Produced is a long-form interview podcast show hosted by Lisa Bean, exploring what it really takes to Produce original work in the world.
We want to hear about your journey. We want to hear the biggest lessons you’ve learnt on that journey (don’t skip the long dark night of the ‘what on earth am I doing with my life’ conversation). We want to hear what truths you subscribe to, and the ones you don’t.
And we really want to know what you’ve Produced that you love, what you’re busy Producing now, and what you want to have Produced in your lifetime. This could be businesses, programmes, books, TV shows, art…if you ‘produced’ it, we’d love to talk about it!

ABOUT THE SHOW
In Produced, we explore the realities of building a business, the creative process of bringing original work to the world, the psychology of entrepreneurship, and the often messy journey between the first idea and the finished result. The conversations are thoughtful, honest and practical, with every episode designed to leave listeners with ideas they can immediately apply to their own business and creative life.

The conversations we love
We aren’t looking for polished success stories. We’re interested in the journey. We want to explore how you came back when everything seemed to be falling apart. We love to hear how you went from first uncertain draft, to final Produced outcome. We’d love insights into your mindset and process, people and ideas that influenced you, and little moments that impacted the final output.
We’d also love to talk about the projects you’re most proud of, and what you’re building next.
The tone we strike
Our tone is fun, funny, uplifting, but we don’t hide the gritty truth of what it truly takes to get something off the ground and scale. We love discussing journey. We love hearing about things that have influenced you, such as books, theories, moments in life, other entrepreneurs, artists, or work. And Lisa will always be looking for the lesson, the learning, the thing we can really draw out to help our listeners on their journey from first version to fully Produced.

Trauma Psychologist: Why Do You Keep Holding Yourself Back In Your Business?
Why do you keep holding yourself back, even when you know exactly what you want?
In this episode of PRODUCED, Lisa Bean sits down with trauma psychologist Rachel Lee to explore how trauma, anxiety and your nervous system can quietly shape the way you make decisions, take risks, build confidence and show up in business and life.
Rachel explains why past experiences can create an “echo” that affects the choices you make now, why your brain can interpret bold moves as threats, and why you do not need to feel completely calm or confident before taking action. Sometimes, you only need to feel safe enough to move forward.
We talk about:
- Why entrepreneurs talk themselves out of good ideas
- How trauma can affect confidence, risk-taking and decision-making
- The link between anxiety and your nervous system
- Why procrastination can sometimes be a form of self-protection
- How to reframe anxiety as excitement
- Why high performance can sometimes come from a need for safety or control
- How to stop asking “What’s wrong with me?” and start asking “What’s happened to me?”
- How to recover when something goes wrong in business
- Why you should stop waiting to feel completely ready
- How to take bolder action without being reckless
- Why building a margin of error can make big decisions feel safer
Rachel also shares practical ways to regulate your nervous system, understand where your fear is coming from, build confidence through action and make decisions from a calmer, more grounded place.
If you’ve ever found yourself procrastinating, overthinking, playing it safe, talking yourself out of opportunities or wondering why you feel stuck despite being ambitious, this conversation will help you understand what may actually be happening underneath it all.
