Ep. 78 | Phyllis Robertson-Thomas, author of "I Never Knew"

To wrap up "Women's Month" here at the podcast, we got future NY Times Best-Selling Author Phyllis Robertson-Thomas as she promotes her new book "I Never Knew." You may remember Phyllis from episode 52, the daughter of legendary duck hunter and man of God, Phil Robertson. If you missed that episode, go back and watch/listen to our most viewed episode where she and her husband Tony shared their incredible story! In this episode, we catch up with Phyllis since a lot has happened since we last talked, including the passing of Phil, graduating from Liberty University, becoming a counselor, moving back to Missouri, an emergency appendectomy and Tony's relentless pursuit of building a thriving art business with the help of one particular black paint viral video! Tune in to hear Phyllis' perspective on how to overcome trauma and renew your mind to move forward through mental struggles and much, much more. It's excellent advice for anyone struggling and wanting healing...including Theo Von who is by his own admission, ready for a new story in his life!
