Welcome to the Glitter Effect, a podcast dedicated to shining a light on the movers, shakers, change makers, and all round living legends of our communities who are making a real difference. We all have a little glitter to spread, whether it's through kindness, action, or simply showing up when it matters most.
This podcast is all about those who sprinkle their magic to create positive impact. Each episode will showcase those who embody the true spirit of community, those who show up, make an impact, and inspire others to do the same by spreading their glitter. I hope that this podcast will inspire a new wave of community royalty, our next generation of glitter kings and queens.
My name is Kate Gniel, and I am a huge community advocate and host of the Glitter Effect. So join me as we get inspired, empowered, and ready to shine, because the Glitter Effect isn't just another podcast, it's a movement. Let's sparkle together.

Ageing with Grace: Esis Tawfik on Dignity, Connection & Changing Lives
In this inspiring episode, host Kate reconnects with a long-time colleague and friend, Esis Tawfik, the passionate CEO of Ageing with Grace—an organization dedicated to ensuring older Australians live with dignity, independence, and joy.
Esis shares the deeply personal story that sparked her mission: witnessing her own parents’ struggles with ageing, isolation, and the loss of independence. Combined with over 30 years of experience in aged care, disability services, and self-esteem education, Esis built Ageing with Grace to champion inclusivity, advocacy, and human connection for all, regardless of background.
Together, Kate and Esis reflect on their shared history at Vision Australia, discuss the emotional and practical challenges of ageing, and explore how community-driven support can truly change lives.
Takeaway Message: Everyone deserves to feel valued, heard, and connected—at every stage of life. Esis reminds us that it’s never too late to make a difference, and that ageing can be filled with grace, purpose, and sparkle.
