128. Humor, Equanimity, and Embodiment: Tools for Deeper Connection with Dr. Edmund Knighton

Welcome back to The Path with Mike Salemi! Today’s conversation is a powerful dive into the evolution of men’s work, relationships, and what it means to truly embody presence. I’m joined by Dr. Edmund Knighton, a clinical psychologist, movement expert, and the co-creator of the Be Here Human program along with Jared Pickard (past Path Podcast guest).

In this episode, Edmund and I explore the challenges and opportunities men face in today’s world—balancing strength with softness, embracing humor as a tool for resilience, and understanding how vulnerability can transform relationships. We’ll also dive into the dynamics of masculinity and femininity, how men’s groups can foster personal growth, and the power of equanimity in holding space for life’s complexities.

You’ll hear us unpack concepts like empathy, movement, and the fluid nature of time, all while staying grounded in practical tools for navigating family life, creativity, and self-mastery. If you’re curious about how men’s work is evolving, how to cultivate deeper relationships, or simply how to be more present in your daily life, this conversation is for you.
