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.

Daily Power Lesson #26: Why Competitiveness is Not Your Personality
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
"You're just naturally competitive."
No. You're not.
Competitiveness isn't personality—it's childhood survival.
When love depended on being "better than," your nervous system learned: Second place = rejection.
Now you're exhausted from the endless comparison game.
The shift:
Driven (internal) ≠ Competitive (external)
One brings peace. The other brings panic.
Which one runs your life?
