Sometimes the only way to see it clearly… is to say it out loud. I Talk To Myself Sometimes is where Antoinette Arrington unpacks the life that shaped her — and talks through the woman she’s still becoming. Each episode is sparked by the nostalgic soundtrack of the 90s, revisiting the songs that carried us through first loves, heartbreaks, and grown woman lessons we didn’t even know we were learning. This podcast is for anyone who finds themselves lost in thought, processing life out loud, or replaying old songs with brand new understanding. Through single-sided conversations that feel intimate and unfiltered, Antoinette invites you to reflect, laugh, and maybe heal a little — one track and one musing at a time. If you grew up on 90s RnB and hip-hop, if you’ve ever caught yourself having “that talk” in your head, or if you just need a moment of honesty and nostalgia, this space is for you.

This sensual 90s R&B classic captured the kind of chemistry that feels magnetic—the pull toward someone that’s undeniable, even when everything else isn’t quite right. In this episode of *I Talk To Myself Sometimes*, Antoinette Arrington explores how this intimate hit reveals the difference between attraction and compatibility, the self-awareness it takes to remember someone fondly without regret, and the gift of holding space for what was good without needing it to have been forever.
