Description

DISCLAIMER: This episode isn’t a how-to or self-help seminar. It’s a raw, unscripted conversation between siblings mucking through everything from emotional flooding to cancel culture, attachment wounds to faith journeys, and the infinite mess of real family life. All opinions are personal; all stories are ours. Take what resonates, leave what doesn’t—your discernment is always important online. Welcome back to Good Women!This special unedited conversation drops you into part two of my sit-down with my brother, Ben Kelly, home on a rare visit from Bali. From the jump, we get honest about growing up “Kelly”: sibling spats, parental divorce, single mum miracles, and surviving the swirl of progressive suburbia and soccer specialist school.What’s inside this episode:Critical thinking in an age of propaganda: why emotional intelligence is the backbone of reasoning, and how to spot when your body’s running the showTribalism & echo chambers: when group-identity overrides nuanced thinking, and how protests can sometimes reveal the limits of convictionFamily fights, resolution and repair: why we’re all about arguments (but had to learn the endgame), and how respect + humility win over perfectionAttachment styles in adulthood: Ben drops gold on dismissive avoidant, anxious, secure, disorganized, and how childhood survival strategies morph into grown-up relationship quirksMasculinity, femininity & parenting: what biology, culture, and pendulum swings mean for raising boys and girls (and why self-responsibility wins over blame)Faith, agnosticism & love: what it means to choose conviction without losing connection—and how our family found harmony in differenceCancel culture, social pressure & truth-telling: do we owe the internet our stance on every controversy, or is real virtue found in living well without performance?Real talk about identity, relationships, and growth: the painful, beautiful process of becoming more honest, taking responsibility, and learning how (and when) to repairIf you’re here for a perfect family, you’re in the wrong place. If you’re here for deep connection, wild arguments, clumsy attempts at grace, and the sweet spot where love meets honesty—welcome home.Stay curious and stay loving. More truth, more humor, and more realness to come.For more of Peta Kelly: @petajean_ and @goodwomenshow on Instagram, plus the Substack: www.likehoneycomb.com Email: [email protected] Ben at @__benjames_ on Instagram and threads (two underscores at the front, one underscore at the back).
