Into Deep

In Episode 23 of Into Deep, Geoff sits down with Nick Slater — actor and full-time content creator best known for his viral relationship skits and attachment-style characters — for a conversation that moves far beyond social media.
Nick shares his journey from growing up in Brisbane to acting from a young age, landing a US network TV show, chasing Hollywood, and ultimately returning home to rebuild his life. From there, the conversation opens into avoidant attachment, modern dating, self-esteem, and why Nick believes love is not just a feeling — but a daily choice.
Nick also speaks candidly about losing his dad to a brain tumour, the impact of being given time to say goodbye, and the moment that reshaped how he views life, health, and spirituality.
Together, Geoff and Nick explore masculinity during conflict, emotional regulation, meditation, visualisation, and the rituals Nick uses to support his mental and physical health — including sauna, ice baths, and intentional movement. They also unpack the darker side of social media, the importance of curating your algorithm, and why presence in real life matters more than ever.
If you’ve been navigating dating apps, relationship triggers, grief, or the pressure to “make it,” this episode offers grounded insight, reflection, and perspective.

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 La Cioppa — 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.

Sophie Handsaker returns to Into Deep for her second appearance after several clips from her first episode went viral. In this conversation, Geoff and Sophie dive directly into the core theme of the episode: how to overcome the fear of judgement.
They read through and discuss the negative comments and criticism Sophie received online, unpacking why judgement affects us so deeply and how it shapes the way we show up in the world. Sophie also opens up about a deeply personal chapter of her life — the years she spent being judged and blamed for her late partner’s suicide — and how she slowly rebuilt her identity, confidence, and sense of self-worth after that experience.
This episode explores the psychology of judgement, the impact of projection, the internalisation of criticism, and the emotional resilience required to live authentically. It is a conversation for anyone who feels held back by what others might think, and who is ready to strengthen their self-trust and step into a more grounded and unapologetic version of themselves.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why judgement and criticism cut so deeply
How early experiences shape our fear of being judged
Sophie's journey through grief, blame, and public scrutiny
How she rebuilt her identity after traumatic loss
Practical tools for overcoming the fear of judgement
How to stop people-pleasing and express your true self
Why authenticity requires discomfort — and why it’s worth it
