I Never Knew: Finding Identity, Healing, and God's Purpose | Featuring Phyllis Robertson Thomas

What happens when one phone call changes everything you thought you knew about your life?

In this heartfelt episode of the Day One Podcast, I sit down with Phyllis Robertson Thomas—licensed family therapist, author, and daughter of Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson—to discuss her remarkable journey of discovering her biological father later in life and how God redeemed years of pain into a powerful testimony of healing, forgiveness, and purpose.

Together, we explore childhood trauma, identity, forgiveness without forced reconciliation, the role of faith in mental health, and why seeking professional counseling is not a sign of weak faith—but a step toward wholeness. Phyllis also shares the inspiration behind her new book, I Never Knew, and offers practical encouragement for anyone navigating family wounds, disappointment, or unanswered questions.

Whether you're carrying childhood pain, wrestling with forgiveness, or simply searching for hope, this conversation will remind you that God can redeem every chapter of your story.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• How Phyllis discovered Phil Robertson was her biological father
• The healing power of forgiveness and healthy boundaries
• Faith and mental health: why both matter
• Turning trauma into purpose
• Why your story still has the power to change lives
• The Day One Move for anyone pursuing emotional and spiritual healing
