Pardon My Success

This week we are sitting down with our most decorated guest to date, the incredibly talented actor, writer, sweet treat lover, and 2-Time Emmy Award Winning Producer, Jean Fiumara! From walking into a CBS affiliate and securing her first job, to continuing to produce award winning TV shows after facing cancellations, Jean's experience in the industry is a testament to the kind of flexibility and resilience needed to be a successful creative.

WELCOME BACK TO PMS!!! We return with the SEASON 6 premiere on a lil trip to The Berkshires for Kristina's Bachelorette Party!!! Come along the entire journey with this Maid of Honor as we celebrate the upcoming nuptials of the absolute most amazing girl I know with an entire weekend of dress-up, crafts, and good vibes (minus the absolutely horrifying nature related incident right at the end there!) and hope you enjoy these Confessions of a Mei of Honor :)

IT'S THE SEASON 5 FINALEEEEE!!!! We're closing out this season (and celebrating OVER 100 EPISODES!!!) with some good ole fashioned MeiTime as I meet again with fashion designer (and my wedding designer!!) Natalia Trevino Amaro. We look at all of the dresses I've tried on so far, and take a look at the two wedding dresses I'm hoping to alter, as well as discuss the BridesMei dresses and do a lil measurement tutorial!

THEN we have a special Behind the Scenes Making of my new single with the incredibly talented Joel Bouchard (his 3rd appearance on PMS!!) as he shows us how he crafted all of the instrumentals for "The Honeymoon Phase" coming March 26th 2026 (stick till the end for a sneak preview!)

We are getting ~introspective~ and writing a new song this week with the incredibly talented Nashville based singer/songwriter, Gabby Michelle!! Join us as we chat through what sonically inspires this indie artist's music and live performances. From her days at Berklee College of Music to the stage at the Bluebird Cafe, Gabby takes us through her experience, education, and personal process! Then it's time for us to write and compose "The Gray Area" a cinematic ballad coming soon from Mei & Gabby :)

We're getting ~spiiccyyy~ in here this week with author, actor, model, and creative icon, Casey Hodge!! Under the alias Cynthia A. Scarlett, Casey and her two bffs wrote "The Shadow of Mortalis," the new steamy Romantasy available now with all of the features we've been missing in the Romance Novel space! Casey tells us about the writing process, her experience in the industry, and everything that's coming up in the world of Olestra! Then get excited for us to do some light dramatic smut reading from this incredible novel.
