Pardon My Success

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 :)
