Author Jodi Jeffer’s New Audiobook, “Inside the White Picket Fence: A Memoir,” is an Eye-Opening Account of What Can Occur Within the Home of a Seemingly Perfect Family


New York, NY, February 17, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Jodi Jeffer, who resides in the Midwest with her husband and three children and holds a BS degree in speech pathology and an MS in special education, has completed her new audiobook, “Inside the White Picket Fence: A Memoir”: a profound autobiography that details the trauma faced by the author while growing up in a home that held up a flawless facade to the world despite the troubles within.

“Growing up in the seventies, our family appeared perfect to the residents of our small community,” writes Jeffer. “We were the family others strove to emulate. My mother idolized Jacqueline Kennedy for her poise, beauty, and style. She was determined to have her Camelot on the North Dakota prairie. My father was an unwilling participant in her goal of perfection; the children were props in the setting she was determined to create. We were to look cute, behave, and stay out of her way. The need for perfection in my mother and undiagnosed mental illnesses in my parents infiltrated into all parts of our lives, unrecognized by all those around us and the disastrous consequences that would ensue.

“My four-decade journey, authentic and raw, is written to help chip away the stigma associated with mental illness in order to create the healthy relationships we all crave and need as humans.”

Published by Audiobook Network, author Jodi Jeffer’s new audiobook began as a coping tool for the author following her mother’s diagnosis with terminal illness. Finding comfort in sharing her story, Jeffer aims to help her listeners in breaking cycles of trauma and working towards healthy reciprocal relationships with those around them.

Listeners can purchase the audiobook edition of “Inside the White Picket Fence: A Memoir,” by Jodi Jeffer, through Audible, the Apple iTunes store, or Amazon.

Audiobooks are the fastest growing segment in the digital publishing industry. According to The Infinite Dial 2019, 50% of Americans age 12 and older have listened to an audiobook. This huge growth can be partly attributed to increased listening in cars, which surpassed the home as the #1 audiobook listening location in the 2019 survey. Smart speaker proliferation also bodes well for future listening growth and more mainstream listening.

Fuel Like a Footballer: Eat Smart, Knit Strong

Fuel Like a Footballer: Eat Smart, Knit Strong

At Rupizix Studio in Coventry, we believe creativity needs energy — the same kind footballers rely on. Hand‑knitting demands focus, stamina, and precision, so we look to athlete nutrition for inspiration.

Footballers eat foods that fight fatigue and sharpen concentration — rich in antioxidants, slow‑release carbs, and healthy fats. Inspired by that, we’ve created three simple snack combinations that help makers stay energised through every stitch:

  • Oranges + Cashews — quick vitamin C boost and magnesium for steady energy
  • Oats + Cherries — slow carbs and antioxidants for focus and recovery
  • Plums + Sunflower Seeds — hydration and vitamin E for lasting stamina

These combos aren’t just snacks — they’re creative fuel. Try them while you knit, design, or craft, and feel how your focus lasts longer.

If you’ve tried our combos and felt the boost — and want to discover more energising pairings — let Rupizix Studio help you find your next favourites. Get the “Fuel Like a Footballer” ebook and explore more food combinations that keep your creativity flowing and fatigue away.

Portland, OR, November 27, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– The FAN EXPO Portland celebrity guest list has always featured great variety, and five new additions to the 2026 lineup for the pop culture extravaganza are further proof of that. Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride, Saw), Gates McFadden (Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Picard), Walter Koenig (Star Trek, Babylon 5), Manny Jacinto (The Good Place, Star Wars: The Acolyte) and “Peggy the Dog” (Deadpool & Wolverine) will now attend the event set for January 16-18 at the Oregon Convention Center.

Elwes gained wide acclaim for his portrayal of “Wesley” in the 1987 classic The Princess Bride and reached new audiences by headlining the Mel Brooks spoof Robin Hood: Men in Tights and later Saw.

She is also a stage actress, choreographer, director, teacher, and was the host of more than 300 episodes of the podcast “Gates McFadden InvestiGates: Who Do You Think You Are?”

Koenig is best known for his recurring television portrayals both of the hated, intensely driven “Alfred Bester” (Babylon 5) and the likable, perpetually cheerful “Pavel Chekov” (Star Trek). Koenig’s film work includes the first seven Star Trek feature films, for which he earned two Saturn Award Best Supporting Actor nominations. His many other films have been independent projects with challenging roles.

Jacinto played “Jason Mendoza” on the full four-season run of The Good Place (2016-20) and later appeared as “Lt. Fritz Avalone” in the blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick. Also among his more than 50 TV and film credits are runs on the Hulu series Nine Perfect Strangers and the animated series Hailey’s on It!
