In this IK Teens episode, Charlene Aminoff shares a powerful message about strength, resilience, and self-worth. This episode was originally recorded live during an IK Teens Zoom session, bringing together teens for a real and meaningful conversation. Through her experience, she speaks about what it means to face challenges, process difficult moments, and choose to grow from them rather than be defined by them. As we approach Pesach — a time of renewal, growth, and personal freedom — this conversation offers a meaningful reminder that real strength comes from within. It’s about how you see yourself, how you respond to challenges, and how you move forward. This episode is for any teen who has ever felt hurt, left out, or unsure of themselves — and is ready to discover their inner strength. 🎥 The full video of this session is available on the InKredible Kids YouTube channel.

What starts as a conversation about chess… turns into something much deeper. In this episode, Morah Tziri sits down with  16-year-old Daniel from Australia who started playing chess at just four years old — and hasn’t really looked back since. From winning tournaments as a little kid to playing full games blindfolded (yes, really), this conversation explores what it actually means to get good at something. But more than that… 👉 What happens when a hobby becomes your thing👉 How winning, losing, and pressure shape the way we think👉 Why being challenged is actually the best gift👉 And how every child can find something that builds confidence and identity Even if you don’t know the first thing about chess (same 😅), this episode is for you. 💛 Don’t Miss This If you haven’t yet watched the Libby video, please, please go watch it.

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.

Ever seen a kid turn a hobby into something you can touch, wear, or play? We sit down with two creators who prove that tiny steps can transform into big wins. First, Rochel Tzivia walks us through her sewing journey—from learning to thread a bobbin to designing and stitching her own Bas Mitzvah dress. She shares smart alteration tricks, how to rescue a too-short dress with a new tier, and why a dedicated sewing nook under the stairs changed everything. Along the way, she honors her great-grandmother’s seamstress legacy and reminds us that the real craft is patience: pin, cut, sew, unpick, breathe, repeat.Then we meet Rafael, the ten-year-old cofounder of Mentsch Cards, a mitzvah trading card game you can find in Judaica shops and online. He breaks down how each card teaches a single mitzvah with fun facts and gameplay stats, how silver and gold cards work, and why you have to complete five real-life tasks to earn that shiny gold. Behind the scenes, he and his father researched Sefer HaChinuch and Rambam, hired an illustrator, found a factory, and partnered with a distributor—real product steps, kid-level heart. With 27 stores on board and plans for new languages, he’s building a brand that turns collecting into character.What ties these stories together is a simple truth: small actions compound. A custom hem boosts confidence. A card pack nudges kindness at home. If you’ve got an idea, make the first version for yourself. Set up your space so starting is easy, share your progress, and let momentum grow. We’re celebrating kids who finish what they start—and inviting you to do the same.If this inspired you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review. Your support helps us spotlight more incredible kids—and might be the nudge another young creator needs to begin. Support the show
