Are you a long-time listener of the Profitable Musician Show who’s been lurking in the background, hearing about the Female Musician Accelerator (FMA) and thinking “I’ll join someday”? Now may be the perfect moment to jump in. In a recent episode, Bree Noble pulled back the curtain to share the massive overhaul happening inside the FMA community—and why it matters for musicians, especially women over 40, looking for support, organization, and transformation in their careers.

Behind The Scenes Of Our Extreme Makeover

Why Go Behind the Scenes?

As Bree Noble explains, she’s a fan of transparency, loving podcasts that reveal “behind the scenes, what they’re doing, how they’re pivoting, things they’re changing, things that didn’t work, things that did work” 00:00:12. So, it makes sense that she wants listeners to get a taste of the evolution happening in her signature program.

Outgrowing the Old, Welcoming the New

The Female Musician Accelerator (formerly Female Musician Academy) has been around for over a decade. That’s a lot of time for content and community tools to accumulate—and, as Bree Noble put it, “since we’ve been there for so long, since it’s almost been 5 years, things have gotten messy and I hate messy. I hate clutter.” 00:04:44

Initially, all workshops, courses, and discussions were jumbled in a long, hard-to-search list. It felt, as Bree Noble analogized, “like your husband goes to the store and he buys all this awesome food… but he shoves it all into one shelf. All the things you want are in the way back.” 00:06:32

The result? Members were often frustrated trying to find trainings that could help them right now, and even Bree Noble found it a chore to locate materials for reference.

A Strategic Overhaul

Instead of putting “lipstick on a pig,” Bree Noble decided to reconstruct the experience from scratch. She spent an entire weekend envisioning “if I could build this from scratch, how would it look? What would it include? How would things be organized?” 00:08:12

The new FMA is now:

  • Completely reorganized with intuitive categories (branding, income streams, productivity, and more)
  • Structured so you know exactly where each resource lives
  • Designed to be “light and easy when someone goes in there knowing they know exactly where to find things. They know exactly what each space is for. And it’s just exciting to go in there…” 00:09:14

This isn’t just for aesthetics. It’s so that every member can tap into the FMA’s “rich and full of goodness and value, but it’s not hidden.” 00:17:55

Value-Add Features: It’s Not Just Organization

The FMA overhaul is more than a tidying-up project. It’s about helping musicians make progress, and that means supporting them with tools and community:

  • FMA Songwriting Group: Returning by popular demand, this “sidecar” isn’t the main reason to join, but “it ticks a box,” as members say, offering accountability and inspiration without intimidation or extra cost 00:11:10.
  • Goldie, Your Goals Guide: A digital tool to help you clarify, prioritize, and plan your next 90 days—like having Bree Noble personally walk you through your ambitions 00:12:41.
  • Quizzes & Assessments: To “help you figure out your best category of one artist authority asset” and determine where you’re at in your professional journey 00:13:14.
  • Regular Live Calls, Wins Wednesday, and a Members Directory: These features ensure you’re never alone, with feedback, accountability, and community built in 00:14:08.

Why Now?

Enrollment for FMA won’t be open indefinitely. Members who join annually by the end of August will get access to an exclusive accountability group and quarterly planning calls. As Bree Noble says, “we are going to be closing this membership sometime in September just to focus on our members… you won’t be able to join for a while” 00:19:36.

So, if you’ve been on the fence, now is the time to get “new eyes and ears on your music and your strategies… join a group of like-minded people where you’re going to feel uplifted, celebrated, and supported” 00:19:58.

"I just finished listening to your 5 part series that you put out, and it's so good. I am working right now on marketing, booking, and music and not on the road until tomorrow LOL), and it just reaffirmed things again. Everyone needs to take a listen so it just kicks you in the butt to get your music out there. I have been in the trenches a lot this summer, and sometimes the trench feels like it is going to cave in on you, and I needed this kick in the butt.
