The Dirtier The Better

Ep. 103: Self Love, But Make It Dirty

Hey guys! Welcome to the third episode of The Dirtier The Better! In this episode, I open up about the real, messy, and often complicated journey of self-love. I dive into why loving yourself can feel so hard, what self-love truly means beyond the buzzwords, and the everyday challenges that make it a lifelong practice instead of a quick fix. I share the tools, mindsets, and personal habits that help me through the tough moments, offering honest advice and gentle encouragement for anyone navigating their own self-love journey. It’s a vulnerable, grounding conversation about showing up for yourself—even when it’s not easy.

Ep. 102: Sisterhood: Shaken, Not Stirred

Hey everyone! Thanks for listening to the second episode of The Dirtier The Better! In this episode, I sit down with my two older sisters for a deep dive into what it really means to grow up in an all-girl household. Together, we unpack sibling-order stereotypes, the unspoken dynamics of being the youngest vs. the oldest, and how those roles shaped our personalities, relationships, and sense of girlhood. From shared memories to the unique challenges and joys of sisterhood, this conversation is equal parts nostalgic, honest, and laugh-filled, and gives an intimate look at the bond we’ve built and the stories that made us who we are.

Ep. 101: Body Image, Straight Up

Welcome to the premiere of The Dirtier The Better with Bella, the podcast where Bella dives into life’s messier moments with humor, honesty, and a martini. In this first episode, Bella tackles the ever-relatable topic of body image and her own personal struggles, and she gets vulnerable from the jump. She gets real about the insecurities she faces, how she's navigating them, and the small, doable ways we can show ourselves a little more compassion. Bella also gives a glimpse of her newest project in production, her debut short film Dear Bella, so be sure to stay tuned for more updates about where you can watch it once it's out. Expect laughs, a few surprisingly heartfelt moments, and plenty of “oh thank God it’s not just me” energy.  If you love the episode (or even if you merely tolerated it) be sure to follow, download, and leave a review on Apple Podcasts and anywhere you listen to help this brand-new baby podcast grow. Be sure to follow Bella on Instagram for any updates (@bellamccarthyy). Stick around for more chaos, more real talk, more martinis, and more Bella.
