Breathwork, healing, and the courage to release control.

In Episode 22 of Into Deep, Geoff sits down with Elise Griffin — founder of Soul Breath, breathwork facilitator, and empowerment counsellor — for a deeply honest conversation about anxiety, control, and the body’s innate ability to heal.

Elise opens up about living with anorexia from her early teens into her late 20s, and how restriction became a coping tool — a way to feel in control when her inner world felt chaotic and unsafe. She shares how anxiety and shame isolated her, and the moment things reached crisis point in her 20s when her weight dropped into the low 30kg range.

Together, they explore how yoga became her first pathway back to safety in her body, and how a single breathwork + ice bath workshop changed everything — helping her release stored emotion, reconnect with calm, and ultimately build the community that now gathers every Sunday at DY Beach.

This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in their head, overwhelmed by life, or ready to stop surviving and start living more honestly.

Somatic healing, grief, and learning to trust the wisdom of your body.

In Episode 21 of Into Deep, Geoff sits down with Alanna Lacioppa — somatic coach, yoga teacher, and psychotherapy & counselling student — for a deeply human conversation on loss, presence, and rebuilding purpose after grief.

Alanna shares her experience of growing up as a carer, losing both her sister and mother within 18 months, and the identity collapse that followed. Together, they explore how grief lives in the body, why we suppress instead of process, and how somatic work offers a grounded path back into alignment.

This episode dives into nervous system regulation, intuition vs fear, relationships as mirrors, projection, impermanence, and what it means to love fully when nothing is permanent.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from your body, or stuck in your head — this conversation will meet you where you are.

Samuel Dreyfus is a provisional psychologist, ruthless optimist, and founder of the Unofficial Run Club. In this episode, he and Geoff explore the chaos of your twenties, feeling “behind,” and how the things that look like mistakes often become the foundation for who you are.

Sam shares openly about ADHD, self-doubt, and the belief he carried for years that he was “too dumb” for university. A single high-distinction changed his story — and set him on an eight-year journey to becoming a psychologist.

Together they unpack:

• limiting beliefs and how they form
• the cognitive triangle and CBT
• behavioural activation for depression
• exposure therapy and building confidence through action
• how authenticity created the rapid rise of Sam’s social media
• the magic and community behind Unofficial Run Club

This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt lost, stuck, or like they’re not enough. It’s a reminder that you’re not what you could be yet — and there is no limit to who you can become if you keep going.
