More Than Reality with Adam and Danielle

• EP 61 - Are We Ruining Christmas? Telling Our Kids the Truth About Santa

  ⚠️ Parent-only episode alert: If you’ve got little ears around who still believe in the magic of Christmas, maybe save this one for later!In this episode of More Than Reality, Adam and Danielle get real about Christmas, Santa, and the Elf on the Shelf now that their girls are 10. From accidentally throwing away all the elves during a move (yep, ALL of them) to navigating what to say when your kids start asking the hard questions, they unpack the tension between keeping the magic alive and being honest, faith-filled parents.You’ll hear funny and chaotic Busby-life updates—kitten-sitting over Thanksgiving, Bo and Gus meeting a cat for the first time, Ava’s cat allergy flare-up, Adam’s smoked Good Ranchers ham, and Danielle’s “I’ve fallen twice in two days” saga. Then they dig into the deeper side: What is Christmas really about? How do you transition from “Santa brings the gifts” to teaching your kids about generosity, Jesus, and doing good for others without expecting anything in return?If you’re a parent wrestling with when (and how) to talk to your kids about Santa, or you just love peeking behind the reality-TV curtain of the Busby family’s real life, this one’s for you.Poncho Outdoors – Description BlurbFor the man who doesn’t ask for much but deserves the best, get him Poncho Outdoors.

• EP 59 - The Truth OutDaughtered Never Showed About Our Marriage

  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.
