The Power of the Truth
We all tell stories to others and to ourselves. But what happens when we finally face the truth?
The Power of the Truth is a podcast that explores the moments that shape us, the lies we tell, the truths we avoid, and the life-changing impact of honesty. Hosted by Fran Willoughby, each episode features real, open conversations with people from all walks of life, sharing the times when telling the truth (or not) changed everything.
From personal revelations to powerful turning points, this podcast dives into what it really means to live in alignment with who you are and what becomes possible when you do.
Because telling the truth isn’t always easy… but it is always powerful.

Maike works as a yoga teacher but she is first and foremost a mother of three. I volunteer for SOBS (Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide), heading up their Reigate Support Group.
After working for ten years as an actress in television, theatre and radio, she trained and worked as a Relate couples and young people counsellor. Going on to work as an advocate for Witness Against Abuse by Health and Social Care Workers.
Having benefited greatly from practicing yoga personally, she went on to train as a teacher and has been teaching since and running workshops.
Her personal highlight has been finally having the courage to tell her own story; living with a father with undiagnosed mental health issues who went on to take his own life. My book, The Confession: A Journey to Acceptance was published by Mirror Books in 2023.
