In this episode of Families Navigating Addiction and Recovery, I sit down with Shiva J, a somatic facilitator, certified Tantra educator, relationship coach, and founder of The Sacred Kings.

We explore a topic that touches every healing, coaching, and family dynamic: integrity, accountability, and power dynamics.

Drawing from his background in personal defense, somatic psychology, and men's work, Shiva breaks down how automatic power imbalances form whenever someone steps into a guiding role, whether as a coach, therapist, or family leader. We discuss why traditional hierarchy often fails, how restorative justice models create horizontal safety, and how embracing feedback and shadow work allows both individuals and families to build lasting, authentic trust.
