In this episode of Wait, You Do What?, host Mel Loy explores a hobby that is definitely a far cry from the corporate world. 
Meet Karen (or Kaz), an executive assistant and mother of three who recently discovered that she is a total natural with a rifle.  
What started as a mission to ensure firearm safety in her home turned into an "exhilarating and thrilling" obsession. Karen breaks down the stereotypes of the shooting range, revealing it’s less about "action movie" chaos and more about "yoga-like" focus and OCD-friendly precision. 
In this episode, we’re talking:
The Accidental Sharpshooter: How a 50-year-old "lady with no real interests" found her jam.  Safety First (Always): Why Karen, a self-proclaimed stickler for rules, feels this is the safest sport out there.  The "Zen" of the Range: Forget the noise—Karen explains the breathing, the rhythm, and the "disconnecting" from the daily grind.  Chickens vs. Turkeys: A look at "Silhouettes" and why those tiny metal turkeys are the ultimate nemesis.  Blinging Out the Scope: How Karen and her friends are bringing inclusion, community, and even a little bit of "bling" to the regional Queensland shooting scene.Mel Loy is a storyteller, community enthusiast, and host of this insightful exploration into the power of individual passions. She’s dedicated to highlighting stories that connect people and inspire action.

Description

Behind the seemingly 'normal' lives of the people around us, there are often weird and wonderful double lives that we know nothing about. 
This podcast brings those stories out of the suburbs and into the light, as we explore the sometimes wacky, sometimes confusing, and often-heartwarming hobbies people have, and why they got interested in the first place.
The Queensland-based teacher who took up curling ... the suburban mum who by day is an Executive Assistant, and on weekends shoots pistols ... or the surgeon who saves lives then risks his own going basejumping ... these are just a few of the stories you'll hear, and maybe even be inspired by.
Life is short, after all, so why not do the thing that you're curious about?
Hosted by Mel Loy, a woman who knows the weird and wonderful hobby well! Aside from her 'day job' running a communications agency, Mel also has picked up a bunch of hobbies along the way, like crocheting, learning Spanish, ballet classes, and teaching group fitness and yoga.
