The Truth About Raising Kids on the Upper East Side with Joyce Chabbott

Joyce Chabbott is a content creator and mom of four who built her platform around life on the Upper East Side. In this episode, she and Rivki talk about the decision to intentionally share her life online and navigating criticism that she "glorifies motherhood" by not filming tantrums, why she teaches her kids about their privilege instead of hiding it from them, and the isolating experience of becoming a content creator when no one in your real life understands what you're doing. They also discuss setting boundaries with what her kids share about their friends, the fast-paced culture of raising kids in New York City, and how going viral by accident turned into an empowering career she built while still being fully present for her family. 📌 Rivki's IG: rivkirabinowitz | TikTok: rivkirabinowitz 📌 Joyce's IG: joycechabb | TikTok: uppereastsidemommy 00:00 Intro 01:12 Starting Content Creation by Accident 03:34 Isolation & Finding Confidence 06:16 "Stop Glorifying Motherhood" 09:07 Setting Boundaries with Kids 12:45 Teaching Teens About Loyalty & Secrets 16:49 Upper East Side Parenting 21:48 Teaching Kids About Privilege 26:59 From Teacher to Influencer 30:47 Building Something While Being Present 33:36 NYC Rapid Fire Guide
