What If He Comes Back?
It can be so exciting when the ex or that guy you were talking to comes back around, saying how he's been thinking of you and missing you.
But as soon as you start talking about yourself and what's new in your life, he's bored. Or he starts talking about this other girl he's talking to, or all these problems in his life.
As much as he said he's changed, these are very clear signals that things are still the same. In this episode, I talk about exactly what to look out for to see if this guy has really changed or if it's the same old Gumball Guy, and exactly what to say to get rid of him for good.

Q&A: Are Open Relationships Healthy? Can Exes Be Friends? Huge Age Gaps in Relationships?
In this episode, we're diving deep into some questions you guys asked me on Instagram. I'm sharing my take on open relationships and polygamy, 10+ year age gaps in relationships, can exes be friends, and what to do about dating burn out.
Have you been tempted by the allure of "open relationships" that everyone, including Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, seem to be raving about? If something feels off to you about it, it's because there is something very off about it. We'll talk about why people are drawn to this non-committed relationship (an oxymoron, yes) and why it just does not work.
An age-old question, can exes be friends? Are you still hanging out with your ex as a friend, or maybe you're dating someone who is friends with their ex and wondering if it's reasonable to be upset about it? There are basically two situations were it's ok or even unavoidable, but outside of that, it's not a great idea, and we'll talk about why!
Lastly, are you totally burnt out from date after...
Leveling Up and Raising Your Standards
This is the episode for you if you're sick of waiting around for the guy to text you back, or to actually take initiative and ask you out, but you're hesitant to actually cut him loose.
This episode is inspired by one of the girls in the community who DMed me a revelation she had where she finally raised her standards and stopped settling. Now, she feels liberated in dating.
This episode is designed to show you what your dating life and relationships can look like when you raise your standards and draw those boundaries!

How to Filter like a Freak
I used to put up with all the red flags. I'd let things slide because I didn't have the belief that I'd ever actually find a guy...since I'm tall, opinionated and financially successful.
This scarcity mindset hugely backfired! It kept me stuck in the cycle of dating Gumball Guys for years. The ironic thing is, all the things about myself that I was trying to hide, are the things my partner now loves the most.
This episode is to give you rapid fire the top things to look out for to know if you're dating or talking to a Gumball Guy, and to also remind you how important it is to BELIEVE. Believe that you are worthy, believe that there IS the perfect guy out there for you, and that you don't have to settle.
We also have a brand new workbook available to give you the full breakdown of all the different flavors of Gumball Guys and the red flags to look out for. Get it on the first page at gumballlove.com!

Navigating Love and Gumball Guys for Teens
Teenagers these days face unprecedented challenges when it comes to dating and relationships.
No other generation before them was raised in the world of social media (and now, social distancing).
With "we're just hanging out" and other no-labeling strangeness normalized, it can be hard to know if this guy you've been texting is really into YOU or just using you.
In this episode, I'm breaking down how teens specifically can notice the patterns of Gumball Guys so they can break out of the cycle and save themselves a lot of hurt and heartbreak in the future.
So if you are a teenager, or you have one in your life who needs to hear this, please listen and share!

Stop Beating Yourself Up Over Mistakes
You have to stop shaming and judging yourself for staying with the wrong guy, even though you see the red flags now. Period!
In this episode we answer the question...why do we feel so dumb for staying with a Gumball Guy or having done so in the past?
You are NOT dumb, and it doesn't help you in any way to think so. This episode will give you the mindset makeover you need to break out of the blame and shame game, and get on the path towards healing.

When Should You Have Sex with Him?
You're having a fun night on a date, or maybe a night out, and it's come to that moment when you're wondering whether you should go back to his place or have him come back to yours for sex or not.
While I can't make this decision for you and would never try to, I do want to give you a few questions to ask yourself before making the decision and to really think about.
We'll also talk about the real reason why guys ghost after sex-- it's often not having anything to do with you, and everything to do with them.
