Stop Writing Boring Subject Lines (+ how to get your emails opened)

If your emails aren’t getting opened, the problem might not be your content. It might be your subject lines.

In this episode, Kendra breaks down why most coaches write subject lines that sound safe, predictable, and instantly ignorable… and how that’s quietly killing their email engagement. She explains the psychology behind curiosity-driven subject lines, why trying to sound “professional” often backfires, and how to write emails people actually want to click on.

Kendra also shares practical examples of subject lines that work, the biggest mistakes coaches make with email marketing, and why your emails should feel more like a conversation than a corporate newsletter. If your open rates are low or your list feels dead, this episode will completely change the way you approach email marketing.
