024. Forget Your Comfort Zone, Say Hi To My Disgust Zone – Where My Lowest Standards Live Happily Ever After

What if the secret to real change wasn’t motivation, but disgust? In this episode, Dave Flenagan and Zoe Hirsch explore Dr. Stef Huber’s 2025 article on how our tolerance for discomfort shapes our willingness to change.

Dr. Huber argues that people often settle for subpar situations—until the discomfort becomes unbearable. Using relatable examples, like the moment a misplaced hairbrush triggers a realization, she illustrates how disgust can push us past our comfort zones and into action.
