If you are new to Conscious Me or you have stumbled upon this site, there are a few things that have changed. I’ve revamped the site and moved it to a new location, you can now find me here at Being KT where I’ll have the same great content, more freebies and now that I’m a fully certified health coach I’ll be running workshops, courses and some one-on-one coaching. I’ll see you there x

Brownout, is a term which is used to describe part of the life stage of an electrical power outage and is the stage before a black out. Put into simple terms, if you consider burnout like the flu, then brownout is like the common cold – they both have similar symptoms but brownout is the less vicious. You still go to work, but your heart just isn’t in it. You still talk to friends and family but you start to retreat …
