In this episode of the InKredible Kids Podcast, you’re going to meet two InKredible kids, Shira and Noah, who both live with diabetes — and you’ll see how the same challenge can look completely different for different people. You’ll hear Shira explain what diabetes actually means in a calm, kid-friendly way. She talks about pumps, beeps, carbs, school, camp, and learning how to manage something big — without letting it define who she is. Then you’ll meet Noah, who brings you right into his world of sports, recess, and real-life moments where diabetes shows up at the most inconvenient times. From getting pulled out of a football game to dealing with beeping devices and juice breaks, Noah shares what it’s really like — with honesty, humor, and heart. This episode is not just for kids who have diabetes. This episode is for you if: • you’re dealing with any kind of challenge • you want to be a better friend • you’re curious about what other kids might be going through • or you need the reminder that you are not your diagnosis As you listen, you’ll learn: • how challenges don’t define you • how technology can help — but courage matters too • how asking “Are you okay?” can make a big difference • and how being a good friend doesn’t mean fixing — it means showing up Shira and Noah show you that you can live a full, fun, meaningful life — even when something hard is part of your story. 💛 Help Spread the InKredible If this episode meant something to you: • share it with a friend, classmate, or family member • follow and rate the podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts • tell others about the InKredible Kids Podcast Putting together episodes like this takes many hours of planning, interviewing, and editing — and sharing is the biggest way you help keep this going.
