Humanitarian and Influencer Wendy Kidder Announces Release of Two New Books: Silent Signals and Sunrise Meditation
Humanitarian and influencer Wendy Kidder releases two transformative books: Silent Signals: A Parent's Journey to Understanding Mental Illness and Sunrise Meditation: Awaken Your Inner Peace.
United States, March 1, 2025 -- A New Chapter: Wendy Kidder's Journey into Writing
Wendy Kidder, known for her work as a humanitarian, celebrity personality, and founder of OTG Yoga, has recently released two impactful books that reflect her deep commitment to mental health awareness and mindfulness. Following the tragic loss of her son, Sebastian, in 2024, Wendy found solace and purpose in penning Silent Signals: A Parent's Journey to Understanding Mental Illness. Her second book, Sunrise Meditation: Awaken Your Inner Peace, invites readers to explore the healing power of meditation and mindfulness practices.
Silent Signals: A Raw, Personal Story of missed warning signs
Silent Signals is Wendy Kidder's deeply personal account of the heartbreak she endured after her son's tragic death by suicide. This book, written as a help guide, takes readers on a journey through the process of identifying the silent signals (warning signs of problems) and provides insight into the complex nature of mental illness. As a mother, Wendy shares her own pain, struggles, and ultimate growth through writing in an effort to provide understanding, hope, and connection to other parents and families going through similar experiences.
'I wrote Silent Signals because there is so much research into behavior patterns that we all should be more educated about so we don't miss the opportunity to help someone struggling with their mental health . The stigma around mental health and suicide has made it hard to find helpful information. Parents and families often feel alone, unable to truly understand what their loved ones are going through. This book is my attempt to offer a voice to that silence,' Wendy explained.
Published by Barnes & Noble, Silent Signals serves as a compassionate guide for those who need it most, offering comfort, clarity, and validation in the face of unimaginable circumstances.
Sunrise Meditation: Healing through Mindfulness
While Silent Signals tackles the difficult subject of Mental Health , Wendy's second book, Sunrise Meditation: Awaken Your Inner Peace, offers a path to healing. Drawing from her extensive background in Yin Yoga, Breathwork, and Meditation, Wendy has crafted a practical and accessible guide to mindfulness practices that can support healing on a personal level. Whether dealing with emotional pain, stress, or the challenges of daily life, Sunrise Meditation encourages readers to take a step back and create peace from within.
'Mindfulness is a powerful tool to help us navigate the world around us. In Sunrise Meditation, I offer simple practices that can bring moments of peace and grounding, even during the most turbulent times. It's about finding calm amidst chaos,' Wendy shared.
The OTG Yoga Mission: Holistic Healing for the World
In addition to her writing, Wendy Kidder has built OTG Yoga, a platform dedicated to helping people improve their lives through holistic practices. OTG Yoga, or On the Go Yoga, has become a hub for mindfulness practices such as Yoga, Breathwork, and Meditation. Through her online platforms, Wendy offers virtual sessions, workshops, and tools to help others find balance in their lives, wherever they are.
Her humanitarian work, which includes traveling the world and offering holistic healing techniques, continues to be a driving force in her life's mission. Wendy's unique ability to combine her entertainment industry background with her passion for wellness sets her apart from others in the space.
Honoring a Legacy of Compassion and Support
Throughout her career, Wendy has become known for her dual impact in the humanitarian and entertainment sectors. Her books and holistic practices reflect this unique blend of influence, and she continues to serve as an advocate for mental health awareness. As she shares her personal experiences with the world, Wendy hopes to inspire others to take action in their own lives, whether that means practicing mindfulness or simply reaching out for support when needed.
Her previous works, as well as her books, can be found on her website, www.onthegoyoga.com, and through online retailers like Barnes & Noble.

Canadian wildfire smoke causing haze in county
Ashtabula County skies have seen hazy conditions, as smoke from the ongoing Canadian wildfires has blown across the midwest. Ashtabula County Health Department Director of Environmental Health Randall Barnes said the pollution is moderately bad right now. 'Thankfully, it's not really bad here right now,' he said. Barnes said the smoke had mainly caused increases in particle air pollution. Barnes recommended seniors, children, people with asthma, or lung and heart conditions, and other people particularly sensitive to particle pollution limit their time outside, he said. 'Consider taking it a little bit easier,' he said. N-95 masks would also be helpful when going outside, filtering out particle pollution, Barnes said. Barnes said people should make sure they have proper air filters installed, and that more technologically sophisticated air filters would also help. Barnes encouraged outdoor workers to take breaks when possible to avoid too much exposure, he said. AirNow recommends people stay safe when doing outdoor actives so they limit their exposure. According to the Environmental Protection Agency's website, particle pollution can affect the health of a person's lungs or heart, and cause premature death, aggravated asthma, nonfatal heart attacks, irregular heartbeat, decreased lung function and coughing. Barnes said county residents can learn more about current air quality on where people can enter their zip code and see current air quality, alongside forecasts for the next day. 'I would like to encourage people to be aware,' he said. AirNow, as of Thursday, lists particle pollution for the Ashtabula area as having a moderate amount of particle pollution. Barnes said the last time wildfire smoke drifted over the region in 2023 certainly seemed worse. According to the American Lung Association's 2025 State of the Air Report, the 2023 Canadian Wildfires 'drove levels of ozone and particle pollution in dozens of central and eastern states higher than they have been in many years.'

'My mum never got to travel the world, hopefully her next journey lasts longer than 12 hours'
A woman who bottled her mum's ashes and threw them out to sea hopes her mum will now 'finally get chance to see the world' thanks to the kindness of strangers on social media. Cara Melia and her four siblings tragically lost their mum Wendy aged just 51 unexpectedly to heart disease in February of this year. During a recent visit to a beach in Skegness, Cara, from Oldham, decided that instead of scattering her mum's ashes, she would bottle them with a handwritten note and send them out to sea in the hopes her mum would travel the world. READ MORE: Missing Brit Greg Monks who disappeared after Portugal stag do found dead READ MORE: Alleged 'mastermind' fled to South America after Thomas Campbell 'tortured to death', jury told Join the Manchester Evening News WhatsApp group HERE Having always wanted to have travelled, Wendy never got the chance due to being full-time carer for her late brother and mum, and was a stay-at-home mum to her five children in the Sholver area. Speaking to the M.E.N, Cara said: "We lost my mum very unexpectedly. Nobody was prepared for at all. "We had the funeral and she was cremated. I had booked a holiday to go to Butlins with my friend in Skegness, so I thought I'd scatter her on the beach where she was at her happiest. "But my best friend thought of the bottle idea and put her out to sea. I wrote the note because I wanted her to finally get to travel because she didn't get to before she passed. "For a long time she looked after her late brother and her mum as their carer. She had five children who she ended up loving and adoring. "She was very quirky and different. She always loved her leather jacket and her boots. If she could be anywhere it would always be the beach. It didn't matter where it was. But just 12 hours after releasing the bottle into the sea at Ingoldmells Beach, another woman also on holiday at Butlins with her two children saw the bottle had washed up onto shore, and read the handwritten message from Cara, asking for any finders to throw it back into the water. "This is my mum. Throw her back in she's travelling the world," the note read. After finding the bottle and reading the note, the mum then posted a heart-warming status on Facebook, along with a video of her son throwing the bottle back into the sea, relying on the power of social media to track Cara down and inform her that Wendy was getting another chance at travelling. "Can everyone please share this far and wide in hope it finds Cara from Oldham!!," it read. "We found this lovely lady earlier today at Butlins, Skegness beach. She's been thrown back in the sea as requested.. happy travels Cara's Mum." Within minutes, the post had been re-shared in a number of groups and quickly made its way back to Cara, who now lives in Royton. "I'd thrown the bottle in hoping she'd have a good travel but within 12 hours she was back on the beach and it didn't go as planned," Cara added. "Then my best friend rang me and said 'your mum's on Facebook' and told me someone had found her already. I have said a big thank you to her for putting her back in the sea because so many people wouldn't have bothered. "I am hoping she goes further this time and finally gets a chance to travel the world. It seems to have touched so many people." --- Day in day out, our reporters in the Manchester Evening News newsroom bring you remarkable stories from all aspects of Mancunian life.
