Jenna Wilson
Jenna Wilson is a sector leader with 20 years of experience in disability care, mental health, crisis accommodations, and homelessness services. As a founding member of the high-impact youth homelessness service Bridge It, Jenna is experienced in program design with strong management skills.
Jenna is also passionate about trauma-informed design and has played an instrumental role in renovating a derelict property into luxury, high-end youth accommodation, and is taking on another transformation project in 2026. Jenna is excited to bring these skills together to support single mothers into housing through The Lioness Den accommodation and The Lioness Den Intentional Communities.
Jenna is passionate about female empowerment and financial education being available to all women. A property investor herself and proud owner of three investment properties, Jenna understands firsthand the power of financial literacy and asset building in creating lasting security for women.
The Lioness Den represents Jenna's belief that safe, supportive housing combined with genuine community can empower single mothers to not just survive, but thrive. Her recovery-focused, trauma-informed approach ensures every aspect of The Lioness Den is designed with mothers' wellbeing at its heart.
A lover of nature, travel, and holistic wellness, Jenna is a devoted mother to her daughter Maia and puppy Luna. When she's not building communities or transforming properties, you'll find her exploring new places, practicing alternative therapies or socialising with her Pride of single Mumma Lionesses.

Property Coach
Jessica Case
Jess is a property professional, mentor, coach and entrepreneur who helps people build long-term wealth and stability through education, strategy and aligned partnerships. She is the Founder of The Property Growth Company, working across buyer’s advocacy and residential property sales to support informed, strategic property decisions. Jess is also the Co-Founder of BizGrowth Co., helping Australian businesses scale sustainably through smart outsourcing.
Jess’s experience across property, business and education connected her with values-aligned people, leading to the opportunity to help launch Lioness Loans, where she supports single mothers into home ownership through property, finance and coaching expertise.
Raised by a single mother who put her own dreams on hold to give her children the opportunity to build theirs, Jess witnessed firsthand the resilience and determination required to create stability without access to clear financial guidance. That experience shaped her values, introduced her to remarkable people along the way, and ultimately positioned her to help create pathways for other women to move forward with confidence.
Outside of work, Jess values health & fitness, time outdoors, holistic wellbeing and sustainable living. She enjoys running, camping, fishing and staying active. When she’s not advocating for her clients, you’ll usually find her recharging in nature, renovating or spending time in her garden with her beautiful dogs.
