đź’¬ When a Son Becomes the Caregiver

This June 25th episode of Salty Ginger Talk, we sit down with Mark Steven Porro, author of the award-winning, Amazon best-selling memoir A Cup of Tea on the Commode — a hilarious and touching account of what happened when he swapped his bachelor lifestyle to become a full-time caregiver… to his 90-year-old mother.

Sharp-tongued, guilt-tripping, and unforgettable, his mom gave him the challenge of a lifetime — and through it all, Mark found unexpected joy, purpose, and transformation.

With 15 literary awards under his belt and thousands of readers inspired, Mark shares why more men should step into caregiving, and how love, laughter, and a little humility can turn even the hardest moments into something meaningful.

📚 This one’s for anyone navigating eldercare, parent-child dynamics, or just trying to do the right thing—with heart.
