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.

"I Ghost / Avoid When I Mess Up"
We’ve all done it. Missed a check-in. Had a weekend spiral. Told ourselves, “I’ll get back on track, then I’ll show up.” But that silence? It’s not discipline, it’s shame dressed as strategy.
In this episode, Dillon explains what happens when you ghost your coach and your own transformation. Because hiding doesn't protect your progress, it protects your old story.
If you only feel worthy when you’re crushing it, you’ll disappear every time life gets hard. But real change means being seen, especially when you’re struggling.
