to the world. This could be again, your calling, your labor of love, or even just finding a role in the external world that perfectly suits you. So I wanted to just share, as I go through this, to just land this, I'm going to actually share with you my life's work gene key. And the way it's played out as a way for you, as I share my example, to maybe see this as like, as I share how I've contemplated and reflected on mine, an invitation for you to do the same with your particular gene key. So, as an overview, my life's work gene key, is gene key number 14, which goes from the shadow of compromise to the gift of competence, to the city of bounteousness. So that's the overview now, based on what I just shared about the shadow, right? When I'm really contemplating on compromise being my shadow in my life's work, it really gave me. It's so real for me, guys. Like, literally when I remember first seeing this, like, you just can't make this up. Like, compromise is definitely been a saboteur pattern I am very familiar with. It's something I have played out a lot in my life. And if we even flash back to the version of me that first discovered the gene keys, a lot of what I was stuck in at the time was compromise. So as I started to really contemplate on the shadow of my lifespan gene key, it really got me to get honest about the ways I was compromising being my full self, right? It really got me to get clear on where I was playing small, where I was outsourcing my power. And frankly, a big part was just where I was settling on thinking it was more important to develop other people's ideas and visions versus really owning myself, right? Like, I was really hiding behind other people's dreams that they were building, rather than really owning that I'm here to go and create my own. And so early in my career, I found myself consistently compromising. My desire is to fit into other people's expectations. Like, I definitely got caught in a lot of, like, codependency dynamics. I was really good at following the paths that were laid out for me instead of just really trusting my unique way and trusting that I had personal responsibility and personal inner freedom. And so I would always tend to defer to the visions of others because I didn't feel fully confident in my authority. And it kept me from, frankly, really showing up in my full potential. Then when I started, then when you look at the gift, right? So that's the shadow. So when you really look at your shadow, get really honest. And again, like, what I love is, the more I've gotten honest with my shadow. And this is something I love so much about the way Richard Rudd, the founder of the gene peace, talks about shadow is. He really talks about how, like, you have to walk through the shadow to meet the gift in many ways. So if we strip away these ideas of having shame around our saboteur patterns and instead just see it as, like, a beautiful invitation and a way of knowing all that you are in the beauty of you, of who you are, in the fullness of your human experience. And not to put this part of you, don't reject this part of you. Instead, get really curious and allow it to then be invited to then help you see your gift. So now when you contemplate on your gift in your life's work, really connect with it from this lens of, like, when you step into your gift, you are in your power zone. This is when you'll feel fully aligned with your work and your contribution to the world. This is when you just feel that feeling of, I've got this, I am rocking it, and I am shining in the way that I am meant to shine. So for me, my gift is the gift of competence. And again, if we think about when I moved through that compromise of, like, oh, my gosh, I am playing small. I am hiding my authority. I am pretending I'm not competent. When I really started to connect with my competence gene key, I realized, oh, my gosh, I am here to be someone who walks in a room that is fully valuing what she brings to a table. I am here to be someone that I do my natural state. And my truest gift is I walk in the world with so much enthusiasm because I have full faith that anything that comes my way, I can handle it. And I will learn what I need to learn. I'm not afraid to, like, you know, roll my sleeves up and figure it out, right? On entrepreneurship, there's so much I have not known how to do, and I have just figured it out. And that piece of me, I realize, is such a gift I give others, anyone who walks into my space and such a big part of my magic in my business and what I hold space for, for my clients is when someone is in my space, they know they matter. They step next level into their competency. They really own their body of work. I watched that their. Their way of expressing their authority comes out in a new way. Like, they really own that they have a purpose on this planet, that they matter. And they walk with their shoulders, like, back and their head held high, because I am someone that really holds that vision for them of, you've got this. I have deep self belief in you, and I've watched how much in their reality changes, their income, goals expand, opportunities come to them, because I can really hold that mirror deep self belief which makes so much happen and making people feel really energized about where they focus their energy. And I'm not afraid to be really honest with my clients on whether or not a project and opportunity is truly aligned for them. Like, I am so not afraid to be super direct and go like, that. Looks like a shiny opportunity that doesn't seem aligned with your truest body of work and truest authority, you know? And so the more I've owned and honored my competence, it has made me a much better leader, collaborator, partner. Like, owning my competence in my marriage is so potent because it really has allowed for my husband to lean on me, to trust me, to know that he has a foundation, a backbone in our family that makes him feel held and supported as he does his massive mission and big visions as well, you know? So it's like, can you feel how even when I talk about my gift, right, it brings me into that truest energy of, like, I'm not here to hide. I'm here to own who I am and bring it forward. And that's how you feel when you are fully showing up in your gift. Frequency of your gene key is you feel that sense of just like, full power in your truest sense. And then when you look at your city, which is the third word at the top of your life's work, this is like the highest expression of your life's work. So this is frankly youre essence that you're meant to bring in the external world. And, like, how you're just, like, when you are just in a room, you will just radiate that energy and be a possibility for other people to immediately activate that frequency within themselves. So for me, my city is bounteousness, which to me really represents that energy of plenty, of overflow, right? It represents an energy of being like really generous with your spirit, having a state of limitless giving and receiving. And it's like I feel for me, it's such a big reason why I fully have seen on my journey the importance of me owning the embodiment of abundance. Right? Like, I deeply know in my truth, I operate from a lens of knowing that there's no competition, that it's really about an abundance of opportunities, an abundance of resources, an abundance of clients, an abundance of money and wealth. And that the more all of us just tune into our unique contribution, the more the circulation of abundance moves for us all. So for me, a lot of, as you can see, as I talk about my life's work was me moving from an energy of deep self doubt into this energy of deep trust in myself, in my value, and what I'm here to really bring forward in any room I walk into, which has then really helped me move into this city. Energy of flow and trust that the resources and opportunities will naturally come to me in divine timing. So there's the overview and here's kind of an example as I'm landing it. And just now, as I kind of like sum up why I feel like your life's work matters and the impact it can really have for you is now that you really get to take a moment to like connect with it through your lens. I find that when you really connect with this gene key, you start to gain a lot of clarity around your unique contribution and how you're here to express your gifts in a way that inspires and elevates others. So especially from, if you're an entrepreneur, really think about this from the external brand that you have. You know, whether you're leading a business, a family, a community, it really gives you a lot of indication of your key strengths and the value others will recognize in you. And I love because it's just, to me, it's like a compass that guides you toward the external expression of your leadership and your purpose. Which, who doesn't love that? And something that I'm, well, one, as you can tell, I get super passionate in my sessions to actually deep dive into your life's work sphere. One of the other things that I have actually ended up creating to really help this land is for anyone who does a session with me, anyone who does any of my programs or coaching containers, something that I create is actually a personalized archetype based on your life's work. Genki. And why I love this archetype so much is I feel like I. So I channel it. I really create this unique experience expression for you that you can connect with on a day to day basis. And my clients love it because it really helps them to see how they can embody this gene key in their leadership in a way that feels really expansive and like an invitation to show up as their elevated self. And so, again, as an example for me, the archetype that is the elevated self archetype for my life's work, Gene Key. So for Gene key 14 is what I call the magnetic powerhouse. And so for me, again, this archetype embodies someone who channels their energy into meaningful projects, creating abundance not only by working harder, but by working smarter. And a big part of this archetype is really embodying that energy of flow. And the magnetic powerhouse knows that she has so much energy to give to the world, and it's really a matter of finding what the labor of love is that she's here to channel that will then be this massive ripple effect that she can carry. And so that's when I like the moment when I wake up in the morning. I can really connect to owning that no matter what I do. My biggest gift is if I own this frequency of being the magnetic powerhouse, it really is going to be of highest service for anyone I connect with in a day. And what I love again is the archetypes serve as practical reminders of how you can show up in your everyday life. So when you tap into your personalized archetype, you're no longer just thinking about your gene keys. You're actually being given an invitation to live them. And I find this is how you can align your energy and your actions with your highest potential in a day to day ritual kind of way. And just for kind of context, about a couple other gene keys, just so you can see the variety we have, you know, some of my recent clients. So one of my clients, a gentleman, his archetype, his elevated self archetype is what's called the sacred steward. And so much of his life's work is getting really clear about what traditions, what value systems are important to preserve as sacred and to ensure, get stewarded in this lifetime as we really are in this key period of a modern world that's accelerating and moving so fast. So how do you bridge a lot of the sacred and the ancient with the modern reality? Another client is their archetype is the community weaver. And so such a big part for her is getting clear that no matter what she does in her business journey, she is here to focus on really cultivating a powerful community. The community is essential. And honestly, when I look at such a differentiator, because she came and we did this actually the session before she actually opened her business in the way it is now. And we knew that the community piece was so essential and what she was going to bring out. And her community is so special and there's nothing like it in her industry. So can you see, it's like, as she and as he have been connecting to their archetypes, it's given them a really beautiful foundational way to know who they're here to embody in their elevated expression. And so now that I've given all these goodies, I of course, as you know, love to give a practical invitation. So if you haven't already gone to jeanneties.com and downloaded your free profile, all of this information is in your, in my show notes. So you can use that link. To do so, I would recommend definitely pulling up your profile, connecting to your life's work gene key, which is again, at the very top of your profile. And here's a couple of questions that I'd love to invite you to journal on, to connect with, to reflect on, to really start to contemplate this particular gene key in your life. And one thing I'll name is you can get the Gene keys book. So if you don't already have the gene keys book, I'd recommend having it on audible in printed form. But I will acknowledge it is quite a deep, potent book. So that's where I hope, like over time, as I keep sharing these episodes, that I'll be able to give more and more context to support you. But the book is super magical. And what Richard Rudd has created is it's so deep, it's so soulful, and it's such a transmission in such a beautiful and divine way. And so that's where you can get that main resource. And so here are the three questions. The first question is, how has your shadow shown up in your life and held you back from stepping into your full potential? The second question is, how can you activate your gift in your daily life and work? And lastly, imagine yourself embodying the city. How would that transform the way you lead and show up in your life? So I really want to invite you to contemplate, to let this be something that really activates you and impacts you in a powerful way, as I know it. Will. And if you are someone who would like to experience deeper, more tailored, specific guidance on this, I do offer exclusive gene keys consults where we dive into your unique profile. I will share with you your elevated self archetype, and we create a very personalized plan to help you live in alignment with your gifts and these sessions are frankly designed to provide you with the practical support. Again, not only do I intend on making it simpler for you, because I know, like I said, for many, the book and all these resources are super powerful and I honor the power of feeling seen and supported in experiencing your journey of contemplation. And so I really focus on keeping it simple and practical so you can apply your unique gene keys profile in your life and in your leadership in a meaningful way. And I do only open a few spots a month, so if this resonates, you can book your session via the link in my show notes. And as always, if this episode has sparked curiosity or shifted your perspective, I'd really love to hear about it. Especially because this is the first ever Jean Keys episode and as I named, I'm going to be doing these Gene Keys episodes as a series over time and really wanting to give you support on demystifying each of these eleven spheres in a way that you can implement into your life. And frankly, your ratings and your reviews are really meaningful for me. I don't take them lightly and I deeply read them and some of you make me cry when I read them and I see them as ripples. They help this podcast reach others who are on the same journey of elevation which I am so passionate about, especially at this time. So if this episode inspired you, I'd be so grateful if you would leave a review, share it with a friend. As again, the gene keys are something that's so fun to share and to grow with in community. And yeah, let's create a movement of intentional living together. And don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already, so you never miss an episode. And until next time, keep elevating one intentional day at a time. Lots of love and big heart hugs your way.
