In this engaging episode of "Fascinating Women," host Mark Laurie sits down with Maggie Lam, a woman of diverse experiences and profound insights; Maggie is a risk taker in spite of her parents teaching her compliance.  Originally from Hong Kong, Maggie shares her journey of moving to Canada, embracing new challenges, and navigating life as a solo parent. Her story is a tapestry of resilience, adventure, and personal growth, offering listeners a unique perspective on embracing change and overcoming obstacles. 

She talks about her business failures and successes and challenges of being a widowed solo parent. Lots of amusing observations about herself. Including how dance helped raise her above abuse and to embrace men again.


Maggie Lam 
Maggie believes in the power of creating one's own life. She embarked on a journey to Canada in 1991 to explore new opportunities, leaving her family in Hong Kong. Shortly after a few years, she created her consignment store and ran it for 17 years. During this time, Maggie found love and became a mother to twins in 1999. Unfortunately, her husband's battle with cancer ended, leaving her to raise her young twins and run her business without any understanding of personal insurance.

Recognizing the need for a bold change, she decided to transition from fashion to the insurance industry. Maggie is driven by a passion for helping people and adding value to their lives. She realized there was more she could contribute. In 2015, she ventured into the insurance industry, partnering with a 100-year-old company to educate people on how to get paid promptly when faced with unexpected illness or injury from day 1 . 

Today, Maggie is committed to helping individuals, families, and businesses secure the peace of mind they need the most.
