Maggie Aurocco’s IVF Journey: Strength, Transformation, and the Symbolism of Butterflies

The journey of conceiving and expanding your family is often marked by profound challenges and unexpected transformations. For Bluboho founder, Maggie Aurocco, this journey has been one of resilience, hope, and a deep connection to the symbolism of butterflies—creatures that embody change and the beauty of becoming. At Bluboho, we celebrate such stories and the jewelry that can serve as tokens of hope and transformation.

Maggie’s experience with infertility was an emotional, physical, and mental challenge that permeated every aspect of her life. "It’s hard to understand the challenge of working through fertility issues until you’ve been through it," she shared. The quest to understand the "why" behind her struggles was perhaps the most daunting. The uncertainty loomed large, often accompanied by grief and a longing for a future that felt just out of reach.

In moments of despair, surrendering became Maggie's greatest lesson. She learned to embrace the unknown, allowing herself to feel the full spectrum of emotions without the pressure to change or fix them. This journey led her to a new appreciation for the beauty of life, whether or not it aligned with her dreams of motherhood.

The Symbolism of Butterflies

Butterflies symbolize transformation, emphasizing the beauty that can arise from struggle. At Bluboho, our Butterfly Collection reflects this sentiment through carefully crafted pieces that resonate with hope and renewal.

  • The Butterfly Wing Charm serves as a gentle reminder that even the most delicate beings can undergo significant changes. Wearing this charm signifies embracing one’s journey, no matter how challenging it may be.

  • The Winged Being Ring captures the essence of freedom and transformation, encouraging the wearer to trust the process and celebrate personal growth.

  • Perhaps most poignantly, the Metamorphosis Butterfly Locket holds a special place in Maggie’s journey. The handwritten note inside symbolizes the personal stories we carry with us—tales of struggle, triumph, and everything in between. This locket transforms into a cherished keepsake, connecting the wearer to their own narrative of hope.

Maggie’s reflections resonate deeply, especially during spring—a time of renewal and growth. Just as the world awakens from winter, so too can we find strength in our own transformations. Each butterfly emerging from its chrysalis reminds us that beauty often follows struggle.

The Tree of Life Collection

Alongside the Butterfly Collection, our Tree of Life Collection beautifully encapsulates themes of growth and stability. The tree represents strength, resilience, and the interconnectedness of life, perfectly aligning with Maggie's story.

Maggie’s journey, filled with ups and downs, mirrors the complexities of life itself. She acknowledges the beauty of motherhood in her life but also recognizes that, had it not been her path, there would still be beauty in the journey of letting go. This duality is a powerful reminder that our stories are multifaceted, filled with both joy and sorrow.
