Disgust isn’t just about spoiled milk or bad smells—it’s a powerful emotional boundary-setter. In this episode of Men: A Work In Progress, Mike and Kyler take a deeper look at disgust, as introduced in Inside Out, and explore how it shows up in everyday life: from gut reactions to behaviors, people, or even parts of ourselves we’d rather avoid.

They discuss how disgust is wired to protect us—but can also limit us when it’s left unchecked. From moments of judgment to shame-fueled avoidance, Mike and Kyler get honest about what disgust has taught them, and how learning to face it can lead to better self-awareness, clearer values, and stronger boundaries.

You’ll walk away with new language for those “ugh” moments—and maybe even a bit more compassion for the parts of yourself you’ve been quick to reject.
