The Art of the Yes | Lydia Fenet on Fear, Failure, and Going After What You Want

What does it really take to move past fear and go after what you want?

In this episode of A Splash More, Hayley sits down with bestselling author and auctioneer Lydia Fenet for a candid conversation about fear, failure, and the mindset required to ask for more and go after what you actually want.

Lydia has spent her career in rooms where the stakes are high and the answer isn’t always guaranteed. Through that experience, she’s learned something most people spend years trying to avoid: rejection is part of the process — and the faster you’re willing to face it, the faster you move forward.

Together, they break down what it looks like to build resilience in real time — from learning how to ask for more, to separating your worth from the outcome, to understanding that confidence isn’t something you wait for… it’s something you build through action.

They also explore the pressure many women feel to get it “right” the first time — and how that pressure often keeps them from starting at all.

This conversation is a reminder that success isn’t about avoiding failure. It’s about becoming someone who knows how to move through it.

Because the people who hear yes aren’t the ones who avoid failure — they’re the ones who got good at it.
