Podcasts about Cilla

When you choose to stay after an affair but the affair created a child, what does moving forward really look like?This week on Blended, Kate Ferdinand is joined by Nathalie and Cilla to unpack two deeply emotional dilemmas about families that didn't break apart but were permanently changed.In the first, a wife shares how she and her husband worked through his infidelity but now there is a child from the affair. At a recent BBQ she felt embarrassed, exposed and emotionally overwhelmed. She never imagined becoming a stepmum this way, yet her husband wants everyone to come together as one family. In the second dilemma, the extended family invites the Love child's mother to gatherings. The panel reacts strongly as they discuss boundaries, respect and whether forgiveness of a partner automatically means full acceptance of everything that came from the betrayal.Kate admits she finds this one hard. She and Cilla debate what forgiveness really means in practice and can you truly separate an innocent child from the pain attached to how they arrived? Nathalie questions whether forgiving without consequence risks repeating the cycle.This episode is honest, emotional and challenging because sometimes healing isn't about leaving, It's about learning how to live with what happened.

Say what? Både spänningsförfattare Cilla Ingeborg och romanförfattare Malin Lundskog skriver om mammor och mammarollen och hamnar i diskussion om normer och karriär. Dessutom redigerar de i sina kommande böcker och inser att livet är en ständig research att använda i kommande böcker. Och äntligen är omslaget till Malins kommande roman Min sämsta väninna klart. Precis som baksidestexten, som hon läser högt för Cilla. Och alla lyssnare av podden för er som gillar berättelser - och livet bakom dem. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Kate Ferdinand is joined by Cilla and special guest co-host Chuckie Online, presenter, DJ and podcast host, for a powerful conversation from the perspective we don't hear often enough, the stepson.Chucky opens up about growing up with both a loving dad and a loving stepdad, and how their dynamic shaped him. He reflects on the unique balance between his mum, his dad and his stepdad, and how he never even realised he was in a blended family because it simply felt normal. He also shares the emotional impact of losing his stepdad and how the family navigated that grief together.The episode then turns to a listener dilemma. A mum is terrified that tension between her teenage son and her husband is escalating. Her son is taller now, more defiant, and when her husband raises his voice at her, her son steps in, chest puffed and ready to fight. She fears that if things ever turn physical, there will be no coming back from it.Together, Kate, Cilla and Chuckie discuss boundaries, communication, male ego, teenage triggers and the absolute line that cannot be crossed. They unpack what teenage boys are really reacting to, how past experiences can heighten protective instincts, and why protecting the relationship before it reaches breaking point is critical.An honest, emotional episode about loyalty, respect and what happens when power struggles threaten family stability.

Efter att Malin har visat ut sina karaktärer flyter det på i hennes manus och hon är dessutom klar med en av sina kurser i kreativt skrivande.

Cilla som egentligen inte tycker om känslor gör inget annat än känner i dagens avsnitt. Hon känner sockerdrickspirr, lättnad och avundsjuka ända fram till slutet av episoden då Malin bjuder på boktips som gör henne överväldigad av glädje (?) och dessutom chockad. Och Malin då?

El nuevo régimen financiero de la próxima década: “Bonos y bolsa vuelven a moverse juntos”. CillaEdoardo Cilla, Director Global Macro & Strategic Asset Allocation en Fidelity International, analiza el actual entorno macroeconómico destacando que la economía global ha entrado en una nueva era tras la pandemia de 2020. La inflación se mantiene alta y volátil, especialmente en EEUU y Reino Unido, mientras que los tipos de interés han subido y los rendimientos de los bonos a diez años alcanzan niveles históricos. Este nuevo régimen, marcado por mayor correlación entre acciones y bonos y por la incertidumbre económica, se espera que perdure entre cinco y diez años.En cuanto a la inteligencia artificial, Cilla subraya su potencial para aumentar márgenes, ingresos y productividad de las empresas, aunque advierte que la implementación conlleva costes y riesgos, como la necesidad de reentrenar y capacitar a la fuerza laboral. La dispersión entre ganadores y perdedores será alta, lo que requiere un enfoque activo de inversión que identifique compañías con mayor potencial de transformación y crecimiento en sus mercados.Cilla señala que, aunque las valoraciones actuales son elevadas, los balances de muchas empresas siguen siendo sólidos, con niveles de liquidez significativos. Esto permite que las compañías aprovechen oportunidades de eficiencia y expansión a nuevos segmentos de clientes. La clave para los inversores será centrarse en los fundamentos y no en el ruido del corto plazo, buscando nombres con capacidad real de generar cambios disruptivos y retornos sostenibles en el tiempo.Para 2026, recomienda diversificación geográfica y sectorial. Europa se beneficia de nuevo gasto fiscal y reformas estructurales en países como Alemania, Japón, Corea y mercados emergentes como China e India, que potencian la adopción tecnológica. Además, resalta la relevancia renovada de los bonos, aunque con riesgos inflacionarios, y la importancia de estrategias multi-asset que combinen renta fija gubernamental, deuda corporativa y activos de retorno absoluto, adaptándose al nuevo entorno económico post-pandemia.#finanzas #bono #bonos #bolsa #bolsadevalores #mercados #economia #europa #eeuu #volatilidad #forex #entrevista #negociostv Si quieres entrar en la Academia de Negocios TV, este es el enlace:   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwd8Byi93KbnsYmCcKLExvQ/join Síguenos en directo ➡️ https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pSuscríbete a nuestro canal: https://bit.ly/3jsMzp2Suscríbete a nuestro segundo canal, másnegocios: https://n9.cl/4dca4Visita Negocios TV https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pMás vídeos de Negocios TV: https://youtube.com/@NegociosTVSíguenos en Telegram: https://t.me/negociostvSíguenos en Instagram: https://bit.ly/3oytWndTwitter: https://bit.ly/3jz6LptFacebook: https://bit.ly/3e3kIuy

This week, we're joined by Jayne Tunnicliffe, who played chavvy chippy worker Yana Lumb on Corrie back in the mid 2000s. Jayne opens up about her long and varied career in showbiz, and how it led to her securing the part of Cilla's tarty mate for a one-off appearance that went on to be a recurring role for a couple of years. Whether deep frying a turkey or sitting in a bath of mushy peas, Yana was always doing something to make viewers laugh, and here, Jayne recalls many of her happy memories working on the show.

This week on Blended, Kate Ferdinand is joined by Nathalie and Cilla to unpack a dilemma that challenges the unspoken expectations of blended families.A woman writes in about her relationship with a man who has children from a previous partner. When they first got together, he was happy to keep things separate, no pressure to step into a parenting role, and that suited her perfectly. But now, his family have started making comments, and he's beginning to change his mind. Suddenly, the idea of becoming a stepmum feels less like a choice and more like an expectation.The panel really respect her honesty, she laid out her boundaries from the start but they question whether being with someone who has kids means you have to take on the stepparent role eventually. Cilla argues that while you might start off playing the aunty or the cool friend, that approach doesn't work long-term especially if you live together. The aim, she says, should be to grow.Not everyone agrees. Kate and Nathalie discuss the emotional pressure women often face to "mother" in blended dynamics, and the fine line between respecting someone's boundaries and avoiding the impact on the children involved.

This week on Blended, Kate Ferdinand is joined by Cilla and Nathalie to unpack a dilemma that's left one stepmum torn between her child and her parents.She writes in devastated that since having a baby with her partner, her parents have changed, they only want to look after their biological grandchild and have completely pulled away from her stepson. Before the baby arrived, they treated him like their own. Now, she's heartbroken and questioning whether she ever imagined having to set boundaries with her own family.Kate doesn't agree, saying that all children deserve to feel included and that if your family won't treat them equally, it's your job to protect the child. But Cilla challenges that view, arguing that while you may choose a blended family, others in your life aren't always obliged to be on board even if it hurts.Together, they explore a painful but important question: where do you draw the line when it's your own parents showing bias?

This week on Blended, Kate Ferdinand is joined by Nathalie and Cilla to unpack a dilemma that touches on family loyalty, jealousy, and boundaries.A stepmum writes in upset that her partner's mum still has a close relationship with his ex. They spend time together, but she and her mother-in-law have no relationship at all. She admits it makes her feel jealous, insecure, and even a little pushed out of the family.Kate argues that this is a normal reaction most people would feel the same sting but stresses that it's important to recognise the feeling without acting on it. Cilla takes a tougher stance, saying it's none of the stepmum's business as long as her partner's mum has a good relationship with her son and grandchildren.The panel explores the wider questions: What happens when loyalties blur across old and new relationships? Is it natural to feel jealous, or does jealousy create bigger problems? And how do you navigate in-laws who still keep one foot in the past? Hosted on Acast.

This week on Blended, Kate Ferdinand and Nathalie are joined by special guest co-host, presenter and dad Rickie Haywood-Williams. Together, they tackle the dilemma of a mum whose biological son lives with his dad, while she lives with her partner, stepdaughter and their new baby. She admits she never thought she wouldn't live with her biological child, and now she worries she can feel him pulling away as she builds a family under a different roof.For Rickie, this hits really close to home. His oldest daughter is from a previous relationship, and now he lives with his stepdaughter and young son. He talks honestly about how he navigated that shift with his daughter, stressing how important it is to keep expressing love, carving out time just for them, and staying consistent even when teenagers seem distant. Sometimes, he says, it's just about sending that text or making that call even if it doesn't get a reply.Kate reflects on her own household, where the little ones are desperate to see the older kids. Nathalie channels her inner Cilla and reminds everyone that different households can have different rules, and that's okay what matters most is the connection and the love.The panel also debate the role of phones. Rickie shares that if he could go back, he'd have restricted phones for longer, because while they help kids stay in touch across households, they can also pull children into isolation and take away valuable family time. The group talk about guilt, balance, and how to make sure your children feel seen and loved no matter where they call home.Follow @blended on Instagram to share your story. Hosted on Acast.

This week on Blended, Kate Ferdinand is joined by co-hosts Nathalie and Cilla to unpack a heartbreaking dilemma.A mum writes in devastated after her partner refused to take in his daughter's older sister meaning she may end up in care. She's torn apart, not just for the child, but also because she fears what it says about her partner. If he can turn his back on his daughter's sibling, could he one day do the same to her son?The ladies feel very strongly that siblings should not be split up and urge the mum to fight for the girl to live with them. Cilla and Nathalie share their anger at how a child could be left behind, while Kate calls Rio to join the show to get a male perspective. Rio insists he wouldn't let a child go into care but he's also brutally honest that a lot of men might, when faced with financial pressure or the question of biology.Together they explore whether “not my child” is ever a fair excuse, the painful reality of how easy some people can separate siblings, and what responsibility really looks like in blended families.Follow @blended on Instagram to share your story.

This week on Blended, Kate Ferdinand is joined by co-hosts Cilla and Nathalie to tackle a dilemma that cuts to the heart of step-parenting. A listener writes in about her stepson, who she's helped raise for almost a decade after his biological mum wasn't around. For years, she's been the one doing the school runs, bedtime routines, and being “mum” in every way that mattered.But now his biological mum has reappeared and everything has shifted. Her stepson's behaviour has changed, and suddenly the stepmum feels like she's being pushed out of a role she's built her life around.The ladies explore the painful truth many stepparents face: the sense that, no matter how much love and care you give, you can still be sidelined when a biological parent decides to step back in. They discuss the emotions at play from a mum's possible shame for not being there, to a child's natural pull towards wanting that maternal bond, to the stepmum's fear of being discarded after years of sacrifice.Kate and Nathalie debate whether the stepmum should hold firm in her place as the one who's raised him, or whether blended families sometimes have to weather these painful shifts. They also talk about how to stop resentment building, the importance of reassurance for both the child and the step-parent, and why blended families need to be ready for these moments of sudden change.

This week on Blended, Kate Ferdinand, and co-hosts Cilla and Nathalie invite listeners into their group chat — the place where wild dilemmas get sent. Some never make it to the podcast because they're just too outrageous… but today, they're tackling two viral moments that had people talking.The first? A woman who bought food for her six biological children but not for her stepchild. Her husband asked, but she didn't see anything wrong with it. The ladies get heated as they unpack whether this is the ultimate “wicked stepmother” behaviour, and question why the dad stood by and let it happen.The second? A stepdad who wasn't invited to his stepdaughter's graduation, despite being in her life since she was four months old. Hurt, he decided to cut off financial support. The panel debates whether this was justified or damaging, asking: what role did the mother play, and is this about boundaries or bitterness?Follow @blended on Instagram to share your story.

This week on Blended, Kate Ferdinand is joined by co-hosts Cilla and Nathalie to unpack a heartbreak that many stepmums quietly carry: the grief of losing their stepchildren after a breakup.A listener writes in devastation after her relationship ended not because of the partner, but because she no longer gets to see the children she helped raise. Their mother doesn't think it's appropriate, and just like that, it's like she never existed.The panel discuss the emotional fallout stepmums can face when love isn't “enough” to grant them long-term connection even after years of parenting. Kate opens up about how this exact scenario has always been one of her biggest fears and admits she doesn't think she'd cope.Cilla reflects on the reality vs. the ideal reminding us that we don't live in a world where every bond is protected just because it's real. And Nathalie asks the big question: what impact does it have on the children when someone who loves them simply disappears?This is a powerful conversation about invisible grief, unspoken heartbreak, and the emotional toll of loving children you don't legally “own.” Because when stepmums are told to love like a parent but let go like a stranger.

Patrons get to hear me try to stump Sarah. Midnight on the Scottish Shore by Sarah SundinIn a time of war, danger lurks beneath the water--and in the depths of the human heartAs the German war machine devours the Netherlands, the only way Cilla van der Zee can survive the occupation is to do the unthinkable--train to become a spy for the Nazis. Once dispatched to Britain, she plans to abandon her mission and instead aid the Allies. But her scheme is thwarted when naval officer Lt. Lachlan Mackenzie finds her along the Scottish shore and turns her in to be executed.Yet perhaps she is more useful alive than dead. British intelligence employs her to radio misleading messages to Germany from the lighthouse at Dunnet Head in Scotland--messages filled with naval intelligence Lachlan must provide. If the war is to be won, Lachlan and Cilla must work together. But how can he trust a woman who arrived on his shores as a tool of the enemy--a woman certain to betray both him and the Allied cause?Get your copy of Midnight on the Scottish Shore by Sarah Sundin.Meet Sarah:My novels explore the drama, daring, and romance of the World War II era.

In this episode, Cilla Benko, Director General of Swedish Radio and Vice President of the EBU, joins Laurent Frat on the sidelines of Radio Days Europe 2025 in Athens. Cilla talks about innovative AI projects aimed at enhancing user experience and about the future of radio in cars. She delves into the continued resilience and role of radio in the evolving media landscape, and the importance of trustworthy news content. This is an in-depth interview with one of the industry's leading figures on the role of public service radio in today's media ecosystem.

The sun has had it's hat on, in the UK. Marina is not in the UK. She's still on holiday, where it's cloudy. What are the chances? Somehow, Jemma has managed to find a Cilla clip that draws a comparison to the situation. Marina takes it well and, Trawl trooper that she is, she's packed her mic so she and Jemma can trawl through what on earth is going on at Reform UK.Despite being able to count the number of MP's they have on one hand, there's serious trouble at mill and a very public spat has ensued, seemingly triggered by Rupert Lowe thinking he should be leader post his endorsement from Musk. Watching them eat themselves, it occurs to the Trawl ladies, that maybe, just maybe the UK media gives them all far too much credence. After that Jemma and Marina discuss Labour's latest announcements concerning benefits, including disability benefits and PIP specifically. The fact they're going after the most vulnerable in society feels disgusting to them and the way they're going about it is pure Tory. Starmer promised no more austerity, there 'could' be a wealth tax, but no, it feels like the people who have the least are expected to suffer. Not good. As for the party line the MP's are spouting as they do the rounds, well, it's depressingly Tory too.After that topic it feels only fair to finish with a farewell to Darren Grimes who has left GB News. A very emotional Darren cited not being able to say exactly what he wanted to as the reason for leaving. Jemma and Marina wonder what on earth he wants to say that you can't say at the 'home of free speech.'It's bon voyage to him and hello to some under rated tweets and a brilliant pudding served by Stewart Lee.
