Forks
Alexis Hood & Amie Plourde
30 episodes
1 month ago



Forks is a podcast about what happens when life doesn’t go as planned — and how we find our way forward.


🎧 New here? Start with our intro episode: on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.


Each week, longtime friends and hosts Alexis Hood and Amie Plourde sit down with people who’ve faced tough situations: mental health struggles, addiction, incarceration, divorce, job loss, grief, identity shifts — and chose to build something honest and meaningful in the aftermath.


Whether you’re standing at your own crossroads or simply curious about how others rebuilt their lives and navigated life, you’ll find stories of resilience, reinvention, and raw humanity.


Real people. Real pivots. The moments that ask: how the fork did I get here?

Dana Felske: Single Mom by Choice, Entrepreneur by Vision

What does it take to walk away from a stable career, start a business with your dad, and then choose motherhood on your own terms?


In this moving and empowering episode, Dana Felske shares her extraordinary journey—from leaving the banking world to co-founding FutureBook Printing, and later, becoming a single mom by choice. With honesty and clarity, Dana reveals the emotional highs and hard decisions behind both life-changing forks.


From the challenges of building a business with a parent to navigating fertility clinics, donor selection, and parenting solo, Dana’s story is a testament to vision, courage, and the power of choosing your own path—even when it’s unconventional.


Listen to hear:

  • Why Dana left her corporate banking job to launch a startup with her father
  • How she made the decision to become a single mother by choice
  • What the donor selection process really looks like—and what happened when she met him
  • The unexpected sibling connections her daughter now has
  • How Dana balances running a company with raising a daughter on her own
