Into Deep

Elise Griffin – Letting Go of Control & The Power of the Breath – EP22

Geoff Goddard

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.
