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?
