Vanessa Rae – Called to Make Music
03/03/23 • 36 min
In this episode of “The Journey of My Mother’s Son” podcast, I sit down to talk with singer/songwriter, Vanessa Rae.
Vanessa loves writing songs that share her true-life stories with her listeners. Inspired by many artists in the genres of country, gospel, and pop, Vanessa has a unique style all her own. Though Vanessa grew up loving musical theater and singing, it was not until recent years that she was ready to hop on stage and share her voice and songs. Being a native of the California Central Valley, Vanessa has played at several venues and events locally, including opening for Josh Turner earlier this year at the Visalia Fox Theater.
Her first album, recently released on December 9th, 2022 shares some of Vanessa's true-life stories with her listeners. She is happy to be sharing her artistry and heart through her new music. Her album shares a title with the first song on the album titled “I’ll Go First”. The moral of the story in this song is, “We’re all a mess, let’s own it, and be a little easier on each other too.”
Allowing God to be the guide in her music journey, she is excited and ready for whatever her future holds musically. She hopes that in any opportunity she is blessed with that her live audience will leave feeling good after they see her perform, or her listener will feel at ease, and related to in some capacity. Vanessa cannot wait to share more as the cards unfold for her, and she hopes you will come alongside her in this music journey!

Marc & Tammy Hollander – Creating an Experience
In this episode of “The Journey of My Mother’s Son” podcast, I sit down to talk with Marc and Tammy Hollander.
Marc and Tammy are the husband-and-wife crew that run the beautiful Galveston Island KOA in Galveston, Texas. Tammy is the General Manager, and Marc is the Director of Guest Services.
Sandy and I have stayed at the campground on two different occasions now and have already made plans to go back in 2024.
This past January, I did a book signing at the campground, which allowed me to get to know Marc a little bit. I loved their story and I loved their passion to make everyone’s stay at the Galveston Island KOA truly an experience that they’ll never forget.
Marc and Tammy’s story is inspirational. Their initial charity work is what connected them to the KOA brand many years ago. Their desire to want to help and give back landed them in a KOA in Central Florida helping to clean-up from hurricane damage, which eventually led them to being hired by KOA and now running a beautiful location in Galveston.
