Chat Off The Mat - For Women Ready To Rise
What happens when the practices we explore on the mat begin to change the way we live our lives?
That is where Chat Off The Mat begins.
Hosted by Rose Wippich — Energy alchemist and author of Empress Rising: Own Your Energy, Trust Your Wisdom, and Rewrite the Rules of Aging — Chat Off The Mat is a space for meaningful conversations about wellness, energy, personal transformation, and the wisdom that comes with lived experience.
Rose speaks with authors, practitioners, experts, thought leaders, and inspiring women whose work and stories offer new ways of thinking about how we care for ourselves, navigate change, and create a life that feels genuinely our own.
The conversations may explore movement, Qigong, yoga, energy, spirituality, relationships, creativity, health, aging, purpose, resilience, or personal transformation. But beneath every topic is a deeper question:
How do we become more fully ourselves in the next chapter of our lives?
This isn't about following someone else's formula.
It's about becoming curious about what your own body, energy, intuition, and experience are telling you.
Because wisdom isn't something we simply acquire.
It's something we learn to trust.
And the conversation doesn't end when we step off the mat.
It begins there.
