Welcome to Vinegar & Oil.

The Swanberg sisters come together in their very first episode of Vinegar & Oil taking a peek into their shared background yet contrasting lives as they set out to tackle One shared question:

what actually creates health, happiness, and peace in real life?

So what the hell are we doing here?! — not teaching from a pedestal, not selling a perfect system, and not pretending the answers are simple.

We were raised in the same unconventional household, took radically different paths, and now find ourselves asking the same question from opposite ends of the spectrum.

Lila lives a minimalist, scaled-back life, focused on dharma, nervous system regulation, and building something aligned.

Charly is two weeks postpartum, raising four kids in a blended family, running a high-volume chiropractic practice, and grappling with the feeling that comes after “doing everything right.”

This conversation touches on:

• Why hitting the milestones doesn’t always bring happiness
• Minimalism vs. Expansion — and why both can be paths to alignment

Seasonality, winter vs. spring “new year,” and why rushing change can backfire

Wellness perfectionism vs. real-world resilience

This isn’t a podcast about optimization, hacks, or perfection. It’s about nuance. It’s about living inside the tension.

And it’s about being honest about what actually works when life is messy, full, constrained, or in transition.

Some episodes will be themed.
Some will be reflective.

Some will be inspiring.
Some will simply follow the conversation where it needs to go.

This is Vinegar & Oil.
