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.

52: From Performing to Embodying Confidence: How to Truly Feel Your Worth
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever thought, “I know I’m capable, but I just don’t feel confident”? Or when people celebrate your success, you secretly wonder if they’re even talking about you?
I’ve been there too. For years, I looked confident on the outside—leading teams, sitting in boardrooms, climbing the corporate ladder—while inside I was second-guessing myself, downplaying my strengths, and fearing visibility.
In this episode, I open up about my own journey from performing confidence to embodying confidence—and the identity shift that changed everything. You’ll hear:
- The hidden cost of chasing achievement and external validation.
- Why so many high-achieving women don’t feel successful, even when they are.
- The exact tool I used to ground myself in who I truly am and rewire my self-worth from the inside out.
This isn’t about proving anymore—it’s about being. It’s about feeling your worth in your bones, walking into any room with grounded confidence, and living from the truth that you are already enough.
If this resonates, I’d love for you to tune in. And if you’re ready to experience this transformation for yourself, you’ll also hear how to connect with me for a free consultation.
✨ You don’t just have to look confident. You deserve to feel it.
