From Hospital Gowns to Hero Gear: Jason Sotiris and the Birth of SuperTee

In this deeply moving episode of The Glitter Effect, host Kate sits down with Jason Sotiris, founder of SuperTee—a superhero-inspired medical garment transforming the hospital experience for children across Australia. Jason shares the heartbreaking journey of his daughter’s cancer battle and how one moment of frustration and helplessness led to a life-changing idea. Tired of hospital gowns that made children look and feel sick, Jason imagined something better—garments that offered comfort, dignity, and courage. What started as a desperate Dad’s solution has grown into a national movement, replacing clinical gowns with colourful, easy-to-use SuperTees that help kids feel strong in the face of serious illness. With deep compassion, creativity, and a drive to rewrite the narrative of what it means to be in hospital, Jason is helping thousands of families feel seen, supported, and super. This is a powerful story of resilience, purpose, and how even in the darkest moments, love can ignite change. SuperTee website: https://www.supertee.org.au/
