UFC fighter Lauren Murphy dives into her newest passion project, Deep End Fitness in Houston, which specializes in stress inoculation through aquatic training. Lauren explains how the pool is a “great equalizer” to create a controlled stress response in anyone, from high-level athletes to weekend warriors. She details the science behind managing CO2 buildup and panic underwater and how mastering those skills translates to performing under pressure in any arena.

Lauren shares the origins of Deep End, how she partnered with co-owner Diego Cortes, and their mission of making elite training accessible. Whether you want to gain confidence in the water, perform when it counts, or simply be more resilient in daily life, Lauren’s insights on stress engineering will inspire you to get uncomfortable and build your mental fortitude.
