56. Date Nights After Dark: Finding Intimacy After Bedtime
Today we’re diving into something that doesn’t get talked about enough—keeping the spark alive when you're knee-deep in snack crumbs, sticky fingers, and endless bedtime routines.
Let’s be real—date night doesn’t exactly look like perfume and heels anymore. It looks a lot more like microwaved popcorn, pajama pants, and praying you stay awake past the first 15 minutes of a Netflix scroll. But guess what? The spark isn’t gone—it’s just napping under a pile of burp cloths and goldfish crumbs. ✨
In this episode, Date Nights After Dark, I’m sharing real-talk moments about intimacy in parenthood—from folding-laundry races (yep, that happened) to wine-fueled Netflix nights that somehow turn into watching cooking shows about food we never actually make. (Relatable, right?)
But most importantly, I’m giving you simple, doable ways to reconnect with your partner—even when you’re touched out, exhausted, and running on caffeine and chaos.

Welcome to Caffeinated Chaos, where business deals happen between diaper changes and friendships are fueled by caffeine. I'm Whitney GaN, your host, and I'm here to talk all things business parenthood, and of course keeping up with the BFFs, whether you're juggling the boardroom, the playroom, or just here for some coffee fuel chaos. We've got you covered. Get ready for real talk, laughs and a whole lot of heart as we dive into the beautiful mess that is entrepreneurship, parenthood, and everything in between. So let's embrace the chaos together. Ated, of course. Do you remember when date night meant perfume, heels, and maybe a last minute wax or shave? Yeah. Now it's starting to look more like, do we have enough time or energy to microwave popcorn and not fall asleep during the first 15 minutes of a movie? Hmm. Welcome back to Caffe Chaos, the podcast where we talk about the messy, beautiful overlap of business, babies, and being a whole human. Today we are diving into a little post bedtime magic with an episode I'm calling. Date nights after dark. Okay? Hmm. Finding intimacy after bedtime. So this is for you if you're tired, sweaty, touched out, and maybe feeling more like a snack fetching assistant than a romantic partner these days, friend, I get it, but I know that the spark is not gone and it's not gone for you either. It just happens to be napping under a pile of burp cloths and goldfish crumbs. Let's start by setting the stage. The kids are finally asleep after the longest bedtime routine known to man. Bath lotion, 17 stories, four sips of water and you're Allah stuffy animal search mission and a dramatic, but I'm not tired. You collapse on the couch, your partner looks over and there's a moment, but also you're both a little crusty. You smell faintly of sunscreen and bug spray. You've been climbed on all day and someone is definitely still sticky. That's summer Love with kids. It's not glamorous, but it's real. And under all that sweat and snack, dust is a couple that still deserves connection, romance, and intimacy. Yes. Even when you're touched out and half asleep. I totally get it. So let me paint you a very real quote, date night scenes that we've experienced here. One night we got halfway through a movie. We both fell asleep with the remote, still in my husband's hand, very romantic, right? Another time we poured wine, scrolled through Netflix or Hulu, whatever it was looking for a movie, but finally ending up watching like a food cooking show and being like, Ooh, that sounds good. My husband saying like, I'll make that for dinner one night. Did it ever happen? No. We just like lived for that food through the tv. Yeah. And one day don't judge, we had a folding laundry race. Okay. I know It turned into something that was banter and well, hey, laundry got done faster. I'll take that as a win. The truth is the version of intimacy that worked before kids might not fall into your life now with kids. And that's okay because the good news is that you can redefine how you love each other. Okay, so I'm going to share some tips that. They're pretty simple tips. I'm not a relationship guru. These are just things that have worked for me, and so maybe they'll work for you. Okay, one, pick a bedtime date night each week. Doesn't need to be fancy, it just needs to be intentional. Even if it's just 30 minutes after the kids are down. What are you guys gonna do? We like to drink wine together and talk about our days bonus points to my husband'cause he also gives me a foot rub during that time to change the setting, go outside, light a candle, have a living room, floor picnic. Sometimes changing the environment that you're in helps change your mindset. Three touch that isn't parenting. Hugs, shoulder rubs sitting close when you've been climbed on all day. A gentle, intentional touch from your partner can feel grounding instead of draining. One thing I like to do is when we are so busy doing everything else, or maybe he's like running out the door or he's doing something. I reach out and I just like give his arm a little squeeze. Not like, not like pinching him obviously, but like just a, Hey, I see you, I'm here. Especially like if he is like washing dishes, you know, I'll come up behind him and I'll just give him a little, a little grab. For Laugh Together. Watch something dumb. Laugh together. Watch a comedy show. It can be on streaming. Don't worry. Share the day's Wild Parenting moment. Laughter is intimacy, it's connection, and honestly, sometimes it works better than medicine, in my opinion. Five. Talk about something other than the kids. Remember who you were before the snacks, before all of the practices you're running to and from. Ask each other random questions. Dream, flirt. Be curious again. If intimacy feels outta reach right now, it's okay. Postpartum hormones, summer chaos. Long work days and mental exhaustion are real, but connection can start small, A shared glance, a deep breath, a spark of humor. You don't need a full night out or a steamy getaway to keep your relationship strong. And sometimes the most meaningful, intimate moments happen in the quiet span of 20 minutes after bedtime, when you choose each other every day again and again. So tonight after the kids are finally down, maybe don't turn on the TV right away. Maybe just sit close, hold hands, just be in the quiet together. Because you're still partners, still lovers, and still teammates, and even in the season of Sticky Fingers, sleepless Nights and Summer Chaos, you can still find magic after Dark. Until next time, keep the coffee Strong, the love reel, and the date nights creative. Thanks for joining me and have a wonderful time after bedtime tonight. Bye now. That's a wrap on another episode of Caffeinated Chaos. I hope you're leaving with a little more clarity, a lot more inspiration, and maybe even an extra shot of motivation. If you love today's episode, don't forget to follow us. Leave a review and share it with a friend who could use just a little chaos and caffeine in their life.
