Summary

Welcome to Nobody Told Me! I’m Jan Black and I’m Laura Owens. If you’re a fan of the Full House or Fuller House television shows, then you’re very familiar with our guest on this episode, Andrea Barber. She plays the character “Kimmy Gibbler” on those shows and in doing so, she endeared herself to millions of fans around the world.

But, Andrea’s life hasn’t been all laughs. She’s struggled with depression and anxiety, among other things…and she openly writes about it in her new book, Full Circle: From Hollywood to Real Life and Back Again.
