I Talk To Myself Sometimes

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.

Tevin Campbell’s I’m Ready: The Softness, the Surrender, and the Safety We Craved

When Tevin Campbell sang “I’m Ready to love you forever…”, some of us were too young to even know what that kind of readiness meant. It was 1993 — we were teens feeling butterflies, not the weight of real commitment.

But now, listening in our 40s, “I’m Ready” sounds like something deeper — an anthem for emotional availability, softness, and learning how to trust love again after heartbreak.

In this episode of I Talk To Myself Sometimes, I sit with Tevin’s timeless ballad and unpack what readiness for love truly feels like when you’ve lived a little — when you’ve healed, forgiven, and decided to love without losing yourself.

In this episode:

• What “I’m Ready” meant to us as teens discovering love for the first time

• How it lands now as grown folks learning to love with awareness

• The softness and emotional maturity Tevin brought to R&B at just 16

• Reflections on vulnerability, patience, and emotional safety in love

• Personal stories of being ready — and times when we really weren’t

If you’ve ever played this song on repeat trying to remember what safe love feels like — this conversation is for you.
