NeoTrad Life
Welcome to NeoTrad Life — where modern love meets old-school values (and a little chaos in between). We’re Beth, a colorful tattoo artist, and Charles, a business-minded optimist, navigating marriage, co-parenting, faith, and family in the new world of blended life — with our bulldog Steve snoring in the background. 🐾 Here, we keep it real and relatable — from dating after divorce and Sunday meetings to goal setting, faith talks, and the funny stuff that keeps us sane. Pull up a chair, grab your diet Chik-fil-a Lemonade (or your sanity snack of choice), and join us as we laugh, learn, and build a life that’s a little messy, a little meaningful, and 100% us.

In this episode of the NeoTrad Life Podcast, we open up an honest conversation about self-doubt—the kind that sneaks back in when you least expect it.
