Common Grounds Women's Business Network

### ☕ Common Grounds Roma

Come for the coffee, stay for the connections.

The Roma Coffee Meetup is all about bringing together the incredible women of Roma, Central Queensland, and the wider Maranoa Region — creating space for connection, conversation, and genuine community.

Hosted by the fabulous Liz Fleming at ROYAL on Ninety-Nine, this relaxed and welcoming gathering is a chance for women in business to come together, share real stories, and support one another. There’s no pressure, no pitching, and no expectations — just meaningful conversation, heartfelt connection, and a great cup of coffee.

Whether you’re just starting out, growing your business, or have years of experience behind you, this is a space where you’ll feel seen, supported, and encouraged.

### What You Can Look Forward To

✨ Genuine, supportive conversations (no pitches, no pressure)
✨ Real stories from women at every stage of business
✨ Encouragement, connection, and practical support from your local community
✨ A relaxed, friendly atmosphere filled with laughter, learning, and great coffee ☕

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply craving connection with women who understand the journey, this is your moment to pause, reset, and feel supported.

### Common Grounds New Farm

Come for the coffee, stay for the connections.

This is not your average networking event.
Common Grounds New Farm is where women in business come to connect, laugh, and grow, without the awkward pitches or salesy vibes. Whether you’re a start-up superstar, a seasoned business owner, or a solo operator craving real conversation, this is your excuse to step away from the laptop and into community.

Jo Stevens & the crew from Common Grounds meet once a month at the stunning Mary Mae’s Café in New Farm, overlooking the Brisbane River — the perfect backdrop for big ideas, honest chats, and that “I needed this” feeling. The vibe is relaxed, the view is dreamy, and the connections? Absolute gold.

### What to Expect

✨ Genuine conversations (no pressure, no pitching)
✨ Meaningful connections with like-minded women
✨ Shared experiences, lightbulb moments, and plenty of laughs
✨ A supportive, welcoming space where you can just be you
✨ Great coffee to fuel your business brain ☕
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply craving connection with women who get it, this is your mid-morning reset.

Come solo or bring your biz bestie. Either way, you’ll leave feeling energised, inspired, and reminded that you don’t have to do business alone.
See you for coffee. 💛
