PROFITABLE MUSICIAN WEEKLY NEWSLETTER

November 12, 2025

Hey there, Profitable Musician!

If your holiday calendar looks anything like mine, it probably makes you both smile and sigh at the same time.

Between school concerts, church services, office parties, community events, extra rehearsals, family traditions, and the gigs that suddenly land on every day of the week (not just the weekends), December can feel like a joyful blur.

You love it. You want to be present for it.

But deep down you might be feeling the weight of one more responsibility that doesn’t fit: the constant hum of social media asking for your attention.

Maybe you’re wondering, “What will happen if I just step away for a bit?”

That tiny voice inside might be saying you need a break, yet the pressure to stay visible keeps you glued to your phone...

.When I talked with Seth from Social Media Escape Club, we both laughed about how easy it is to fall into the social media trap.

He said something that stuck with me: “If social media starts feeling like a job you didn’t apply for, that’s your cue to take a step back.”

I think that’s especially true this time of year.

You’re not the same person you were in your twenties, when you could live on caffeine and late nights and still have energy to post, perform, and make memories.

Now you have real responsibilities, people who need you, commitments that matter, and a desire to actually enjoy this season instead of rushing through it.

Here’s the truth most of us forget: stepping away for a while won’t erase your progress. It won’t make your fans forget you. In fact, they might respect you even more for showing that it’s okay to rest, to focus on what truly matters, and to return refreshed instead of burnt out.

Because if you ignore that pull to slow down, you’ll pay for it in another way.

You’ll either spread yourself so thin that everything feels mediocre—or you’ll have to say no to the holiday traditions that fill your heart because you’ve run out of time and energy.

Neither of those options serve your art or your life.

So this season, give yourself permission to unplug a little. Protect your peace, your joy, and your creativity. The online world will still be there when you come back.

And if you want to step away but still keep your music world looking professional and welcoming while you rest, I’ll be sharing something during our upcoming "5 Days of Deals" happening November 24-28 that can help.

​<3 Bree
