This isn't just another self-help project.
It's a systematic approach to waking up from autopilot and living intentionally.
Most people sleepwalk through life. Not because they're lazy or unmotivated. But because they're waiting for permission that's never coming.
Permission to want more. Permission to change. Permission to live differently than they were told to.
hanker.life exists to give you that permission. More accurately, to help you realise you already have it.
Everyone deserves to live without regret. To embrace both the beautiful and brutal parts of life. To give themselves a chance. This is about waking up to what's possible and doing something about it.
No fluff. No motivation porn. Just frameworks that work, questions that force honesty, and the courage to act when it's uncomfortable.
I started building hanker.life publicly in June 2025. No overnight success story. No fake numbers. Just consistent action and transparent documentation.
Started posting daily on X (Twitter), sharing raw thoughts and uncomfortable truths
Established 3-4 weekly posts on LinkedIn, building community and testing frameworks
Launched website and the 7-Day Breakthrough Challenge
Building Phase 2: Commitment frameworks and identity evolution tools
Phase 3: Transformation programmes including W.A.K.E. & T.R.I.L. Methods
hanker.life is for people who:
→ Are tired of living on autopilot but don't know where to start
→ Have been stuck in the same patterns for years
→ Want real change, not just temporary motivation
→ Are willing to face uncomfortable truths
→ Are ready to take action even when it's hard
This isn't for people looking for quick fixes or magic pills. Real transformation takes work. It's uncomfortable. But it's possible.
These are the non-negotiables that guide everything at hanker.life:
No sugar-coating. No fake positivity. Just uncomfortable truths delivered with care.
Knowledge means nothing without implementation. Every framework is designed to be used, not just understood.
Change isn't random. It follows patterns. We break it down into clear phases you can navigate.
Total transparency. You see the wins, the failures, the entire journey. No fake guru nonsense.
No 30-day transformations. Real change is built slowly, intentionally, and made to last.
This isn't me talking at you. It's us figuring this out together. Your feedback shapes everything.
I'm Mikolaj (Mick) Tarwid—the person building hanker.life.
I spent years sleepwalking through life, doing what I thought I was supposed to do. Following the script. Waiting for permission to want more.
Then I had a realisation: The permission was never coming. Because I already had it.
I started this project in June 2025 as a way to document my own journey of waking up and to help others do the same. No fancy credentials. No overnight success story. Just someone a few steps ahead, building the path as I walk it.
My turning point came when I realised: There are 177 countries, 7 continents, 8 billion people, and I'm supposed to spend my life in one spot doing one thing for forty years? That's absurd.
I'm building hanker.life to be the resource I wish I'd had when I was stuck. The frameworks, the hard questions, the systematic approach to real change.
This is my life's work. And I'm doing it in public, sharing everything as I go.
I read and respond to every message. Whether you have questions, want to share your journey, or just need to talk, reach out.
