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.

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
