The Rebuild
The Rebuild with Dillon Phaneuf
At some point, we all have to rebuild.
Sometimes it’s after everything falls apart, loss, failure, identity collapse.
Sometimes, life is good on paper, but something’s still missing. Either way, the work is the same: look inward, take ownership, and start again, brick by brick.
This show is about that process.
I’ve been coaching full-time for nearly 15 years. I’ve walked people through physical transformation, emotional healing, relapse, addiction, growth, success, and pain that doesn’t show up in check-ins. And right now, I’m walking through my rebuild.
This podcast is where I bring the rawness of that to the surface. You’ll hear conversations with people building something real, solo episodes where I process what I’m learning in real time, and moments that hopefully remind you you’re not alone.
Whether you’re at your best and want to go higher or on the bathroom floor trying to figure out what’s next, this space is for you.
Because even when it feels like checkmate, there’s always a better move.

Episode 20: From Sick to Strong W/ Anna Morrish
Anna Morrish is a national-level wellness competitor, a respected online coach, and the head of #TeamAnna, but behind the titles is a woman who’s had to fight for every inch of progress, physically and emotionally.
In this episode, Dillon sits down with Anna for a raw, unfiltered conversation about auto immune disease, coaching women with real integrity, and what it’s like to be told you’re “too muscular to be natural.” They also dive into the pressure of social media, the reality of leading women in a space full of noise, and how Anna is preparing for her next chapter, both in fitness and in life as she heads toward marriage in September.
In this episode:
→ How disease changed Anna’s training, mindset, and body image
→ What it feels like to be accused of being a fake natty, and why she keeps showing up anyway
→ Her take on what women actually need from coaches in 2025
→ The emotional cost of performance, visibility, and pressure
→ What’s coming next in her life beyond macros and muscle
This one’s honest, layered, and built for anyone who’s tired of faking it and ready to lead from the middle of the mess.
