Chat Off The Mat - Embody Empress Energy
Chat Off The Mat is a podcast for women in midlife and the wisdom years who are done shrinking — and ready to reclaim their energy, identity, and voice.
Hosted by Rose Wippich — author of Empress Rising, Reiki Master Teacher, and qigong and yoga instructor — the show features honest, grounded conversations with women walking the path of Remembering, Returning, and Reclaimingthe power that has always been theirs.
Each week, Rose sits down with healers, teachers, authors, and everyday Empresses to explore the modalities, mindset shifts, and lived experiences that shape how women choose, lead, and live in this chapter. From Reiki and qigong to intuition, identity, menopause, and the challenges no one warned us about — these are the conversations women in midlife have been waiting for.
This is not a self-improvement podcast. You are not broken. You are not behind. You are not too late.
Episodes explore:
- Women's empowerment and the Empress archetype in midlife
- Healing modalities — Reiki, qigong, yoga, and energy work
- Intuition, inner authority, and energy sovereignty
- Midlife transitions, menopause, and identity shifts
- Real conversations about the challenges women face after 50
- Sacred sisterhood and the circle we were never given
- Rewriting the cultural story about aging women
Midlife is not a crisis. It is a coronation. Straighten your crown.
