The Relatable Voice Magazine - July 2026

Dear Readers,

Summer is officially here, and the days are long, the temperatures are high, and the sea is already warm. It’s the perfect time to slow down, relax under the shade of a tree or on the sand, and enjoy a good book.

Our cover star this month is Leland Mergillano, a beloved member of The RV Family and, for the second time, our featured guest on the cover. Leland is a multiple award-winning actor and voice-over artist whose memorable voice and incredible talent continue to inspire us. We couldn’t be prouder to have him back with us.

In this issue, we are also delighted to share a beautiful article by Adriana Repede about life in Mallorca, Spain, a place filled with charm, beauty, and inspiration. I hope her words take you there and that you enjoy the journey as much as I did.

I feel very lucky to have interviewed such amazing guests recently on The Relatable Voice Podcast, including Tim Disney, Frank DiMaio, Terri Sterk, Dr. Tony Nader, S.A. Sizemore, and Claire Stadtmueller. Every conversation reminds me why I love what I do and the power stories have to connect us.

And here is some exciting news: The RV Book Fair 2026 is coming this September! You can already explore the authors who will be participating, and if you are a creative, there is still time to join us and celebrate books, stories, and the magic of creativity together.

As always, I invite you to listen to The Relatable Voice Podcast on your favorite platform and dive into the articles, books, interviews, and illustrations featured in this issue.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me.

Wishing you a beautiful summer and safe travels.

Warmly,

Lucia Matuonto

Chief Editor and Creator of “The Relatable Voice” podcast, magazine and Book Fair
