Lori Loughlin is ready to get back to work, according to a new report.
After serving two months in prison for her role in the college admissions scandal, the 56-year-old actress apparently wants to return to her showbiz roots and has reportedly started talking about "getting her life back."
"[Lori] would love to start working again one day, but she is scared people won't work with her," a source told Entertainment Tonight. The insider also claimed that the mom of two has already "had her team put out feelers."
Loughlin was released from the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Dublin, Calif., on Dec. 28.

According to the source, Loughlin's daughters -- Olivia Jade, 21, and Isabella Rose, 22 -- made her welcome back home "perfect."
"Her girls put together a special homecoming with flowers, welcome home decorations and her favorite foods," the source described. "She was emotionally overwhelmed by how much she missed them and still has to remind herself that if anything good came out of all this it's their closeness and renewed faith in their tightknit family."
Still, the source noted that Loughlin is "counting the days until her husband is home." Mossimo Giannulli continues to serve his five-month prison sentence at a federal facility in Lompoc, Calif.
"Lori spent her first week [at home] appreciating every minute of settling in and spending time with her girls. Now that she is safe at home and getting back into her routine, she is finding it very difficult to not to worry about Mossimo," the insider said.

Loughlin's release means she's one step closer to putting the nationwide scandal behind her, although it's important to note her sentence isn't officially complete now that she's been released.
