Brace yourselves…we’ve got the rabbi and boy, does she know how to “Step Out of Line.” The woman behind it all, Alex Borstein , unbeknownst to her, was the impetus behind our podcast and the Step Out of Line movement which has inspired our Team Peri community. As a tribute to her grandmother, a Holocaust survivor and her mother, Alex dedicated her 2019 Emmy award in an acceptance speech ending in the mantra, “Step Out of Line Ladies!”. Her words were a call to action that has resonated with anyone who has ever felt like they did not fit in, much like Peri . ‘Tits Up’ everyone because this podcast is one to remember as we discuss everything from the meaning behind Susie Myerson’s keys to Alex’s on point analysis of Bridgerton.
