    1. Toxic Colleagues: How to Protect Your Sanity, Reclaim Your Power, and Know When It’s Time to Walk

    Welcome to How to Hustle — the brand new stream of the Mind Path UAE podcast dedicated to all things work, ambition, and navigating the behavioural madness of modern workplaces. I’m Vishakha Abbi — Behaviour Strategist and founder of Mind Path UAE — and this show is where we leave behind the vague advice and start making sense of human behaviour at work, so you can hustle smart, not just hard. This episode is for anyone who’s ever dreaded going into the office, not because of the workload, but because of that one toxic colleague. Not the boss. The co-worker. The one who somehow manages to sabotage, manipulate, undermine, or just make everything feel... heavier. I’ve been there. I once had a toxic colleague who made every single day unbearable. Even though my manager tried to support me, it eventually became too much — and I had to walk away. It was one of the hardest decisions I’ve made, but it turned out to be the best one. That choice took me to Dubai and gave birth to Mind Path. In today’s episode, I’ll share: Why toxic colleagues are more than just annoying — they affect your brain, body, and behaviour
 What science says about toxic workplace dynamics
 5 behaviour-based strategies to protect yourself and take back control
 How to know when it’s time to leave — and how to leave without losing yourself
 You’ll also hear how Mind Path supports professionals and companies to shift workplace culture from chaos to clarity using the PATHWAYS framework. 🧠 If you’re navigating a toxic workplace, this is your signal to stop normalising dysfunction. There’s another way — and you don’t have to do it alone. — 👥 Want support?
