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 21: Cassandra Kleefman on Inner Work, Identity & Healing
In this episode, I sit down with Cassandra, psycholgist and competitor for a raw conversation about healing, identity, and navigating growth while still in the trenches.
We talk about what it really looks like to lead clients while walking through your own pain, how to separate your worth from your performance, and why the best coaches and practitioners are often the ones still doing the work themselves.
This one’s not just about reps and sets. It’s about resilience, boundaries, belief, and becoming someone you're proud of, without faking it for Instagram.
