Long Bio

Danét S. Palmer was born five minutes before her twin brother, Dirk, in Laramie, Wyoming, and grew up in Utah. She now lives a simple life in New Mexico with her artistic and geeky husband, Lar. When not writing about love, happiness, and miracles, she’s hanging out and laughing with her adult children, traveling, or lounging with a coffee and a book.

Danét is a metaphysical minister living a life of joy: coaching others to live more authentic lives, officiating wedding ceremonies and gatherings, and traveling across the globe spreading love and joy. She is the author of Coffee with the Divine: A Yummy Guide to Daily Miracles and host of “The Yummy Way Podcast.”

A daily meditator for most of her adult life, Danét wakes around 3 a.m. and spends the first few hours of each day in her yummy room—basking in the eternal nature of Divine Love and writing about it. Danét believes that, ultimately, life teaches us everything if we’re just willing to listen.

Danét writes about her experiences growing up in fear, the abuse she suffered by both the men in her life and herself, and how she decided to use those experiences to transform her life from fear to love. She has faced the truth of the beliefs that made her feel unworthy of love and is looking within to find a deeper truth. Love is what we are.

About Danét's Book

Baptized by Love

How I Found Present Joy And Never Let It Go

A powerful, loving presence I can’t quite describe pulses through me . . . clearing my mind at last . . . I am astonished by this second chance—this feeling of warm, tender, indescribable, and unconditional love permeating me.

Here, in my naked vulnerability, I think of how, just forty-eight hours before, I felt the cold steel of a barrel beneath my chin and the icy determination that I didn’t deserve to live. Rewinding the reel of those last hours chills me to the bone. How am I afforded this moment of grace, this chance to choose love over fear? How is it that love found me in the rubble of self-loathing, of shame, of abuse and abject failure? I don’t know, yet that “I don’t know” is merciful freedom. I breathe it in, dispelling the chill.

Danét’s ability to unflinchingly express her raw innermost thoughts and feelings during moments of darkness and coming into her own light provide a powerfully transforming read. This memoir is a story of forgiveness, redemption, and the restoration of self-love and abundant joy—a resounding promise that no matter the heartbreak, violence, or trauma you’ve experienced, you can use your pain to uncover a life of present joy.

Endorsements for "Baptized by Love"

In this - Danét Palmer's incredibly fascinating story - we experience the Direct Path from the finite to the Infinite. One is left with the sheer delight of sourcing one's own channel of Love. We call it God, but is It really that far away? Or is It shining forth in the narratives of our lives, closer than close? In this succinct account, we realize that we are Home at Last, in any case.

Danét’s cascade of emotions is fully experienced as she travels through life. She takes our hand and leads us through dangerous and scary paths to a transformation that only love can produce. She comes to love her life rather than hating the parts that tormented her. Her companions on the journey teach us lessons and help her mature into forgiveness and full trust in Divine love and healing. This book will uplift people that feel they have been dealt a bad hand.

I could not put this book down. Finally, a book that shows you how to be in the present moment, radically accept whatever is and develop self-compassion. The account is so compelling you don’t notice that this is a story of transformation grounded on all the tenets of mindfulness: non-judgment, non-striving, self-compassion, acceptance, patience, trust, letting go and gratitude. Danét is unrelenting in her honesty and willingness to see everything through the eyes of love no matter how hard it is in the moment. You can't help but root for her! Such a fantastic book that I believe will help many people. It is a potent guide to how to actually do the work of self-compassion, unconditional love and embracing joy wrapped in a compelling storyline.

Baptized by Love speaks to readers who are open to a fresh, loving, and purposeful approach to managing life and its (often overwhelming) challenges. Just as in her first book (Coffee With the Divine: A Yummy Guide to Daily Miracles) and her podcast (The Yummy Way), Palmer’s transparency and authenticity shine through with her signature, approachable style. Readers will find generous and practical helpings of wisdom and take away an inspired sense of joy, regardless of life’s circumstances.

In Baptized by Love, Danét Palmer recounts the harrowing story of growing up in a family that believed sparing the rod spoiled the child and subsequently how trauma and shame distorted her developing personality. Her heroic account of reclaiming herself is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
