The Relatable Voice Magazine - March 2026

Dear Readers,

After a winter marked by extreme weather and long, heavy days, March arrives like a gentle promise. Spring reminds us that renewal is always possible. The flowers begin to bloom, the temperatures soften, and little by little we put away our heavy coats and step back into the light. There is something symbolic about this seasonal shift — a quiet invitation to begin again.

This month, we have much to celebrate at The Relatable Voice Magazine. We are marking Season 10 of The Relatable Voice Podcast and an incredible milestone of 540 interviews. What started as a simple idea has grown into a vibrant global community of storytellers, thinkers, and creatives. We are also proud to continue Season 2 of the Resilient Women Series, highlighting powerful voices and inspiring journeys.

Our March cover star is the remarkable Vivien Schapera — author, Alexander Teacher, founder of Crystal Surgery, and a professional with an academic background in Clinical Psychology. Vivien has been part of The RV community since the very beginning. As a columnist and one of our greatest supporters, she embodies the spirit of dedication, curiosity, and generosity that defines our platform.

This issue also takes us on a delightful journey to Sydney with Ellen Frazer-Jameson aboard the Queen Mary 2 — a trip filled with elegance and adventure. We welcome new authors to our pages, including an engaging discussion on Are You a Planner or a Pantser? and Holly B. Gutwillinger’s thoughtful piece, Enough Is the New Perfect. Our valued columnists — Verlin Darrow, Gary Smith, and Mandy Eve-Barrett — continue to offer practical wisdom on writing and selling in today’s ever-evolving literary landscape.

As we embrace this new season, I hope March brings peace to each of us. May we find ways to be more understanding, more patient, and kinder with one another.

With gratitude,

Lucia Matuonto
