Today we’d like to introduce you to Erica Lockley.
Hi Erica , please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Hey everyone! I’m thrilled to share that I launched my podcast, “Vibing With E”, on June 15, 2023.
At first, it was just a fun way for me to share my thoughts and feelings freely. But then, I realized that June is Men’s Mental Health Month, and I decided to do an episode about it. That episode really sparked something in me, and I knew that my podcast needed a purpose.
From that point on, I decided to change the focus of “Vibing’ With E”. Instead of just talking about anything , I started focusing on meaningful conversations about education and wellness. It’s been a journey from a personal outlet to something bigger, and I’m so grateful for the growth that I’ve experienced.
Today, my podcast has grown in ways that I never imagined. I have a series called “Vibing Out With Guest” where I interview people from all over the city, and I have a series called “Wellness 101 Lessons” where I share wellness topics that impacts with promoting wellness for to my listeners every last Wednesday of the month .
Each episode is intentional, healing, raw , uncut and real vibes , and I’m so excited to share it with you all.
I’m so grateful for how far this journey has come, and I can’t wait to see where it takes me next!
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It hasn’t always been a smooth ride, but I’ve always found a way to push through. Some of the biggest struggles I faced along this podcast journey came from juggling everything else in my life.
When I first started, it was summertime —I had the time and freedom to record, plan content, and build my vision. But once school started back up, especially as I began my social work experience at Morgan State University, things shifted.
I was a full-time student, working two jobs, and still trying to grow my platform. It was challenging, but I learned to balance it all—organizing my days for recording, content prep, homework, work shifts, and still carving out time for myself!
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I’m the creator and host of Vibing with E, a podcast rooted in community, healing, and education. I specialize in creating safe, meaningful conversations around topics that impact mental health, personal growth, and wellness—especially ones that aren’t talked about enough.
From my Vibing with Guest series, where I bring on guests from across the city, and to my Wellness 101 lessons, I make it a point to center realness and authenticity.
What I’m most proud of is the evolution of my platform—from something that started as a creative outlet to now being an intentional space that people truly connect with. Hearing how episodes have encouraged or inspired someone is what keeps me going.
What sets me apart is that I lead with purpose. I’m not just showing up to talk—I’m showing up to impact. My background in social work also allows me to blend professional insight with lived experiences, creating content that is both empowering and relatable.
Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
Over the next 5 to 10 years, I see my podcast expanding to an international audience.
A big shift I want to create is bringing guests from all over the world onto my platform to share their unique wellness perspectives and educate listeners about topics that aren’t often discussed.
This global reach will help create a richer, more diverse conversation around wellness.
I plan to deepen my professional connection to the work I do, strengthening the impact of my content.
The trend I see is growing both Vibing with E and Vibing with Guests on multiple levels by spreading awareness and engaging listeners worldwide.
