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 Know What to Do… But I’m Not Doing It”
This episode is for the chronic overthinkers, the planners who never pull the trigger, and the clients who know exactly what works, but still won’t do it.
Dillon breaks down the emotional gap between knowledge and execution, and why “I already know what to do” is the biggest lie holding people back from results.
This isn’t about macros, cardio, or willpower. It’s about identity, fear, and the quiet comfort of inaction. If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “I just need to get back to doing what I know works”, this one will hit home.
🧠 What You’ll Learn:
- Why knowing what to do isn’t the problem, it’s doing it consistently
- The hidden emotional safety in procrastination and half-effort
- How shame disguises itself as logic when we “wait to start fresh”
- The identity breakdown that happens when behavior doesn’t match belief
✅ Apply This Right Now:
- Choose one thing you know you should be doing but aren’t
- Ask yourself what fear you’re avoiding by not doing it
- Show up for 7 days, not perfectly, but honestly, and rebuild trust with yourself
