#222 - Kelly Wetteland: Purpose, Pressure, and Becoming Yourself

Kelly Wetteland is a senior at the University of Arizona, a rising triathlete on the World Cup circuit, and someone trying to figure out how to grow up without losing herself in sport.In this conversation, we talk about identity, ambition, spirituality, burnout, and the strange transition from being a college athlete into the “real world.” Kelly opens up about breaking both arms in a bike crash, the pressure of high-performance environments, and learning how to chase big goals without letting results define her worth.We also dive into her upbringing in Los Alamos, New Mexico, life on the Arizona triathlon team, traveling through Europe to race, and why she’s fascinated by long-term thinking, history, and faith. Along the way, we get into parenting, gratitude, saying no, the importance of discomfort, and what it means to become the best version of yourself.Kelly’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/klwetteland/Ways to Support the Show👇🏼Nothing Novel: https://nothingnovel.life Socks: https://stupidquestions.show/pages/sq-merch Newsletter: ⁠https://stupidquestions.show/pages/newsletter-signup
