“I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.”

Simplified Meaning:
When two people truly connect, it’s like sharing an invisible bond that makes both of them feel important and understood. Imagine you have a friend who always listens to you without interrupting and appreciates your thoughts. This friend also trusts you to share their own feelings without fear of being judged. You both support each other through good times and bad, making the relationship a source of comfort and strength for both of you. This kind of connection makes you feel energized and valued because you know someone sees you, hears you, and accepts you just the way you are. Having such a bond with someone can help you feel more confident and resilient in life.
