Episode Synopsis

We know it’s coming...that moment when we become caretakers for our aging parents. There’s no roadmap for the emotional, physical, and spiritual toll it takes.
In this moving episode of UnLost Cause, Mark Steven Porro shares his unexpected journey. He was living a carefree life in LA as an actor, designer, and entrepreneur when he dropped everything to care for his 89-year-old mother.
What unfolds is a beautifully vulnerable and often humorous story about unconditional love, loss, and what really matters when time is short. In the process, Mark discovered that saving his mom may have saved him too.
📘 His memoir, A Cup of Tea on the Commode, captures the joy and heartbreak of their final years together. And today, he brings that same honesty and humanity to this conversation.
