The Badass Leader: Helping High-Achieving Women Lead with Calm, Clarity, and Deep Self-Trust
Hosted by executive coach and former Fortune 500 leader Coco Duan, this podcast explores what it truly takes to become a badass leader—someone who leads with calm, clarity, courage, and deep self-trust.
Many high-achieving women are already badass.
They just don’t feel like one.
Because the Good Girl conditioning that helped them succeed is still running the show—driving overwork, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and constant pressure to prove.
Through this podcast, Coco helps you unlearn those patterns so you can stop performing and start leading from your real power.
Each episode offers practical tools and insights on topics such as:
• Regulate your nervous system to create internal safety and expand your capacity to handle pressure
• Unlearn Good Girl conditioning (play safe, please, and prove)
• Reclaim your voice, boundaries, and sense of self
• Realign how you lead—so you can show up calm, clear, and deeply self-trusting
With 20+ years of corporate leadership experience and deep personal transformation, Coco has helped women around the world step into the leaders they already are.
A Badass Leader.

9: Transforming Your Inner Critic: How to Rewrite the Belief That’s Been Holding You Back
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Please listen to Part 1 of the Gremlin work - 8: What's Your Gremlin Message?
In this episode, we’ll continue diving into the Gremlin work— transforming the limiting belief that "I’m not good enough" into an empowering truth that "I am good enough." This method is broken down into five transformative steps:
- Acknowledging: Identify your Gremlin—the limiting belief that holds you back. By bringing this hidden message to light, you begin to strip away its power over you.
- Integrating: Understand that your Gremlin once served a purpose, protecting you from hurt or failure. But now, it’s outdated and no longer fits who you are today.
- Releasing: Let go of the old belief and give your Gremlin a new job. Instead of limiting you, it can now encourage and support your growth.
- Shifting to an Empowering Belief: Replace the false message with the truth—“I am enough”—and find real-life evidence that supports your new belief.
- Taking Aligned Actions: Reinforce your new belief by acting on it. Each small step aligned with your new truth strengthens your confidence and rewires your mindset.

The script to say to Gremlin:
“I thank you, honor you, and embrace you.. And you are not needed to hold me back from your goal..."
"Since I no longer need you to protect me from….., I would like you to, instead, use your energy to do Gremlin’s new job."
Imagine your gremlin saying back to you, “ I’d love to. I’m only here to help.”
