EP 58 - Why We Leave Our 6 Kids—And How It Actually Saves Our Marriage

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.

Rewatching the first episode of OutDaughtered for the first time in 10 years
For the first time in a decade, Adam and Danielle sit down to watch the very first episode of OutDaughtered.
They relive the day their five girls were born, the chaos of the NICU, and the whirlwind of bringing the quints home — all while reflecting on the faith that carried them through one of the hardest (and most miraculous) seasons of their lives.
This raw and emotional conversation peels back the curtain on what really happened behind the cameras, the unseen moments of exhaustion, and the grace that held them together.
