311: My Crystal Ball Predictions for 2026
As 2025 comes to a close, Kendra reflects on how quickly both life and business move—especially through the lens of becoming a parent—and uses that perspective to revisit her predictions for the year ahead. This episode sets the stage for what 2026 will require from health and wellness entrepreneurs as the market becomes more sophisticated and discerning.
A central theme is the evolving role of AI. While AI tools can dramatically speed up work and support decision-making, Kendra makes it clear they won’t replace human coaches. Real connection, expertise, and judgment remain the true differentiators in premium health services, with AI acting as an assistant rather than the authority.
Ultimately, this episode offers a grounded roadmap for 2026—one that blends smart AI adoption, human connection, clear differentiation, and consistent visibility to build a sustainable, trusted business in an increasingly competitive space.
In this episode you'll learn:
- Reflection on 2025 Predictions and AI in Health Coaching
- The Growing Demand for High-Touch Programs Over Low-Ticket DIY Courses
- Importance of Omnipresence and Decline of Generic Marketing Templates
- Predictions for 2026: Low-Ticket Role Shift and Influencer Qualities
