About Me

I’m Glen Pankhurst, creator of The Aligned Path Podcast and the intuitive alignment coaching you’ve seen on the homepage.

My work is simple: I help you spot and release the deep patterns that have been running your life, potentially since childhood – the ones you can’t quite see, but definitely feel.

If you’ve been doing “all the work” and still feel stuck, blocked, or like life just doesn’t move the way it should, this page is for you. Here I’m going to share more of my story, how trauma shapes our patterns, and how our work together can start to shift things.

My Story

I grew up in an environment shaped by trauma.
From a young age, I learned to survive by reading the room, scanning for danger, and shrinking parts of myself to stay safe.

For years, that early conditioning quietly ran my life:

I shut down around relationships and love
I played small with money and career
I lived in a constant state of waiting for something to go wrong

On the outside, I could look confident and capable.
Inside, I was wired for survival – always braced for the next impact.

Alongside that, I noticed something else: people who felt stuck, shut down, or overwhelmed would naturally gravitate towards me. I’d hear their words and feel the pattern underneath. I’d reflect it back, gently but honestly, and something would click for them. They’d suddenly see what they’d been living inside for years.

I’ve been doing that my whole life – first with my family, then with friends, and now with clients all over the world.

Over time, I did deep work on my own history and patterns: releasing long-running trauma imprints, loosening old survival defaults, and learning how to align with something deeper and steadier within me.

That lived experience now shapes everything I do. I don’t teach this from theory. I teach it from the inside.

How Trauma Shapes Your Life (Often Without You Seeing It)

Trauma isn’t just the obvious, dramatic events.

It can be any moment – or series of moments – where you felt unsafe, unseen, shamed, rejected, or abandoned. Especially when it happens early in life, or happens more than once.

Those experiences lay down survival patterns like:

Expecting things to go wrong, even when they’re going well
Waiting for “the other shoe to drop”
Looking for a villain in every situation
Shutting down around love, money, or success
Never truly relaxing, even when there’s nothing “wrong” right now

At first, these patterns are your mind’s way of protecting you.
They help you survive. They make sense.

But over time, if they’re never questioned or released, they become the lens you see everything through. You can be decades away from the original events and still feel like you’re living inside them.

So you do all the “right” things – therapy, coaching, manifestation practices, mindset work – and still feel blocked. That’s not failure. That’s trauma patterns quietly running the show.

When Old Stories Take the Wheel

Here’s how I see it:

In the beginning, painful experiences write stories in your nervous system – stories about what people are like, what you’re allowed to have, what’s safe and what isn’t.

If those stories get repeated often enough, they stop feeling like stories and start feeling like facts. They quietly grab the wheel and steer your life from the background.

Those story-level patterns sound like:

“This is just the kind of person I am.”
“People like me don’t get more than this.”
“Somehow it always turns out this way.”

They’re so close to you that you rarely see them directly.
You just see the patterns they create:

Good things beginning, then slipping away
The same arguments, the same breakups, the same jobs in different clothing
Every step forward followed by a slide back to the old familiar place

You can’t rewrite a story you don’t realize you’re still telling.

This is why so many people who are smart, self-aware, and spiritually switched-on can still feel trapped – they’ve updated their ideas, but the old stories are still quietly driving.

This is the level of patterning I’m here to help you work with.

How We Work Together

Our time together is simple, conversational, and trauma-aware.

You show up exactly as you are.
I listen deeply – to your words, your energy, your history, and the story underneath the story.

In a session, I draw on:

Intuitive insight
Pattern recognition
Emotional and energetic guidance
Law of Attraction principles
My own lived experience of healing long-running trauma patterns

This work doesn’t just change your thoughts on the surface – it goes to the deeper rules your mind and body learned from trauma.

Together, we:

Trace the area where you feel blocked (love, money, career, self-worth, or life in general) back to the patterns beneath it
Name the long-held beliefs and patterns that have been running the show beneath the surface
Soften the survival charge and loosen the grip of “this is just how it is”
Begin creating new inner defaults that feel safer, kinder, and more aligned with who you really are

You leave sessions with:

A clearer map of what has actually been running your life
A sense of relief that you’re not stuck forever – you’ve been patterned, and patterns can shift
Practical ways to work with your energy, focus, and nervous system between sessions
A more compassionate view of yourself and your story

Is This Work for You?

This work is for you if:

You feel like you’ve “done the work” but something still hasn’t shifted
You keep repeating the same patterns in love, money, or career
You feel blocked, shut down, or strangely numb in areas where you say you want more
You suspect earlier experiences or trauma are still shaping you, even if you can’t fully explain how
You’re ready to be lovingly, honestly shown what you haven’t been able to see on your own

You don’t need to have the “worst” story for this to matter.
If something marked you and you haven’t felt the same since – that’s enough.

Two Ways to Begin

Listen to The Aligned Path Podcast

If you want to start gently, at your own pace, the podcast is a powerful place to begin.

I share real stories from my journey, trauma-aware perspectives on patterns and blocks, and simple daily rhythms – like the 17-minute morning, evening walks, sound baths, and dreamwork – that slowly shift your baseline.

You can use the episodes to soften your patterns, feel less alone, and start to experience alignment with who you really are, in tangible ways.

If you’re ready for direct support, 1:1 sessions allow us to dive into your specific patterns.

We’ll focus on the areas where you feel most blocked, map out the deep down stories and survival rules underneath, and begin shifting both the story and the energy in real time.

This is for you if you’re ready to move beyond understanding and start experiencing change in how you feel, respond, and attract.
