Walking Into Freedom : The Daily Fire

Episode 6 — Seeing the Trap

Gareth Duffey aka Thalen

What if the biggest trap isn’t addiction, money, ego, or comfort — but the lie that you don’t have a choice?


In this episode, I get real about the traps I’ve lived in: addiction that felt like survival, behaviours I thought were just who I was, the grind of plastering, the chase for approval, the masks of ego, even the quiet prison of comfort.


For years, I believed I didn’t have a choice. That was the trap.


But the truth is this: the moment you see the trap, freedom has already begun. You may not step out perfectly every time. You may stumble. But awareness itself is the crack that lets light in.


I’ll guide you through a simple practice to name your own traps and take one small step out.


Because seeing the trap is the first step to freedom. Stepping out is the second.
