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.

Kindness in the Palm of Your Hand: Sarah De Jonge’s Story of 1000 Hearts
In this heartfelt episode, Kate speaks with Sarah DeJonge, the founder of 1000 Hearts, a global kindness movement centered around hand-sewn felt hearts. Born from a time of personal healing and a deep desire to spread compassion, 1000 Hearts began in 2016 as a small personal project and has since evolved into an international community of “heartmakers.”Sarah shares the deeply personal origin story of the project—sewing the first heart during a difficult period marked by separation, single parenting, and anxiety. Drawing on her background in crafting and her professional work in emotional support and grief care, she found that creating and sharing these small tokens of care was not only healing for others but for herself as well.Together, Kate and Sarah reflect on the profound impact of small, intentional acts of kindness and how they can offer hope, connection, and comfort in a chaotic world. The episode beautifully illustrates how purpose doesn’t have to be grand or expensive to be powerful—it can be hand-stitched, heartfelt, and held in the palm of your hand.🧵 “We all need kindness… and this was my way of giving and receiving it.” — Sarah DeJonge
