I hope you enjoyed last week's recipe of 'Giant Decorated Chocolate Chip Cookies'' brought to you by Rhonda Phillips and her adorable 13 year old granddaughter, Miss Cady.  If you missed that, or the pilot episode, then I invite you to give it a listen, and if you are interested in making any of the recipes shared in 'The Voice Kitchen', know that they live in each episode's show notes and will eventually be on their own website. Joining me in the kitchen today is a woman who is no stranger to the podcasting and VO space.  Jen Keefe is a voiceover talent specializing in e-learning, explainer videos, and corporate narrations.   As a content creator, Jen is the producer and host of the podcast 'Real Women's Work',  a podcast all about how women work.  From stay-at-home moms to entrepreneurs, and execs at fortune 500 companies, if a woman is doing it, it's featured on Real Women's Work.
