Episode Description

In this episode of More Than Reality, Adam and Danielle Busby open up about something most parents rarely talk about: why stepping away from their six daughters—including the quintuplets—is actually vital for their marriage, mental health, and family unity.

Treat the man in your life (or yourself!) to a shirt he’ll actually love. “Get him Poncho.”


From travel schedules and solo parenting to the guilt (or lack of it), boundaries, routines, and the chaos that comes with raising six girls, the Busbys share:


  • Why intentional time away from the kids matters

  • How they keep their marriage strong with date trips and getaways

  • The real challenges of solo parenting when one parent travels

  • Why they don’t bring back souvenirs—and what that teaches their kids

  • The systems and boundaries that keep their household sane

  • How opposites (and lots of teamwork) make their parenting work



If you’re a parent, especially a parent of multiples, or just someone who loves the Busby family’s real and unfiltered moments, this episode will encourage you, challenge you, and make you feel less alone in the chaos of family life.
