3 Lessons Learned From A $200K Burnout | Grow With Kepo Ep.9

Lessons I Wish I Knew Before Burning Out On $200K A Year

On this powerful solo episode of Grow with Kepo, your host Kepo gets raw and real about a season of deep misalignment. Even while earning $200,000 a year, she was burnt out, stuck in cycles of self-comparison, and struggling with impatience. Kepo opens up about the three truths she wishes she had learned sooner, from rethinking short-term pressure, to building real financial safety, to betting bigger on herself. This is the episode for every high achiever secretly asking, “Why am I still so unfulfilled?” Let’s talk about what it really takes to shift into sustainable alignment.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
• Pressure to succeed fast can fuel burnout and comparison
• Success in one year is often overestimated, while five-year growth is underestimated
• Impatience leads to repeated burnout cycles
• Building a business takes time, especially with a full-time job
• Rest, relationships, and self-care are non-negotiable for sustainable success
• Financial safety nets create freedom and reduce desperation
• Losing $70K taught Kepo the value of building slow and steady
• Making smart investments matters more than flashy ones
• Confidence grows from execution, not just ideas
• The real win is becoming who you need to be to sustain success
