Shon opens up about his childhood, the impact of low self-esteem, his relationship with his father, and the difficult inner work that helped him move toward forgiveness and personal growth.

In this episode of the Boy Man King Podcast, Coach Crump and Chizzy have a raw and relatable conversation about one of the hardest transitions a parent can experience: learning to let go.

As their children grow into teenagers and young adults, parenting changes. The rules, schedules, and authority that worked when children were young don't necessarily work when they're older.

Coach Crump shares his experience of entering a new stage of parenting where patience, waiting, prayer, and accepting reality have become more important than trying to control every outcome.

The conversation explores a powerful question:

How do you continue to guide your children while allowing them to make their own decisions?

As children grow older, parents can offer wisdom, insight, support, and boundaries—but ultimately, young adults have their own free will and must learn from their own choices.

In this episode, Coach Crump and Chizzy discuss:

-The different stages of parenting
-Parenting teenagers and young adults
-Why parents struggle to let go of control
-The importance of patience
-Trusting the seeds you've planted
-Parenting through prayer and faith
-Giving children room to make their own decisions
-Why over-controlling children can affect their development
-Teaching responsibility and accountability
-How parents can respond when children make mistakes
-The transition from authority to guidance
-Parenting adult children
-Entitlement parenting
-Guilt parenting
-Family expectations and boundaries
-The importance of understanding your own triggers
-How faith can reduce parenting anxiety
-Why parents can't guarantee their children's choices or salvation
-Learning to support instead of dictate
-The emotional challenges of watching your children become independent

In this powerful episode of the Boy Man King Podcast, Coach Crump and Chizzy sit down with Dr. Myron Edmonds for a deeply honest conversation about what it really means to become a healed, healthy, and intentional man.

Dr. Edmonds opens up about his own journey—from growing up in a ministry-centered family and experiencing the effects of his parents' divorce, to becoming a successful pastor and leader while simultaneously struggling in his marriage, family life, and personal healing.

His story challenges a common idea of masculinity: being successful, disciplined, educated, and accomplished doesn't necessarily mean you're healed.

At one point, Dr. Edmonds realized that he had become highly successful professionally while neglecting his own soul and relationships. Reaching out to other men for help eventually created a community of accountability that helped save his marriage, ministry, and personal life.

In this episode, the conversation goes deep into:

-Why successful men can still be deeply unhealed
-Childhood trauma and how it can shape adult relationships
-The impact of divorce and family dysfunction
-Father wounds and generational cycles
-Why men need safe spaces to talk about their pain
-The difference between knowledge and transformation
-Why healing requires vulnerability and asking for help
-The importance of male friendships and accountability

His story takes a dramatic turn when a courtroom experience leads him to make a promise to God to change his life.
