Welcome to the Been There, Babe blog—a space where life’s twists, turns, and truths come together.
Here, we’ll dive into topics that hit close to home, exploring the moments, lessons, and perspectives that shape us. Each of us sees the world through a unique lens, and this is your invitation to step into someone else’s view—or maybe see your own in a new light.
No matter what you’ve been through, someone’s been there, babe! You’re not alone.
Radical Acceptance
“Life rarely unfolds as we expect. When faced with one of my hardest challenges—navigating my daughter’s incarceration and addiction—I had to confront my own expectations and learn to accept life as it is, not as I wished it to be. It’s a lesson I’m still working on, and I invite you to explore this journey with me.”
I’m so glad you’re here!
My name is Danielle Cannon, founder of Been There, Babe. I’ve been through my share of ups and downs and maybe you have too. I’ve learned some hard lessons but I’ve also experienced some pretty amazing people, places, and miracles. I believe that everything we go through presents an opportunity to learn and grow…but it’s still hard as hell sometimes!
I’ve reached a stage of life where everything seems to be transitioning - my body, my children, my relationships, my career, and my ability to explore this great big, wonderful world. Some days, I revel in its beauty, and some days it’s the best I can do to figure out where all the pieces fit (or where I left my glasses!).
I hope we can find some connection in a world that seems so disconnected. We may not have all the answers, but maybe we can relate, and one of us can say, “YES! I’ve Been There, Babe!”.
Love, Danielle
