It's a special thing when a mother and daughter share a passion. And even more special when they get to enjoy it together professionally, and personally. The first time Keira Gotrell got on the water she fell in love. Her mom, Myrna, wasn't far behind and quickly understood her daughter's passion. Over a decade later, the women now coach the Hackensack Crew team together, a program that Keira founded in 2018 when she wanted to represent her high school in competition. Today we dive in to:

• How Keira (and ultimately Myrna) found rowing by chance
• Founding the Hackensack Crew team in 2018; lessons in advocacy & finding support systems
• What coaching as a mother-daughter duo is really like
• Myrna's battle with breast cancer & how the sport has supported her through it
• Rowing the Head of the Charles Regatta together
• Allowing rowing to be what it needs to be for you (and no one else!)
• Their non-profit Hope on Water

Did you stretch tho?! Something you've probably heard Peloton founding instructor Hannah Corbin ask once or twice in a class! Inspired by more than a decade of sweating with millions on the popular app, the dancer and fitness professional was inspired to put something together to help people do the one thing they are likely missing in their routine: stretching. Inspired by her own fitness journey and helping those in her community take time for them, she's released a new boxed set "Did You Stretch Tho: 52 Stretches to Increase Flexibility, Balance, and Performance." Today we dive in to:

• what inspired Hannah to put together a book of 52 stretches with easy-to-grab cards
• how stretching and taking time to slow down can change your life
• how creating cozy spaced helped her find success and motivate her to chase her dreams
• her path to Peloton
• Defining (and redefining!) what 'healthy' means after an autoimmune diagnosis
• Hannah's personal stretch routine
• Book tour
