After losing 40 LBS and fresh Spring Weather in NYC, I was ready to start online dating again.   I tried Match.com, Elite Singles and Inner Circle.    The experience was shocking to say the least as even in New York City with so many options, the filtering process was much more than I expected.

"I met a new guy, and I'm scared."

You've met a new guy. He's nice, mature, handsome...all the things, and you're scared. You're scared he won't like you, or that he will end up being another Gumball Guy.

There's probably a toxic relationship not too far away in your rearview mirror, and you're coming up on an exit to a New Relationship. Are you going to get off the exit and start fresh, or are you going to keep driving with the pain from the past following you and controlling you? 

Maybe it's time to take a pit stop and ask yourself, am I really into this guy? Why am I so worried if he likes me? What qualities are we both bringing to the table? What's the real reason behind why I feel scared and how can I stop?

First things first, do you know your own worth?

It's going to be hard, but I want you to not assume the worst of this new guy. There's a difference in projecting your past negative experiences on him and being appropriately observant of his...

What is Gumball Love?

Gumball Love is a brand-new concept that will literally change how you look at dating and relationships forever. Tune into this episode as Melissa goes deep into this formula that is now creating a world-wide movement. 

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. Suddenly the high is gone and they pull away, ghost or cheat leaving you feeling confused, rejected and heartbroken.

This podcast is about finding real relationships and filtering out the Gumball Guys.    You will become an expert at seeing the red flags long before you fall in love.  This new awareness will bring back the fun in dating, give you confidence again and set you on the course to finding true love while being...

You know he’s a Gumball Guy. But you couldn't stop thinking about him, so you just sent him a cute selfie. He responded and it made you feel really good. Now you're wondering, "Am I a Gumball Girl?".

The short answer: No! You are not Mrs. Gumball. I get this question a lot in my private messages, emails, and very recently in the private Facebook group.

It’s perfectly normal for you to start wondering if you are a Gumball Girl. But that’s the key difference between you and a real Gumball Girl. You have that ability to self-reflect. You are working to improve yourself by listening to this podcast, joining the Facebook group, joining the Academy, and all the other wonderful self-development things you’re doing.
