TW: mentions of bodily functions
In this episode, I sit down with Mark Porro, author of A Cup of Tea on the Commode, to talk about his experience giving up his bachelor Lifestyle to care for his mother during her final months.
Mark shares the raw, unfiltered reality of stepping into the role of caregiver with no experience outside of a sense of humor.
This conversation is for anyone who has ever found themselves exhausted, overwhelmed, or quietly wondering if they’re doing any of this “right.” (Spoiler: there is no perfect way to do this.)
Mark brings honesty, vulnerability, and a surprising amount of wit to a topic that can feel incredibly heavy. His story is a reminder that even in the messiest, most human moments, there can be connection, meaning, and even a little laughter.
