Back to Now is a space to come back to the present moment.
I’m Leighamae, and this podcast grew out of my own journey of constantly looking ahead—waiting for life to feel better, easier, or more complete… and realizing I was missing the life I was already in.
Here, I share simple shifts, honest reflections, and gentle reminders to help you step out of the future and into now.
Not perfectly. Just one moment at a time.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re not where you “should” be yet… this space is for you.
Because your life isn’t waiting for you somewhere else.
It’s already here.
This episode isn’t about fantasy or fiction. It’s about me — and maybe about you, too. If you’ve ever felt stuck or caught up in obligations, I hope this reflection on choosing joy will give you something to carry with you.

When the Isles Burned
Before Elderspire rose, there were five proud isles. And five rulers too blind to see their people starving.
Through the eyes of a weary merchant, we witness the slow unravelling of trade and trust—how greed turned neighbours into enemies, and pride plunged the Five Isles into war.
But one night, a tower of light rose from the sea… and with it, a promise that the world could be different.

Beneath the Dying Sun
In the scorched lands of Ravair, a father and daughter cling to life through drought and famine. The earth is cracked, the wells are dry, and the city elders have turned their backs on the villages beyond their walls. But one evening, a faint glow appears on the horizon—and with it, a promise.
A tender tale of survival, loss, and the first scent of rain.

The Night the Shadows Stilled
In the fog-choked streets of Nyxmaris, a family hides from the restless shadows that slip loose each night—feral remnants of a war that has drained the isle of hope. But when a light blooms far across the bay, the whispers fall silent. For the first time in months, even the shadows are still.
A haunting story of fear, family, and the moment the world began to change.

The Light Over Ice
On the frozen coast of Frostholm, a mother and her three children cling to survival during the final winter of the Five Isles War. With the sea frozen solid and no word from their conscripted father, hope feels as distant as warmth. But one night, a strange light begins to pulse beneath the ice—far out across the ocean. And each night, it grows stronger.
This is the story of a family who watched the world begin to change…
and the moment Elderspire rose.
A tale of quiet resilience, and the light that comes when the world has nothing left to burn.

Ash at the Gate
In the scorched city of Velgar, an aging flame-watcher guards the southern gate in silence, haunted by a fire he started twenty years ago, and a girl no one remembers. But Emberath’s flame remembers everything. And when a figure made of ash begins appearing night after night, Daren must choose: confess the truth he buried… or be consumed by it.
A story of guilt, grief, and the kind of magic that never forgets.
