In this episode, Denise unpacks the quiet but powerful role eye contact plays in how we connect- and disconnect- from one another. She shares real-life experiences of young adults walking through school hallways, eyes down, avoiding connection out of fear of what others might think. And how all of us have been in moments like this, where we choose to not look ourselves. It's a subtle act with a message: insecurity, disconnection, and self-protection. Denise dives into why eye contact matters, how it reflects confidence and presence, and what it says when we avoid it. Most importantly, she urges parents and mentors to model and teach this skill intentionally, reminding us that something as small as a glance can be a gateway to deeper human connection.
