The Spark Within — Episode 2: The Observer

Walking Into Freedom : The Daily Fire ·

2025/09/30

When life hits hard, it’s easy to get swallowed up in the storm — anger, fear, stress, shame. We think that’s who we are. But what if it isn’t? In this episode, Gareth talks about the shift that comes when you remember: you’re not just the feelings, you’re the one who sees them. The observer. From money stress to late-night spirals, he shares how stepping back into awareness has helped him stop falling so deep into the noise — and how you can too. It’s not about pretending life’s easy. ...

The Spark Within — Episode 1: Remembering the Spark

Walking Into Freedom : The Daily Fire ·

2025/09/29

Life piles on — bills, work, fear, stress — and it makes us forget who we really are. But beneath all of it, there’s something that never left: the spark. In this first episode of The Spark Within, Gareth shares what remembering the spark really means, how it’s shown up in his own life, and why it changes everything when you step into being the observer instead of drowning in the storm. This isn’t about religion or wishful thinking — it’s grounded in reality. From science to soul, the tru...

Selflessly Selfish — Episode 7: Redefining Selfish

Walking Into Freedom : The Daily Fire ·

2025/09/28

We’ve spent the last week digging into what it means to be selflessly selfish — looking after yourself first so you can show up fully for others. This final episode ties it all together with one image we all know: the oxygen mask. It looks selfish to put yours on first, but it’s the only way to make sure the people around you can breathe too. Here, I reflect on everything we’ve covered — neglect, the body, the mind, the soul, balance — and flip the word selfishinto something powerful, lov...

Walking Into Freedom : The Daily Fire ·

2025/09/26

Balance doesn’t mean putting others above yourself until you’re empty. That’s not noble — that’s burnout. And it doesn’t mean ignoring the people who rely on you either. In this episode, I talk about balance through the lens of work and family. Walking away from plastering was the right move for my soul, and bills to pay, stepping back in for now is necessary. The difference is, I’m not chained to it anymore. This is what I call the selflessly selfish balance: putting yourself first so yo...

2025/09/26

Your soul can’t shine if it’s buried under fear of what others might think. In this episode, I talk about what it means to listen to what feels right — in work, relationships, and behaviours — even when it’s scary. Trusting that voice doesn’t mean ignoring people or being reckless. It means being honest with yourself first, then communicating from that truth. Because when you put yourself first in alignment, it isn’t selfish — it’s the only way to show up fully for others. Send us a text ...

Selflessly Selfish — Episode 4: Guarding Your Headspace

Walking Into Freedom : The Daily Fire ·

2025/09/24

Last week I caught myself relying on external fixes — waiting for money to come through, for work to pick up, for life to finally line up. And it hit me: if your peace depends on things outside of you, you’re never going to find peace. Not properly. Guarding your headspace means noticing where your thoughts are going, and pulling them back when they’re all tied to things you can’t control. Because the truth is, if you don’t protect your mind, the world will fill it with noise. In this epi...

2025/09/24

When I look after my body — training, moving, eating with purpose — everything feels lighter. My patience is better, my head’s clearer, my energy is there. But when I let it slip, I feel it quick. Last week was proof. I journaled every day, I walked daily — but I only trained once, ate poorly, and let one bad decision spiral into the rest of the week. And I felt it everywhere: in my mood, my energy, even how I showed up for the people around me. This episode is about why being selflessly ...

Walking Into Freedom : The Daily Fire ·

2025/09/23

Neglect doesn’t always look dramatic. Most of the time, it’s small choices stacking up — skipped sleep, poor food, ignoring rest. But those little slips come with a cost. And the truth? That cost doesn’t just land on you. It shows up in your patience, your energy, your focus — and the people around you end up paying for it too. In this episode, I talk about how neglect spills over into family, work, and relationships, and how flipping it back to self-care changes everything. Because looki...

2025/09/22

We’ve been told our whole lives not to be selfish. But here’s the truth: when you ignore yourself, everyone around you pays the price. In today’s episode, I break down why being selflessly selfish isn’t about greed — it’s about responsibility. If I don’t look after my body, my mind, and my energy, what I give to my family, friends, and community is just scraps. Looking after yourself first doesn’t make you selfish. It makes you stronger, calmer, and more present for the people who need yo...

Episode 24 — Surrender: Finding Strength in Letting Go

Walking Into Freedom : The Daily Fire ·

2025/09/21

Surrender isn’t weakness. It’s not giving up or losing the fight. Surrender is the moment you stop wasting your energy battling what you can’t control — and start putting that energy into what you can. In this episode, I talk about how surrender has shown up in my life — from addiction, to money struggles, to walking away from plastering to step into something new. The turning points didn’t come from fighting harder. They came from letting go. ✨ Surrender is admitting the truth instead of...

Episode 23 — Trust: Letting Go of the Grip

Walking Into Freedom : The Daily Fire ·

2025/09/20

Trust is one of the hardest things to practice. Trusting people. Trusting yourself. Trusting the process. But without trust, everything else becomes heavy — perseverance feels like a grind, patience feels endless, discipline feels like punishment, and resilience feels impossible. In this episode, I share how trust has tested me in recovery, relationships, finances, and even building Walking Into Freedom. Trust isn’t blind faith. It’s not about sitting back and doing nothing. It’s about show...

Resilience isn’t about being bulletproof. It’s not about walking through life untouched. It’s about being knocked down, broken open, and still finding a way to rise. In this episode, I share how resilience showed up in my own life — through addiction, losing my kids, financial struggles, and the daily challenges that test me even now. Resilience isn’t glamorous. It’s messy, it hurts, but it’s what keeps us moving. 💥 Resilience is relapse temptation met with another choice. 💥 Resilience

Discipline isn’t glamorous. It’s not about punishment, and it’s not about perfection. It’s about keeping promises to yourself — even when you don’t feel like it. In this episode, I talk about how discipline has shaped my recovery, my fitness, my finances, and even this podcast. Motivation might get you started, but discipline is what keeps you going when motivation disappears. 💪 Fitness doesn’t change in one workout — discipline builds it. ❤️ Recovery isn’t one good day — it’s daily

Patience is one of the hardest things to practice. We want results now — in fitness, in relationships, in money, in healing. But the truth is, growth takes time. In this episode, I talk about why patience is so uncomfortable, how it’s tested me in recovery, fitness, and even in building Walking Into Freedom. Patience isn’t about standing still — it’s about showing up when there’s nothing to show for it yet. ✨ Patience is going to the gym without seeing instant results. ✨ Patience is rebui...

Perseverance isn’t glamorous. It’s not about the highlight reel, it’s about the grind — the showing up, the slipping, and the choice to stand back up again. In this episode, I talk about what perseverance really means, how it’s shaped my own journey through addiction, debt, rebuilding family, and creating Walking Into Freedom. Perseverance isn’t about never falling — it’s about refusing to stay down. ✨ Perseverance is messy. ✨ Perseverance is showing up again and again. ✨ Perseverance is ...

2025/09/15

Habits shape our lives. The bad ones dig in slowly, offering comfort or distraction until they’re automatic. But the same process can build good ones too — habits that support your body, your mind, and your soul. In this episode, I talk about why habits are so powerful, why the bad ones stick, and how to form healthy ones that last. From training daily, to eating with purpose, to showing up for myself when I slip — it’s all about the small, repeated choices that build who we’re becoming. ...

Change is one of the hardest things to put into action. It’s not just difficult — it’s scary. The what ifs, the fear of failing, the comfort of staying the same… they all keep us stuck. In this episode, I talk about why change feels so terrifying, and how to move through it without being paralysed by the end goal. From getting sober, to walking away from plastering, to building this podcast — change has shaped my life. And it always started small. ✨ Don’t chase change you don’t want. ✨ Br...

Where do you find peace? Peace isn’t out there waiting in perfect circumstances — it’s already within you. It might be buried under stress, noise, or pain, but it never left. Even in the depths of struggle, there are glimmers of it. In this episode, I share how I’ve been struggling with peace myself and how one simple shift in meditation helped me find it again. Instead of wrestling my thoughts into silence, I used one word: peace. And every time I came back to that word, I felt it. ✨ P...

We love to point to one moment in life — “that’s where it all went wrong” or “that’s when everything changed.” But the truth is, it’s never just one thing. Catastrophe doesn’t fall out of the sky. It builds — little choices, ignored warnings, patterns stacking until everything breaks. And blessings don’t just appear either. They grow the same way — through years of lessons, sparks, slips, and steps adding up. In this episode, I share how the darkest chapters of my life — addiction, debt, ...

We spend so much time talking about struggles, storms, and pain — but what about when things go right? Because that can be just as scary. When doors start opening, when life begins to line up, when you finally feel like you’re waking up to yourself… sometimes the hardest part is believing you deserve it, or letting yourself enjoy it. In this episode, I share how my own awakening was both powerful and terrifying, and how I learned that gratitude is what keeps you grounded when the good arr...
