45. Andrea Barber AKA Full House's Kimmy Gibbler!

Today, the Ali on the Run Show is going Gibbler! I am so excited to welcome Andrea Barber — best known as Full House's wacky next-door neighbor Kimmy Gibbler — to the show. On this episode, Andrea dishes about all things Full House — including her favorite Kimmy moment, and yes, what John Stamos is really like. She opens up about what it was like growing up in Hollywood, what happened on the Full House set when the cameras weren't rolling, and how she spent the 20 years between Full House's finale and the resurgence of the Tanner family on Netflix's spinoff Fuller House. (Spoiler: She got a college degree, a master's degree, interned at the United Nations, and had two kids. NBD.) She also shares why she hates red carpets, and gets super honest about her history with anxiety and depression, and the postpartum depression she experienced after giving birth to her daughter. Today, Andrea lives in Orange County, CA, with her two kids (ages 13 and 10), and she's a runner! She started running five years ago as a way to help manage her mental health, and she's been hooked ever since. (Raise your hand if you can relate!)
