How To Badass Yourself
A Journey From Being Paralyzed To A Hole-In-One Using Unwavering Positivity
The author’s journey to freedom was marked by taking the less travelled road, a path filled with twists and turns that led Melan to debunk myths and challenge her belief system from her formative years. Through this process, Melan engaged in a deep exploration of self-discovery, which unfolds in this book through the lens of her BADASS framework. This framework, rooted in hope, determination, and resilience, mirrors her own path to reclaiming her health and identity when an unfortunate paralysis occurred in 2012. While Melan’s journey was fraught with challenges, the BADASS approach became a transformative tool, guiding her to embrace a growth mindset; from “Why Me? to “Why Not Me?” that prioritizes progress over perfection. Melan gained the strength and resilience to face any obstacles that came her way, ultimately leading to a mastery in navigating life’s complexities with confidence and a profound sense of self-awareness. Melan’s story, and the principles behind it, serve as a powerful reminder that hope, grit, and resilience can light the way through even the darkest moments—leaving readers motivated to face their own challenges with courage and grace.

About the Author
Melan’s unwavering positivity, resilience and go-getter mindset, fueled with a passion for learning, has been instrumental in her achievements. After graduating from Lembaga Pendidikan Kejuruan (LPK) Tarakanita, Jakarta-Indonesia (1994), Melan secured positions at global companies including BASF Indonesia, BASF Southeast Asia, Siemens Telecommunication Project Office (STPO), and the United Nations Development Program, blending work with international exposure. Relocating to the USA in 2004, Melan earned a BSc. in Finance and Accounting from Northeastern University (2011) and an MBA in International Business from Sawyer Business School, Suffolk University (2017), and launched a new career in the financial industry at Fidelity Investments and Wolter Kluwer. Melan transformed adversity into growth through resilience and navigated the lingering pain of peripheral neuropathy and the lasting effects of paralysis by embracing golf in 2015. This pursuit blossomed into recognition, and Melan was featured in Team Titleist (2018) and achieved a hole-in-one in 2021. Melan’s golf philosophy—“The joy in golf is when you let go of your thinking, and let the clubs do the work”—reflects a life ethos of confronting challenges with focus, trust, and relentless determination. By channeling Melan’s unwavering positivity, she thrives, proving that obstacles can forge strength and grace under pressure.
