For Colby Lawton, a legislative aide, traveling the world meant living in the moment and enjoying life. But why did he always feel depressed when he came home? Could there be some way to have that same sense of freedom and joy at home?

In this podcast from the Hawaii Storytellers’ event, “Should I Stay Or Should I Go? Stories About Making Big Decisions And Living With The Consequences,” Lawton discovered that to answer those questions he didn’t have to look within himself, but in a very different direction.
