Misery Is Optional: The Mindset of an
Unbreakable Fighter - Tatiana Suarez,
UFC Mixed Martial Artist

UFC top contender Tatiana Suarez talks about the mindset that helped her overcome extraordinary adversity to reach the top of her profession. You'll hear about her journey from being the top amateur wrestler in the U.S. and an Olympic hopeful to being diagnosed with thyroid cancer at 19. After beating cancer, she found a new path in jiu-jitsu and MMA, only to face more setbacks through major neck and knee injuries.

Throughout the conversation, Suarez explains that her strength comes from refusing to stay stuck in misery: when life hits hard, she chooses to “figure it out and move on.” She also reflects on the strong women who shaped her mentality and the legacy she hopes to leave: perseverance, humility, and leading by example.

In this conversation with ReliaQuest Director of Mental Performance Derin McMains, you'll also hear Tatiana discuss:

• Staying present in training
• Managing fear before fights
• Treating every small step as an investment in the future
