Discover the Power of Tapping into Your Inner Wisdom

Overcome Life’s Challenges and Make Better Choices to Achieve Your Goals

Are you struggling with life's challenges; stress, anxiety, or lack of direction in life?

Do you feel overwhelmed with never ending bills and higher spending?

Are you looking to improve your health through changes to your diet?

If so, I can provide guidance to help you!

Hello! I am Max, a Life Guide that wants to help you in your life’s journey. Because of my professional background, I started my career working in technical roles for multinational technology companies before transitioning to leadership and management roles. Eventually, I realized that helping others made me feel fulfilled and gave me a sense of purpose. From an early age, people would come to me for advice on problems they were facing. This inspired me to help others in a more formal way.

I started studying and practicing meditation in my mid-twenties to deal with mental and physical challenges that I was facing. Since then, I incorporated meditation into my lifestyle and started my spiritual journey, which has helped me change my perspective on life.

I decided to start offering life guidance services because of the impact that the pandemic had on people’s mental wellness. Life guidance is a process in which people are guided on what they could do to resolve the challenges they are facing in their lives. My approach is not just about assisting people in achieving their goals but also about helping them find their inner wisdom and develop their own solutions.

In today’s episode I’m going to explain what’s the purpose of this channel, a little bit of my background, who am I and finally I’m going to explain how I can guide you.

Welcome to the first episode of Inner Wisdom Life Guidance. My name is Max and I am your host. In today’s episode as I mentioned before we’re going to talk about the purpose of this Channel, that’s going to be the first topic right now.

First of all, today is January 1st of 2025 and I am recording from the beautiful town of Kangar in Alberta, Canada. You know what better place to record the first episode of this show than from the Rockies. I want to wish everyone a happy year, I wish that you had an amazing 2024.

All right so what’s the purpose of this Channel? In a nutshell what I want to do is I want to help. I want to help you. What I mean by helping – I want to share knowledge and wisdom that I have gathered throughout these years and I want to see if this knowledge and this wisdom can be of assistance to you in your own life. The three core topics that we are going to talk about in this channel are Mental Health, financial wellness and mindful eating.

Now let’s talk a little bit about myself. I want to share my background so that you know who I am and how this all started. I was born and raised in Costa Rica and right now I live in Calgary, Alberta in Canada. I know they’re quite different from a weather perspective as you can see and many people ask me about that and you know it’s fine, you get used to it, you learn to enjoy it, you learn to love it. There’s always this magic about the Four Seasons that you don’t get in Costa Rica.

My professional background – I am an electronics engineer and I also have an MBA in operations management and right now I work for a multinational company where I am the director of a global IT group so I have a big responsibility let’s say.

In 2008, I think that was the year when I considered to be the beginning of my journey, of my spiritual journey. I started learning meditation and also I started to do some research on healthy eating and the reason I started doing that was because I had some health issues and I wanted to give it a shot and the results were remarkable. I’m going to talk more about it in future videos because there’s quite a bit that I can cover.

And also I started learning more, reading books and that’s also something that we’re going to do in this show, in this channel. We’re going to read a few books together throughout this year and the intention of that will be to provide you with some basic knowledge, knowledge that I have used that has transformed my life.

Basically as a result of the pandemic I saw how many people were impacted by it. It was a very challenging time for everyone. People were sick, people were dying, we had all these restrictions from the governments that really were detrimental to the mental health of the people and I remember discussing with my wife and saying “you know what, I think I can do something to help others, perhaps I can start doing something that I could support people in a more formal way” and that’s how I started thinking about this project called Inner Wisdom Life Guidance.

Okay, the last section of today’s episode is going to be how can I be of service to you, how can I help you. Now for that I want to explain first the origins of Inner Wisdom, how did I come up with that name and it happened a few years ago while I was doing breath work. We were in a breath work session and for those of you who don’t know when you do breath work what you’re basically doing is breathing in a specific way, you’re just following a specific pattern, specific cycle and when you do that you enter – well this is different for everyone, everyone is going to have a different experience but basically what happens is that you enter in this kind of a Consciousness State usually you release emotions could be related to trauma that happened to you perhaps you have Clarity.

And in my case there were two main things that happened to me. One of them was this thought about inner wisdom and how important it is for everyone to understand that you have it and you should learn how to access it, how to tap into it because that’s going to help you better cope with life and the challenges that you face in life.

Why life guidance? I already explained inner wisdom so why life guidance? Okay to me life guidance or guidance itself you could say is similar to coaching but I consider it to be a less structured and maybe less formal way of helping you. When you work with a life coach it depends but usually what they like to do is they like to sell you this program. There are perhaps some of them, again not all of them, but they might be kind of pushy and they want you to buy this package that is going to be thousands of dollars and it’s going to last for a long time and you’re going to build this plan and you’re going to have goals and the coach is going to help you get there right.

I don’t find that to be ideal. I wanted something that was again more flexible. You know what I want is to have a conversation with me, let’s talk about the challenges that you have and let’s see how you can resolve them and this is again something very important about guidance. I’m helping you, I’m guiding you finding the answers to the challenges that you’re facing. You’re the one who’s going to find those Solutions. I am going to provide my guidance, my recommendations. I’m not going to tell you what to do, you will decide by yourself and that’s the core difference of guidance and that’s what I want to do.

To learn more about what I have explained about the services that I offer and you can also read more about my background you can go to my website IWlifeguidance.com. You can book a free appointment, we can have a free call or if you want you can go ahead and book one of the full sessions. There’s 60 minutes and 90 minute sessions. I recommend for the first sessions to be 90 minutes long, that’s where we go in depth and we look at whatever it is that you’re facing and see how I can help.

To wrap up today’s episode again I want to wish everyone an excellent 2025. I wish that this year is full of wealth, health, lots of blessings to you and your families and remember to subscribe, follow this Channel and if you find that this could help someone else, these kind of videos, this kind of content, if someone could benefit from them please share with them and we’ll see each other in the next episode. Bye for now.

What clients are saying...

“ I would describe Max's guidance approach in one word as insightful...”

Sometimes ideas may overwhelm us, we just leave them to take control and we do nothing about it. Max's guidance has been critical to set a course of action to address things that have been dead weight for a long time. I've been dealing with food allergies for a couple of years; Max answered all my questions regarding starting a plant-based diet to improve my health (I am lactose intolerant and also have intestinal permeability).

He explained to me how most diseases can be treated with discipline, information, and a simplistic mindset. Max helped me to understand that everything works "the simpler, the better". This philosophy applies to the way I eat, communicate, work, and manage my finances. I have been able to live a calmer life in general terms (finance, health, interpersonal relationships, self-awareness).

I would describe Max's guidance approach in one word as "insightful". His way of analyzing situations and problems is outstanding. Where people usually see obstacles, he sees a straight path to the solution. I highly recommend Max's guidance services. I can attribute a big part of my growth and current perspective on life to Max.

“Max is an extremely wise person who always gives valuable advice...”

The first time that Max helped me with his guidance was to solve my fear of public speaking. From there, I started having more contact with my spiritual side, which not only helped me with my fear of public speaking but also found a way to treat my anxiety (and other issues) with meditation. Thanks to him, I now understand that we should not only work on improving our physical health, but also our mind needs to be taken care of and, above all else, given a break. This will help us to function properly in any situation that may arise. Max is an extremely wise person who always gives valuable advice. When you talk to him he transmits a peace that makes you feel relieved and serene.

“ I always feel recharged and inspired to take on the challenges in my life...”

Max is a great listener. He asks thoughtful questions and offers new perspectives that I might not have thought of before. This has helped me stay open-minded to new ideas and try different angles. After spending time with Max and his wife, I always feel recharged and inspired to take on the challenges in my life. I would recommend seeing Max to anyone who wants holistic and sincere guidance.

“He focuses on teaching and guiding you to best help yourself...”

Max has helped me to look at situations in a different way which, over time, has exponentially impacted my wellbeing. I've learned and developed meditation practices that have greatly improved my anxiety. Max listens so well and works with you to help you understand your own thought patterns and how to develop new ones if need be or strengthen thoughts that have a positive impact.

I've also changed my financial practices in working with Max, which has made a huge difference with how I'm managing my income and investments. He has helped me feel empowered to educate myself and for that reason I would recommend working with Max. He focuses on teaching and guiding you to best help yourself.
