The Relatable Voice Magazine - The Relatable Voice Magazine - May 2025 - Issue #33

In this issue

Dear Readers, Welcome to the 33rd issue of The Relatable Voice Magazine! We’re thrilled to feature author Bjorn Leesson on our cover. Nestled on a farm surrounded by peaceful nature and beloved animals, Bjorn opens up about his captivating book series, Rune of Revenge. Join us on a springtime escape to the breathtaking Niagara Falls through the lens of Randi-Lee Bowslaugh. And don’t miss Vivien Schapera’s moving tribute to May, the month of mothers, as she shares reflections in Our Other Mothers. We’re also very excited to welcome Mandy Eve-Barnett as our new regular columnist! In her inspiring new column, Authorship Thoughts, Mandy offers encouraging, down-to-earth writing advice for writers at all stages. This issue also features Dr. Ran Anbar, who shares The Five Keys to Living a Good Life, and Julie Wignall, who reminds us of the wonder found in life’s smallest moments—like fireflies. We also meet Neal Engstrom, who invites us to reflect on his book YOUR LIFEPATH and what it means to live with purpose. As part of our Resilient Women Series, Vicky Oliver and I had the honor of interviewing two remarkable women, Jeannete Meza and Hanani Aden, who generously shared their stories of strength, purpose, and perseverance. To our amazing readers, thank you. Your continued presence and support bring this magazine to life. You are the heart of The Relatable Voice, and we are so grateful to have you on this journey with us. Here’s to the journeys still to come—and to celebrating the strength, love, and spirit of mothers everywhere. Happy Mother’s Day. Warmly, Lucia Matuonto Chief Editor and Creator of “The Relatable Voice” podcast, magazine and Book Fair
