More Than Reality with Adam and Danielle

In this episode of More Than Reality, we’re talking about the fight that wasn’t really about the fight.What started as a simple scheduling miscommunication turned into something bigger — and it made us ask: why do hard seasons hit marriage the way they do?

We open up about:

• Fighting about… fighting

• Work-from-home misunderstandings

• Danielle’s upcoming knee surgery and what that means for our family • Parenting girls through emotional seasons

• Why hard seasons can either divide you… or refine you

• And how our faith has carried us through seasons that could have broken us

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your spouse, misunderstood over something small, or stuck in a hard season — this one’s for you.

Marriage isn’t about avoiding hard seasons. It’s about learning what they reveal.

Episode 70 is a FULL February whirlwind: Danielle’s knee update takes a serious turn (bone-on-bone pain and a possible knee replacement), we talk the scheduling chaos of trying to fit surgery into real life, and then we pivot into Super Bowl halftime controversy + the cultural debate that followed.

And because it’s us… we somehow end up debating Valentine’s Day expectations, “sexy time,” and whether Adam is about to buy Danielle robot legs (absolutely not happening). 😂

Living life in the public eye isn’t as simple as people think.

In this episode of More Than Reality, Adam and Danielle open up about what it’s really like to share your family, marriage, and parenting journey online — especially after living under a microscope for more than a decade. From harsh comments and misunderstandings to protecting what’s sacred in their family, they talk honestly about where they draw the line, why they still choose to share, and how words online can actually hurt real people.

This episode isn’t about being parenting experts — it’s about lived experience, boundaries, faith, and learning how to do better in a world that’s quick to judge and slow to listen.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, judged, or overwhelmed by social media, this one’s for you.

Are rules helping our kids thrive—or just making everyone miserable?

In this episode of More Than Reality, Adam and Danielle Busby open up about one of the biggest parenting struggles today: are we overparenting or underparenting our kids? With six kids and two very different upbringings, they share real-life stories about rules, boundaries, discipline, and why a united marriage matters more than perfect parenting.

From navigating discipline without fear-based parenting to avoiding the “good cop / bad cop” trap, this conversation is honest, practical, and relatable for every parent trying to find the right balance.

💬 In this episode, we talk about:


Why kids don’t need perfect parents—they need consistent ones


How rules actually create safety (not control)


What happens when parents aren’t on the same page


Overparenting vs. underparenting—and how to avoid both


Why strong parenting starts with a strong marriage

If you’ve ever questioned your parenting style or felt unsure if you’re doing too much—or not enough—this episode is for you.

In this episode of More Than Reality, Adam and Danielle Busby open up about what they’re calling their 2026 reset.

From a much-needed family meeting to rethinking pace, priorities, and friendships, the Busbys share honest conversations about slowing down, protecting margin, and choosing connection in a busy season of life. Adam talks about intentionally making space for friend time, Danielle reflects on embracing a healthier rhythm, and together they reveal exciting summer travel plans that may include an extended road trip and living somewhere new for a few weeks.

They also dive into the fun side — putting Adam on the spot to identify women’s everyday products (with hilarious results) — and talk candidly about the possibility of vlogging returning as their kids begin asking to be part of the storytelling again.

This episode is a mix of laughter, transparency, faith, and practical family decision-making — perfect for parents navigating change, growth, and the tension between hustle and rest.
