Is it true that beautiful women are lonely women? There are so many women who became mothers and somewhere along the way, that spark dimmed.

“Beautiful women are often lonely women.” This sentence hit me like a ton of bricks the first time I heard it. It struck me deeply. Because I see it. I’ve felt it. There are so many brilliant, radiant, beautiful women who became mothers, and somewhere along the way, that spark, that light, that “beautiful womanness” dimmed.

Not because we don’t love our children. Not because we regret our choices. But because life becomes logistics. Days become a series of to-do lists. Nights are spent soothing little cries, folding laundry, managing homework, juggling work, and chasing dreams on scraps of sleep and cold coffee. Somewhere in the chaos, the joyful, sensual, magnetic part of us—our spark—gets shoved into the closet.

So yes, lonely women are real. And not just the kind of loneliness that comes from being physically alone. It’s the loneliness of feeling unseen, of not recognizing yourself in the mirror, of wondering if the woman who used to dance, laugh, and flirt still exists.

Here’s the truth: she’s still there. She’s just buried under the mental load of motherhood and the myths that tell us we have to choose between being a “good mom” and being a woman who exudes joy, sensuality, and life.

Lonely women in motherhood

If you’re nodding your head, you’re not alone. I’ve had thousands of conversations with moms through BossMom, and one theme always rises to the surface: somewhere between diapers and Zoom calls, women stop feeling beautiful. Not hot, not Instagram-filtered perfect—but truly, radiantly, joyfully beautiful. The kind of beauty that transcends age, size, and status. The kind of beauty that comes from within.

What happens instead is that many women, especially moms, start to become lonely women. They feel like they have to tuck away their essence. Our culture has conditioned us to believe that once you become a mother, you have to let go of the other parts of yourself. Sensuality, joy, flirtation, creativity—those things don’t belong in the PTA or at soccer practice, right?

Wrong. So very wrong.

Your sensual, powerful, joyful self doesn’t die in motherhood. She’s waiting to be re-invited. And the first step to getting your spark back after motherhood is believing that she’s allowed to come back. That you are allowed to be whole. Not just a caretaker, but a creator, a lover, a dreamer, a woman.

Reclaiming Your Spark if you feel like a lonely woman

Something that stayed with me from a recent conversation on the BossMom podcast with Zan Perrion—a man known for his deep, poetic celebration of women, not to conquer or objectify, but to understand and uplift.

He shared something so profound: beautiful women—not just the hot ones, but the deeply radiant, soulful ones—are often lonely women. Why? Because they want to be seen, and instead they get labeled. Put into boxes. Or even worse, ignored once life takes over.

And when we, as women, stop allowing ourselves to feel seen—when we shut off that energy—we also shut off our magnetism.

Getting Your Spark Back After Motherhood

This isn’t about lipstick and lashes (though if those things make you feel good, rock them). This is about being seen. First by yourself, then by the world. This is about reclaiming the parts of you that you tucked away because they didn’t feel “appropriate” anymore.

Here’s what getting your spark back can look like:

• Relearning What Feels Good for YOU
  Sensuality is not just sexual. It’s about being in touch with your senses. What makes you feel joyful, alive, and radiant? Is it music? Movement? Getting outside? Touch? Paint? Laughter? Reintroduce those into your life, even in small ways.
• Stop Normalizing the Logistics of Life
  You are not just the calendar keeper and the snack provider. You are a whole woman. Lonely women often fall into a trap of invisibility. Start reclaiming that truth with small moments of magic in your day—whether it’s dancing in the kitchen, reading poetry, or saying no to something that drains you.
• Bring Intimacy Back Into the Mundane
  Want to feel sexy while making school lunches? Then say so. Ask for what you want. Speak up to your partner. Make space for playful touches, for flirty smiles, for connection beyond logistics.
• Surround Yourself with People Who See You
  Real friendship and partnership require being seen and celebrated. If you’re in relationships where you feel invisible, that’s a red flag. Lonely women are often women who feel unacknowledged. Not everything is fixable, but it is speakable. And awareness is the first step to change.
• Let Your Business Be a Catalyst
  One of the unexpected gifts of running your own business is that it forces you to find your voice again. It asks you to show up. To get visible. And when you do, you start to rediscover the parts of yourself you thought were long gone.

You Are Not Alone (I know, Ironic Since This Was All About Lonely Women)

I want you to hear this loud and clear: you are not alone in your loneliness and that you do have a choice.

A choice to believe that your spark matters. That your joy matters. That feeling beautiful and magnetic and desired isn’t frivolous—it’s essential.

Not just for you, but for the family that watches you lead with love.

Let’s stop being lonely women, normalizing numbness, stop celebrating burnout, and start normalizing beauty, passion, sensuality, and being a whole, integrated woman—even as a mom.

Because we’re not just raising babies. We’re raising ourselves too.

And I want you to go swift and far, dear BossMom. Because you are radiant. You are still beautiful. And it’s time to get that spark back.
