Episode 85 - Branching Out: A Tree's Blueprint to Living an Electrifying Life

What if the tree in your yard is showing you how to live? In this episode of 7,000 Volts: Living an Electrified Life, host and ISA Certified Arborist LJ Tucker shares how studying trees for over 20 years taught him life lessons beyond tree work—especially the way branches always bend toward the light through phototropism. He challenges listeners to keep reaching for better relationships, health, purpose, and wisdom, warning that stopping growth is the real tragedy. LJ explains how over-pruning weakens a tree’s defenses, how storms reveal what was built before the storm, and why steady progress matters more than overnight success. He encourages “branching out,” preparing for life’s storms, and pruning away dead or damaging influences so new, stronger growth can emerge.
