Limiina – The Conscious Choice
“I want to stop guarding parts of my identity so intensely. I want to feel like I can contribute without performing”
Many people feel forced to hide who they are just to fit in at work. And it’s exhausting.
Limiina is a CBT-informed group grounding ritual designed for Third Culture Individuals (TCIs) navigating identity and belonging within workplace environments.
The project addresses the psychological tax of constant code-switching and self-filtering, behaviors that often lead TCIs to feel that belonging is conditional. Limiina shifts this dynamic from a reactive struggle to a conscious, self-defined choice. Co-designed through a cross-disciplinary partnership between TCIs, employers, and behavioral health practitioners, Limiina integrates reflective tools, such as persona cards, grounding wearables, and gratitude prompts, to facilitate shared dialogue.
By fostering mutual recognition rather than forced adaptation, Limiina allows a more authentic sense of belonging to emerge within professional spaces.
