Our Story
You're Not Stuck, You're Holding Back
The Pilbara Women in Business Network (PWBN) was created by Dr Sam Casey and Tess Jasmine with one clear goal: to support women in the Pilbara to move past the patterns that keep them stuck, take courageous steps in their business, and grow into a way of working and living that actually feels right for them.
This isn't just about business skills. It's about the internal work that often gets overlooked, the self-doubt, the fear that shows up when things start to go well, and the ways we can unknowingly hold ourselves back when we're on the edge of something more.
PWBN is a space where women can build their business and themselves at the same time. Through practical tools, real-life experience, and honest conversations, we focus on what actually drives growth: how you think, how you respond to challenges, and how you support each other along the way, especially in the unique reality of running a business in regional Western Australia.
"When women support each other, incredible things happen."
What We Offer
Three Ways We Show Up
Co-Creation Catch Ups
Regular, free gatherings where women in the Pilbara come together to share what's actually going on in their business and their life. No agenda, no performance. Just honest conversation, practical support, and the kind of connection that makes the hard parts feel less isolating.

Our conferences are built around the conversations women in business actually need to have. Expect real speakers, real stories, and content that challenges the way you think about yourself and your work, not just your strategy.
