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.

“Every Weekend Wrecks Me”
You are not failing because of your diet. You are failing because you live two different lives.
Weekday you tracks everything. Weekend you pretends it never happened. You are stuck in a pattern where progress and peace only exist Monday through Thursday.
In this episode, Dillon addresses the weekend identity crisis that can sabotage your goals. He breaks down the hidden narratives behind Friday-to-Sunday behavior and offers a new way to rewire your life so that your results are not conditional.
🧠 What You Will Learn:
- Why your weekend self keeps winning and how to stop it
- The difference between rest and relapse
- How to build flexibility into your plan without blowing it up
- Why integration is the real goal and not perfect compliance
✅ Apply This Right Now:
- Plan one social meal each weekend with intention
- Use Friday check-ins to cast vision for who you are becoming
- Anchor yourself to internal cues like peace and pride instead of chasing macros
