I’ve heard the definitions of it being “energy transferred per charge”, “potential difference”, and “the difference between the electrons in the positive and negative terminals of a battery” but I still don’t really understand some of these definitions, and can’t really wrap my head around what exactly is it.
I also don’t really get how it is the thing that can “power up” a circuit (I might have misunderstood this part” and how the definitions above can be the same thing

Imagine voltage as the “push” or “force” that makes electricity move through a wire, kind of like how a pump pushes water through a hose. Voltage is the strength of the push that helps electricity move.
Battery = Water Pump: Think of a battery like a pump for electricity. Just like how a pump pushes water, the battery pushes electricity through the wires.
Electricity = Water**:** Electricity is like water that flows through a hose (which would be the wire). The more the pump pushes, the faster the water flows.
