You can discuss YOUR life with anyone without violating HIPAA.
If the workplace rule is not to socialize you are breaking company policy.

What you do off the clock on your time is your Business unless you are being sexually involved with the clients or staff! Other then that your fine!

HIPAA covers the revelation of medical treatment and diagnosis info about a patient without permission. So I don't see where HIPAA is involved. As noted, however corporate policy may be at issue, even if it is on your own time.
Do you have the permission in writing?
