Hello, all! Great episode here for you today thanks to a couple awesome listener questions. If you haven't yet gotten a copy of my 500 Journal Prompts book, it makes a perfect little stocking stuffer. Check it out!

Here are the questions from this episode:

• My sister is depressed, even though nothing is wrong with her life and I'm frustrated by it. What can I do?
• Due to my addiction to methamphetamine and heroin, I feel like I don't deserve to get better. Should I feel this way?
