Summary

"I’m an open book. I have no shame about anything I have gone through or felt."

Andrea Barber — perhaps best known as Kimmy Gibbler on Full House and the Netflix revival Fuller House — is back on the Ali on the Run Show! And this time, she's a published author! Andrea's first book, Full Circle: From Hollywood to Real Life and Back Again, came out late last year, and it's a hit. (I'm not just saying this because Andrea is a friend: This book is fantastic.) Full Circle isn't a salacious Hollywood memoir or tell-all. It's real and it's honest, and in it, Andrea shares her story in a raw, visceral way. On this episode, Andrea and I catch up on what's new in her life — including why her home is filled with thousands of boxes of Girl Scout Cookies, what it was like wrapping the fifth and final season of Fuller House, and where she's at with running right now — and we talk about some of my favorite parts of the book, including her uncensored stories about depression, anxiety, and divorce.

0:00.0	This episode of The Alley on the Run Show is brought to you by Aftershocks.
0:08.4	Welcome to The Alley on the Run Show. I'm your host Alley Feller and every week I talk with
0:13.6	inspiring people who leave interesting lives on the run and beyond. While running is what
0:18.9	brings us all together on these episodes, it's about what's going on before and after the run.
0:24.2	So join me right here every Thursday to learn about the decisions people have made to get where
0:28.8	they are today and how getting sweaty has factored in. Today I'm excited to welcome Andrea
0:34.8	Barber back to The Alley on the Run Show. Andrea is of course best known for her role as Kimi Ghibler
0:41.0	on Full House and most recently on Fuller House on Netflix. She's also a new author.
0:47.2	Andrea's book Full Circle from Hollywood to Real Life and Back Again came out at the end of
0:52.7	last year and it is so good. I read the entire thing in one sitting which I don't think I've
0:58.8	ever done before and I laughed and cried. I did both a lot. I wanted to have Andrea back on the show
1:06.2	because there was so much in the book I wanted to talk about including how openly she writes about
1:11.3	postpartum anxiety and depression and I was so amazed with how she wrote about her divorce. She is a
1:17.3	classy and honest lady. I'll tell you. And of course Andrea is a runner. She's run tons of
1:24.1	half marathons. She's run several marathons and it was fun to catch up about where she's at right
1:29.2	now with running and what's up next. If you missed my first two conversations with Andrea you can go
1:35.7	way back to episode 45. That's the first time she was on the show back in 2017 and then she was
1:41.9	on again in 2018 on episode 77 when we did a live show together in San Diego. Andrea is just a
1:49.2	really great kind genuine person and I hope you enjoy our conversation.
2:00.0	Andrea I am so excited to have you back on the show. I am cradling your book in my arms. I love
2:06.5	it so much. I'm so excited to get to chat with you about everything that's in your book and so
2:11.3	much more. So thank you so much for being here. Oh Ali thank you so much for having me back on.
