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!

Lessons Learned after 51 Dates with Romance Novel Author Jolie Moore May 28, 2021

Show notes

An avid listener of the Gumball Love Podcast, Jolie reached out to me via email after listening to the episodes describing the different flavors of attention addiction. I was so impressed with how she was able to connect each "flavor" to a real life Gumball Guy she'd met over the course of her 51 first dates, I had to get her on the show!

Yes, after spending 20 years married to the wrong person, Jolie got divorced and set out to go on 50 first dates. Jolie openly shares this journey through her memoir and podcast titled "Fifty First Dates". She's also an author of several other romantic novels.

This episode is like "casual girl chat meets real coaching session". We totally dig into her current dating situation with a Gumball Guy, and decode his behaviors using the flavors of attention addiction.

We hear about what patterns she saw after going on so many first dates, how she learned to #filterlikeafreak and not just be open to anyone, what advice she'd give to other newly divorced women trying to date, and much more!

Is It Time to Hire a Dating and Relationship Coach? May 21, 2021

Show notes

Wondering if it's time to start working with a dating and relationship coach?

It can be scary investing in coaching. You might be embarrassed that your situation is such a mess, or worry that I'll judge you, or feel weak for asking for help.

I talked with some of the alumni of my Back to You Academy to see what thoughts were going through their mind when they decided to start coaching with me, and what advice they'd give to another woman considering coaching, but is still unsure.

In this episode, you'll hear:

What the Back to You Academy Alumni had to say about why they decided to hire a coach, and what they liked about my coaching style specifically
The difference between coaching and therapy (both complement each other well!)
How I personally ended up deciding to go to therapy and hiring coaches for my business
Why your friends can't continue to be your therapists/coaches
What you'll gain from coaching and how to know when it's right for you

If you're on the fence and want a no-pressure chance to just get to know each other and see if it's right for you, I'm offering 20min complementary calls. Don't worry, I will not try to convince you. It is completely your choice and I want you to feel good about it!

What I Wish I'd Known Before Falling in Love Apr 26, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, I reflect on what I wish I knew earlier on, back in the days when I was totally lost on everything love, dating and relationships. I think back to mistakes I'd made...although I don't really like to call them mistakes, because I think everything happens for a reason and everything happens in the timing it's supposed to.

Nevertheless, I have a list of 13 things I did that helped me on the journey of finding my true love. I believe that if I hadn't done these things, I certainly wouldn't be able to experience the deeply loving relationship I'm now in, because I wouldn't know who I am, I wouldn't love myself, I wouldn't understand my trauma and how to manage my triggers in a healthy way, and so much more.

Let me know your thoughts and if you can relate! Please share this episode on your social media and tag me so I know if this content is resonating with you.

Are You Caught in the Cycle of Playing Games? Feb 15, 2021

Show notes

Wondering if YOU are the Gumball Girl?

Sometimes we are the ones giving and receiving gumballs, and it feels good to get that dopamine hit. This isn't always a bad thing, if your relationship with this guy is not SOLELY based on these dopamine hits.

It becomes a problem when the guy is not seeking anything more than a quick "high", and there is no deeper level of intimacy and friendship holding the relationship together.

If you're worried you are a Gumball Girl or wondering why you're always caught up playing games in dating, this episode will help you decode what you are getting out of being with these guys and playing the games.

Are You Giving Too Much to the Wrong People? Jan 25, 2021

Show notes

When we are disappointed with another person or situation in our life, it can almost always come back to what expectations we had about that person or situation.

When someone doesn't come through for us, we assume it was their conscious choice. But often, we're assuming this person has more to give than they actually do.

Not everyone has the capacity to love you as much as you love them. And once we can recognize that and let go of expectations, our life will be much more peaceful.

Join me in this episode as I dive deeper into what boundaries are, the process of creating boundaries, how to recognize when your boundaries have been crossed, and more!
