Gumball Love PodcastAuthor: Melissa Roberts
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 Leger, 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."
Tuesday, 17 March, 2026
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.
