Welcome back to Meet Ahead Hippie. I am Emily Schramm and this is a first for me. I am so thrilled to be doing this. I am currently in a van. Podcasting in a van. I have V. Kapaldi and I just love, I'm just going to read this because this is just so perfect. This represents who you are, V, in so many ways.

By questioning the status quo, V informs the community how to rewrite their narrative on life,

health care, and living.

V, founder of the brand, Paleo Boss Lady, which is her Instagram, is a TEDx speaker who continues

to win awards for her work and is a world leader who created the

award-winning, taking it to the streets movement. It is a grassroots effort that has Vee traveling

all over, living in the community-powered Bamvan, which is what we are in right now, creating

conscious awareness. V's work focuses on leading by example, sharing life

experiences, and tools for self-empowerment. I'm Emily Shramm, the ultimate meathead hippie.

Welcome to the show.

Thank you. Welcome to the show Paleoboslady. Thanks for having me, Emily. I'm so excited that you're my first broadcast like real live broadcast from the band van and isn't this fun these like headsets make it seem so legit i know i feel

like we're like doing a major event or something oh we are we are the behead hippie um i did what we just

saw each other at paleo fx yes which was so fun because you brought the van into the expo. And you got an award for Paleo magazine as well. I did. Tell me about it. Paleo ambassador of the year. And I had no idea. I'm still shaken over it because Sunday was the first day I actually got a hold to Paleo magazine.

And I'm just D-D-D flipping through to see who won all the best ofs.

And, you know, there's like three mentions on a page.

And then you get to this one full page where, you know, Paleo Magazine really, you know,

paid me a great honor and wrote an amazing, an amazing, you know, write up. Yeah, it was really,

like, I'm still blown away. I get emotional just thinking about it. I, you know, I don't do this for

that. I do this to serve and to create change. So let's talk about how you got, I mean, is this

journey started before the van?

Yes.

And I think it really probably goes back when you were diagnosed with MS.
