PROFITABLE MUSICIAN:
FEM FRIDAY EDITION
December 12, 2025
Happy FEM Friday!
Last Friday I shared my top 5 Podcast episodes I recorded with Tara Brueske. Those were so fun and impactful based on your feedback, we'll be continuing the collab in 2026. If you missed that Top 5, here's the roundup.
But the other thing I'll be doing in 2026 is more solo episodes. Based on your feedback, especially on episodes #1 and #4 below, you find my personal take on challenges women face pairing music with life to be very valuable and applicable to your own situation.
So watch for more ME in the podcast in 2026.
Until then, here are my top 5 from this year in case you missed them...

1. Why Pivoting in Your Music Career Doesn’t Mean You Failed
You're reading the Profitable Musician Newsletter, FEM Friday Edition. This Friday newsletter is created for Female Artists & Advocates, and focuses on our mission to amplify quality music by Female Artists & Female-Fronted Bands in all genres and help them build a thriving music career and solid business. If you'd like to unsubscribe from FEM Fridays but still receive our regular Wednesday Profitable Musician Newsletter, click here and we'll note your preference.
The Called to Create Virtual Retreat is for anyone who feels the pull to create but doesn’t know where to begin or feels creatively stuck and unsure how to move forward. It includes practical and inspirational sessions to jump start any creative practice. Happening NOW.
DJ, professor, and author Amani Roberts returns to chat with me about the evolving path for musicians. Get actionable advice on education, gigging, networking, and building your music career in today’s industry.
Should musicians pursue college degrees or advanced education, and when does it deliver real value?
Why in-person connections and networking are essential—even in a hybrid or online learning world.
How musicians can tap into event planner associations and local groups to book better gigs.
Key music business fundamentals every performer needs to know (split sheets, royalties, and more).
R&B group trivia from Amani’s new book and trends on why groups faded out—and how the K-pop wave is bringing them back.
Ed and Carol Nicodemi are a folk-jazz vocal and guitar, sometimes piano, duo from NYC. They write and perform both individually and together, and the scope of their songs ranges from healing and hopeful, to jazzy and spirited. One fact you may not know about Carol, is that she loves her Zumba classes for fun and exercise.
When they were little girls performing family concerts in their living room (Gail learning every current Broadway score and Eileen memorizing every new Broadway lyric), they never imagined that one day, some of Broadway's most beloved stars would be recording their own songs or performing them on stages at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center!
"Collaborations" offers a refreshing affirmation: the spirit of the 60s, 70s, and 80s is alive and well. Each song is a testament to the enduring appeal of these decades, crafted with care to resonate with listeners who appreciate music transcending time.

PROFITABLE MUSICIAN WEEKLY NEWSLETTER December 10, 2025 Hey there, Profitable Musician! My family is crazy about books! My husband is an English Professor after all. And my daughter graduated with a degree in English. So, as you can imagine they've read a lot of books. And they definitely have their opinions about what makes a book good...which is why I was pretty intimidated to write a book myself. But I did write one, and it was one of the most rewarding and all-consuming projects I've ever...
