0:00.0	What up my homie? I'm Lisa Bilu and this is Women of Impad. Now I and so many of my girlfriends
0:08.0	and women that I know are obsessed with understanding men. Now whether that you're in a beautiful
0:14.0	relationship and you just want to understand them more or you just keep getting toxic men in your
0:18.8	life that end up costing you your peace, your confidence and
0:22.0	your sanity all at once. And so I love diving into why men do what they do and understanding
