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.

51: Trust Your Body: The Hidden Key to Confidence and Leadership
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
So many of us live from the neck up—pushing through stress, ignoring our gut feelings, and relying on logic while tuning out the signals of our body.
I know this all too well.
I once hired someone who looked perfect on paper but wasn’t the right fit. My body told me something was off, but I ignored it. That decision cost me deeply—just like the times I pushed through illness, pain, and exhaustion, telling myself I was “tough.”
In this episode, I open up about how high achievers like us become disconnected from our bodies, and the heavy costs it carries—physically, emotionally, financially, and even in our leadership.
I’ll share my own stories of ignoring my body’s wisdom, along with the science behind why reconnecting with your body is essential to building confidence, regulating your nervous system, and making better decisions.
You’ll also walk away with three simple, practical ways to begin reconnecting with your body today.
If you’ve ever felt burned out, snapped at loved ones, or doubted your intuition, this conversation will help you start trusting the deep intelligence within you—so you can lead and live with more calm, clarity, and fulfillment.
Are you ready to tune back into the wisdom of your body? Let’s dive in.
