01 - Meet Birgitte Bakke: Sound, Struggle & The Beauty of Being Human

In this special episode, we turn the microphone around and interview Birgitte, the main host of this podcast season and one of the facilitators of the Holistic Human Design Conference 2025.

 

We explore Birgitte’s deep connection to sound, her journey with Human Design, and the profound role of melancholy and struggle in her life. Birgitte shares how music and sound have been both her personal sanctuary and a transformative tool in her therapeutic work, and why embracing the full spectrum of human emotion is essential for true healing.

This conversation is a heartfelt reminder that being human isn’t about avoiding the lows, but learning to sit with them.

 

Key Takeaways:

Sound as Therapy: Birgitte explains how she discovered the power of using her voice and sound vibrations directly into the body, bypassing mental defenses and reaching deep into the nervous system.

 

Group Dynamics & Sound: Birgitte shares how group sound experiences create collective resonance, often reaching depths that individual sessions can't, and why she loves working with large groups as a triple split and MG.

 

Melancholy as Medicine: As a being with the channel of struggle and as a 6/2 profile, Birgitte shares how melancholy is a vital part of her creative and healing process and why we shouldn’t shy away from these "low frequency" emotions.

 

Life on the Roof & Coming Down: With just two months left before her Chiron return, Birgitte reflects on her time "on the roof" and the personal transformations that have prepared her to step into the role model phase.

 

The Importance of Language: We discuss how shifting from "I have to" to "I get to" changes the frequency of our daily lives, and how conscious language can be a powerful healing practice.

 

A Raw Perspective on Life & Death: With her 28-38 channel of struggle, Birgitte candidly speaks about her relationship with life, death, and finding purpose through human design and music.
