About this listen
You don't get what you want - you get who you are. And who you are is determined by how you think.
Most of us say we want better health, finances, and relationships. Yet, beneath the surface, we don't think we deserve it. Projecting confidence on the outside, we feel like impostors on the inside. The truth is we'll never outperform our self-image.
Author Kary Oberbrunner knows this firsthand. In this updated and expanded edition of Your Secret Name, he shares the same steps that helped him overcome a paralyzing speech disorder and an addiction to self-injury. For nearly a decade, people have benefitted from this invigorating message - finding freedom from their shame, self-limiting beliefs, and masks that kept them stuck and small.
If you're new to Your Secret Name, prepare for an uncommon quest that begins with an ancient story of envy and concludes with a fresh vision of yourself. You'll discover how to:
- Reinterpret your past, so you can stop hiding behind performance and pain
- Reconnect with your creator, core, and community, so you can live bigger and bolder without fear and self-judgment
- Reimagine a new future, so you can experience life without limits, borders, or boundaries
It's time to stop pretending, shed the labels, and discover your true identity today!

The majority of people invest more time designing a two-week vacation than designing their lives. But without a map, we coast through life feeling lost and directionless. We're already dead - we just haven't made it official. We may be tempted to downplay this trend, but there is a hefty cost. According to Swiss psychologist Carl Jung, "The most damaging thing in the life of a child is the unlived life of the parent."

Story
Whether in struggle, illness, death, or failure, the presence of pain causes us to question the presence of God. We pray and watch the sky, crossing our spiritual fingers for hardcore proof of God's nearness. And in the silence, we sense something more sinister: perceived abandonment. But what if we could collect evidence that God hasn't left us? What if we could be absolutely certain of God's presence and affection, strengthening our faith against any assault? Woven throughout Scripture sits a single, extraordinary theme: God is with us.

From an early age, Alex Seeley was told she was an accident, but she also carried the weight of feeling stupid. Labels like these, sometimes spoken over us by well-meaning people, can cause us to believe lies about ourselves that make us question why we were born and what our purpose on earth could be. Yet, according to Psalm 139, God designed us in his image, with a unique DNA and amazing characteristics! We are loved and created for a purpose that only we can fulfill.

Are you weary? Worn out by the bills that keep stacking, a virus that keeps raging, or a heart that keeps aching? If so, the book of Esther brings welcome news: Relief will come! To be clear, you didn't ask for this struggle. You want to get past it. You don't know how much longer you can hold up. But what if God is with you in this difficult season? When life seems off the rails, remember this truth: the minute you bow your head to pray is the moment God lifts his hand to help.

A radical revelation
“Your Secret Name” was the catalyst for deep, powerful, positive change in my life. Oberbrunner boldly exposes the lies we believe about ourself and guides us on a journey to overcome these untruths. Through stories, life experiences, and practical wisdom you gain clarity, overcome negative thoughts, and discover the truth of who you are. I highly recommend “Your Secret Name.”

Beautiful Narration and Impactful Journey!
This journey showed me that we don’t need others to tell us who we are. Each of us has been given a name and unique purpose to fulfill. I respect the author for sharing his personal story while also encouraging us to explore our own! This is a beautiful narration told with passion from one who sought and found his Name. This book has put me on a path of discovery that I know will change my life and others through me. My wish is that it will do the same for YOU!

Finding identification leads to light!
Kary shares his foundation of how he found his true identity by revealing this personal journey step by step through his carefully paced words. His story is raw, honest and filled with vulnerability. His reading and narration of such a personal journey demands of the reader/listener to reflect and find that identification within which leads them towards light. As the story unfolded, I found myself questioning, wondering, reflecting, and searching for my own secret name. Kary's book can lead you (as it did for me) to take action and create within yourself your own powerful terrifying change. Your secret name will either terrify or comfort you, but either way, it will lead to your identification and towards light.

A Book To Help You Become
A very well written book that guides individuals to lean “their Secret Name” or to become who they were born to be. If you follow the insights herein, you will get a better vision of who you should be. Kary Oberbrunner reading his own book adds even greater emotion as he tells his story and his transformation as he has become an igniter of souls! There is power in the emotion felt from the very person that lived it!

A whole new way of seeing yourself and your life!
Do you know who you are? Whose you are? Kary leads you down the path of discovering your true identity using his own journey as an example. So often, we allow the world to tell us who we are and we allow others to define our worth rather than listening to the One who created us. Your Secret Name will take you on a journey of discovering your true worth and purpose in this life so that you can live each day as a soul on fire. I know my secret name now and it has made all the difference! Don’t waste another minute being defined by others. Discover your secret name and your purpose!

A new way of thinking
I’ve heard the Jacob and Esau story of the Bible many times, but never thought of it in the context the author uses. The story caused me to look inside myself and see where I was hiding. It’s so easy to allow fear and doubt to stop us from achieving our destiny. What name will define me and my future?

Life and Legacy Changing
"By embracing our new identity, we embrace a new destiny."- Kary Oberbrunner
I experienced Your Secret Name when it was originally published in book format. Listening to the audio provided a deeper dive, encouraging reminders, and rich insight.
If you or someone you know is struggling with their identity and worth, Your Secret Name will gently and clearly reveal who they are and whose they are.
