About Gumball Love Podcast

Ever had a guy ghost you? He's into you and suddenly he pulls away or cheats? Does he leave and come back into your life? This is a Gumball Guy. Gumball Love is attention addiction. Attention is just like a Gumball, temporarily intense and sweet but soon the effect is gone. Guys addicted to the "Gumball" (any flavor of attention), get a high from the excitement, adoration and validation. During this cycle they appear to be falling in love. When the high is gone they pull away, ghost or cheat leaving you feeling confused, rejected and heartbroken. I'm your host, Melissa Roberts, professional relationship coach, creator of Gumball Love and the Back to You Academy. If you're ready to stop the cycle of toxic men, get through the break up once and for all, and finally get back to YOU, you are in the right place. This journey is about healing your heart, and you are encouraged to take the pace that is just right for you. In the process, you will build a foundation of confidence and strength that will make you unshakable, I promise. So get ready to level up your mindset and your lifestyle, as you awaken the seeds of greatness that are waiting to burst into full bloom. Let's do this!

   EP: 153 ARE YOU A GOOD DAUGHTER? -DR. ALISON ALFORD ON "DAUGHTERING."

   What if the invisible work you've been doing your whole life finally had a name? Dr. Alison Alford joins the show to introduce a concept she's spent over a decade researching: daughtering — the emotional labor, mental load, and relational effort women pour into their relationships with their parents, often without recognition or credit. In this conversation, we explore why daughters carry so much guilt despite giving so much, where healthy connection ends and enmeshment begins, and how to stop measuring your worth as a daughter by a checklist of tasks. Dr. Alford also shares how to have honest conversations with siblings, partners, and parents about reshaping these dynamics — without blowing everything up overnight. Whether you live across the country from your parents or down the street, whether you're the eldest or the youngest, this episode will give you language for something you've always felt but couldn't quite name. Dr. Alford's book, Good Daughtering: The Work You've Always Done, the Credit You've Never Gotten, and How to Finally Feel Like Enough, is available now.

   EP: 152 Why He Flirts with other Women in Front of you.

   Why Does He Flirt With Other Women In Front Of Me? You're sitting right there. And he's lighting up talking to the bartender. Making her laugh. Holding eye contact just a little too long. You feel it in your stomach. But you can't say anything because... what would you even say? "Don't be friendly"? That sounds crazy. Later, he brings up his ex. Again. Or you notice he's still active on the dating apps even though you've been seeing each other for months. Or you're at his friend's party standing there invisible while he charms everyone else. Each moment seems small. Explainable. But together? You feel like you're never quite enough. Like you're always aware of other options. Like you're one of many instead of THE one. And when you finally say something? "You're so insecure. I was just being friendly. My ex never had a problem with this." Now YOU'RE the problem. But what if your reaction isn't the problem? What if it's exactly what he wanted? Sound Familiar? Is this his pattern? Take the QUIZ HERE! Book a one time FREE CALL with Melissa Email: Melissa@GumballLove.com Instagram: @MelissaJaneRoberts

Published 7 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] But how are you going to meet each other like in that time? And my point is that wasn't my role, right? I'm not here to save this person, to help him work through his issues. And I think once I realized like that's on him and I felt some empathy for him, it did shift things for me. And then I realized, okay, go ahead. No, go ahead. Can you realize that the life as we continue to work with each other and there's a lot of self-discovery that goes along with that, the life that I, not the life, but the relationship that I know that I deserve, I was never going to find or never even be open to until that was done. that had to be completely that door had to be completely shut.
