Belly Podcast - 3 March 2026

When you hear the word disabled, what image conjures up in your mind? Someone in a wheelchair? Somebody physically restricted? An old person? Someone you automatically judge as being unable to communicate or incapable of achievement in other areas of life. That’s not always the case.

There are also many people with disabilities we can’t see. Things hidden beneath clothing, behind brave masks, disclosed through fear of being discovered and labelled or ignored, judged or categorised as somebody unable to contribute to society in ways we’re used to.

Do you think that’s fair?

Rose Keeping recently completed the Bay FM Radio Broadcast Course and is a 67-year-old vibrant, joyous, determined lady who wants to see a change in the way society views those living with any form of disability. She'd like people to look beyond the obvious physical signs to see the person inside. The human.

Rose is facing her recent diagnosis of CIDP Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy head and in doing so hopes to create change in the way people with disabilities are seen and treated.

Belly Podcast - 24 February 2026. Guest: Rose Keeping.

My guest on the show today could answer to one of many names, depending on what country she’s in or the company she keeps. 

Maha Laxmi Grace – Lila Grace - Cosmic Grandma –Precious Elder - Aunty Lila.

Birthing doula, activist, astrologer, public speaker and respected community Elder.

Aunty Lila was a participant in the CBF grant funded and award nominated project WOW: Wise Older Women - Series 1. The aim of the series is to raise the profile and status of women aged 55-85 and acknowledges the value of older women and their crucial role in society as wisdom holders.

While still at school this budding cosmic astrologer was chosen as Australian ambassador for the United Nations and travelled to the US during 'The Summer of Love'.

I invited this Cosmic Grandma in to chat about how her participation in the WOW project opened up the opportunity to have her story included in a book titled Rebel Ma: Women’s Stories of Revolution compiled by Saoirse Connolly.

 

“Rebel Ma is a multi-author book, feminine leadership incubator and collective visibility accelerator for women who dare to dream and are ready to reimagine the future we want to live in. 

Rebel Ma isn’t just a book… it’s an act of revolution, a living testament to the return of feminine leadership. This is your call to reclaim your voice, your visibility and your impact.

We are writing a new future, one story at a time.

Your voice is your power.

Your story is your legacy.

Your leadership is the revolution".
