Christmas in a house with six kids is full of chaos, joy, and a whole lot of tradition. 🎄

In this episode of More Than Reality, Adam and Danielle Busby share their favorite Christmas traditions as a family of six kids — from Secret Sister shopping and cinnamon roll mornings to slowing down Christmas Day and focusing on memories over gifts.

As their kids get older, Adam and Danielle talk about how their holiday traditions have evolved, what’s stuck, what’s fallen off, and how they’ve learned to be more intentional with time, faith, and family during the busiest season of the year.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Christmas traditions with a large family

• How to slow down Christmas morning

• Creating meaningful memories with kids

• Faith-centered holiday traditions

• Choosing experiences over gifts

Whether you’re parenting littles, teenagers, or a mix of both, this episode is full of practical ideas and encouragement for the Christmas season.

In this raw and unfiltered episode, Adam and Danielle open up about the real breaking point that pushed them to finally step away from filming. From years of spiritual battles to emotional exhaustion, we’re sharing the side of our journey that the cameras never showed — the moments that nearly broke us… and the faith that put us back together.

We talk honestly about:

• The hidden pressures of filming a reality show

• How editing shaped a version of us that didn’t feel true

• Danielle’s emotional and spiritual battle behind the scenes

• How stepping away helped us heal, rebuild, and rediscover our purpose

• Why we still feel called to share our story today

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stretched beyond what you thought you could handle — this one’s for you. 💛

In this episode, Adam & Danielle open up like never before about what life was really like behind the cameras of OutDaughtered. From filming with six kids, managing nannies and safety, navigating exhaustion, and keeping their home life grounded — the Busbys reveal the parts of their marriage and family life that the show never captured. For the first time, they share the hidden struggles, the emotional load, the “fake but not fake” parts of reality TV, and why the word “divorce” has NEVER been allowed in their vocabulary. They talk about the pressure of being publicly known, the misconceptions that follow them, and how they protected their kids and their marriage through one of the wildest seasons of their lives. If you’ve ever wondered what the Busbys’ life was actually like when the cameras stopped rolling — or how their faith held them together — this is the episode to watch. ▼ SPONSORS ▼ Cozy Earth — Use code MORETHAN for up to 40% off Poncho Outdoors — Visit: ponchooutdoors.com/moran for $10 off + free shipping SUBSCRIBE for more episodes about faith, family, marriage, and real-life Busby stories.

Fall break + event week = maximum chaos… but also clarity. We share how we’re keeping faith first while prepping Danielle’s After the Rain women’s event, closing on our house, navigating school changes for Blayke and the quints, and even weighing a possible homeschool season. Plus, a peek at a potential book/legacy project for the Busby family.
