Trè Anne Bartlett spent her career as the expert in other people's crises. Then a 10 pound mass in her colon, a permanent ileostomy, and a 5% survival prognosis collapsed everything she had built. The fixer became the patient. In this episode she walks Robin through the full systemic reconstruction that followed, defines what she means by psychological capital, and tells leaders what to protect first when life does not go according to plan.
Episode #226 of the Localization Fireside Chat.
Trè Anne Bartlett spent years as the expert. Clinical social worker, crisis interventionist, the person other people called when their systems were collapsing. Then her own system collapsed. A 10 pound mass in her colon. A permanent ileostomy. A 5% survival prognosis. The fixer became the patient.
What came next was not recovery in the usual sense. It was a full systemic reconstruction of body, mind, emotional regulation, identity, and finances. Out of that came the work she does today. A private strategic advisory at the intersection of psychology, behavior, and wealth, helping high performing leaders protect the assets most people never think to audit. Attention. Judgment. Psychological capital.
In this conversation we cover the moment the diagnosis landed, what it means to rebuild an identity from zero, why she calls her work psychological capital instead of mindset or mental health, the Mental Wealth audit she runs for founders and executives, and what every leader should protect first when life does not go according to plan.
