Hi, and welcome! I’m Ansley—wife, mom, daughter, sister, friend & lifelong lover of learning.

Basically, I’m a normal person. I’m not an expert in much of anything (unless you count tickling, according to my boys). But boy oh boy, do I love to learn—about the world around us, the God who made it, & how we can thrive within it.

- Podcast interviews with interpersonal neurobiology researchers & experts? My actual jam.
- Books & other writings by theologians & bible scholars? Can’t get enough.
- The big, well-respected names in the latest, science-backed parenting & marriage therapy research? My personal heroes 😂 . Following on social, subscribe to their newsletters, love their books.

My friends (bless them!) tell me this is not typical.

I’ve heard frequently, especially the last several years & in motherhood, that I’m uniquely passionate in these areas for a “normal person.” But that I am also uniquely gifted at soaking all that “deep end” content up & then simplifying it.

Boiling it all down to a few relevant, useful takeaways is one of my favorite things to do after I learn about a new concept, especially if it feels particularly clinical & abstract—so that someone who might not listen to the lengthy podcast or read the whole book could still learn 2-3 things that are interesting & helpful.

And it turns out, I love the simplifying & sharing part as much as the learning part! And thus, Conscious Curiosity was born.

So, I’m Ansley—a normal person who simplifies expert insights for other normal people, particularly insights into relationships, faith & psychology.
