The Daily Mag Show – A Mother, A Hiker, An Adventurer, Margaret Chew

Is it ever too late to start over?

For many of us, there’s a quiet voice that says, “I’ve missed my chance.” That some dreams belong to our younger selves, and that the time to begin has long passed.

Margaret Chew is living proof that it doesn’t have to be that way.

She only discovered hiking at the age of 49. What started as a new adventure soon became a lifelong passion, one that has taken her across some of the world’s most breathtaking mountain ranges and eventually to the ultimate challenge: Mount Everest.

But if you ask Margaret, this journey has never been about conquering a mountain.

It’s about discovering purpose. Finding strength through life’s most difficult moments. Choosing to keep moving forward, even when the path ahead feels heavy and uncertain. And aptly through her campaign, Every Woman Has Her Everest, she’s encouraging women everywhere to believe that whatever challenge they’re facing, they already have what it takes to overcome it.

MAG had the honour of having a heartfelt conversation with Margaret as she opened up about her remarkable journey, what the mountains have taught her, the personal grief that has shaped her, and why she believes that it’s never too late to begin a new chapter.
