In this candid, laugh-out-loud episode of Coffee with the Cassells, Stephen and Natalie unpack the chaos, controversy, and clarity that came out of their recent trip to Barcelona—from missed PBs and monster penalties to cold dinners and soul-searching reflections.

Inside this whirlwind recap, we dive into:

Penalty Pandemonium: How a 7-minute mystery penalty almost derailed the race—and Stephen’s sanity.

Pre-Race Mayhem: Late-night burgers the size of a small child, dodging buses, and walking everywhere (against all advice).

Wet, Wild & Wanderlust: Racing in soaked clothes after a lightning storm, locked out of the kitchen with stone-cold lasagne, and realising... maybe it’s not just about the sport.

The PB That Wasn’t: What went wrong, what went right, and why the mental shift after Barcelona might just change everything.

Sport vs. Life: Is High Rocks becoming too elite? What happens when you want to compete—but also live a full, family-led life?

Home Truths: Juggling school runs, nursery and toddler tantrums—plus a beautiful reminder that chaos can be calm when you shift your mindset.

Whether you're chasing podiums or just trying to keep the lasagne warm, this episode is a heartfelt (and hilarious) look at why sport, family, and fulfilment don’t always play by the same rules—and why that might be the point.
