The “You Can’t Do That” Lie That Kills Your Potential

This Thanksgiving episode marks a turning point for Life in Northern Virginia. Cheryl shares the real story behind her evolution from real estate agent to builder, problem solver, and entrepreneur who refuses to accept limitations—especially the ones other people try to place on her.

If you’ve ever been told you can’t do that, if you’ve ever doubted your own abilities, or if you’re an entrepreneur surrounded by people who don’t see your potential, this episode will hit home. Cheryl breaks down the mindset shift that changed her life, the unexpected moment that launched her renovation and investing career, and why cutting out the “you can’t” voices might be the only way you grow.

This episode is motivation, truth-telling, and a wake-up call to anyone who knows they’re meant for more but hasn’t dared to pursue it yet.
