What if the darkest seasons of your life became the foundation of your greatest clarity? In this soul-deep episode of The Knowing Podcast, host Christene Marie sits down with Sammy Aslam—entrepreneur, former convict, and the heart behind Alyshaan Fine Rugs—to explore identity, emotional safety, love, addiction recovery, and the surprising transformations that happen in solitude. From how prison shaped his inner world to the intimacy and safety he’s found in his marriage, Sammy brings humor, wisdom, and raw truth to the table. You’ll leave this conversation reflecting on what parts of yourself are worth keeping—and which ones it’s finally time to release.
