Recently I transitioned to product management from testing. But my toxic manager never let me gain real time experience as product manager and always keeps me aside.

Now I am on maternity leave and want to work on the skills needed to excel in my role as product manager once i resume my job. Please suggest what all should i do for these coming months.

Don't just learn, it's getting harder cracking into PM every 24 hours unless you start building and prototyping faster. Work on vibe coded side projects as much as possible and pick up non tech skills depending on your domain, such as, knowledge about healthcare systems if you're targetting healthtech PM roles, etc, whatever your niche is.
