About This Podcast
Narcissism At Work is the essential podcast for anyone who has felt like their boss or colleague was gaslighting them, their HR team protected the problem, or their workplace felt more like a mind game than a job. Hosted by award-winning social impact entrepreneur Leyya Sattar and clinical psychologist Dr. Daksha Hirani, this series pulls back the curtain on toxic workplace behaviours driven by narcissistic abuse. From manipulation and control to blame-shifting and burnout, we unpack the behaviours that thrive in toxic cultures and show you how to break free.
Each episode combines expert insight with real-life stories to help you spot the red flags, set better boundaries, and rebuild your sense of self. Whether you’re stuck in a toxic team or recovering from a narcissistic workplace, Narcissism At Work gives you the clarity, language, and tools to call it out and take your power back.
Honest, empowering, and grounded in real expertise, this podcast cuts through the buzzwords to expose the subtle tactics narcissists use to climb, and how you can rise above them.
