Hello everyone, my name is Chris and welcome to another episode of Once and Always a Fanboy. When she was first announced as the new Yellow Ranger for Power Rangers Beast Morphers at Power Morphicon, I actually ran into her by total coincidence because we were staying on the same floor at the hotel!

It’s about a brand-new chapter in her life.She’s gone from actress and superhero to author — with her new journaling book Coming Home Journal, which helps people reconnect with themselves in the most personal and mindful way.So let’s catch up and talk about everything that’s happened since the Grid Battleforce days — Fangirls and fanboys, Jacqueline Scislowski!To order your copy, go to www.ComingHomeJournal.com!00:00 Preview00:43 Intro03:06 First time practicing your morph05:10 Something unplanned that made the scene better06:16 New Zealand09:12 The moment you decided to take a break from acting12:35 Autoimmune struggles14:00 Back to school experience15:15 What lead to Coming Home Journal20:33 What is Coming Home Journal about23:02 Fangirling over25:30 What would Power Rangers be Journaling about27:21 What about self-compassion you wished you knew earlier30:13 Reconnecting with fans32:27 Final Words
