Lindsay Lohan writing life coaching book

Lindsay Lohan is writing a life coaching book.

The actress – who turns 30 on Saturday (07.02.16) – is currently working on the tome which will share her "personal experiences in life and how to overcome obstacles".

She told Vanity Fair: "I am in the process of writing a book, and I am very excited to share my personal experiences in life and how to overcome obstacles. I hope that my words will connect with those who need some guidance when [or] if they are in a tough place. I am grateful that I have a voice, which I can now feel comfortable using as a platform to let people know that we all have ups and downs in life, and we can all come up from the downs if we get in touch with our inner self and spiritual side."

Lindsay – who is engaged to Russian heir Egor Tarabasov – also revealed she wants to have children but is determined to get her movie career back on track first.

She revealed her upcoming plans as: "Making more films, writing my book, starting my charity, working with children a lot. Maybe having some of my own soon – after I get some movies done, first."

And despite many ups and downs, including arrests and rehab stints, Lindsay insisted she has no regrets.

She said: "I wouldn’t call things regrets, per se. I can’t turn back time. But if I could, I would have listened more to my mother and gone back home to New York earlier in life and chosen my friends more wisely."

Asked what advice she would give to her younger self, Lindsay said: "My mother taught me to always be humble, and that is something I live by still today, so I would say that. I would also probably say don’t go too fast. Pay attention to the people you surround yourself with and make sure they have honest intentions. Put yourself first, and just breathe. Be happy and always be grateful for the moment you have in front of you. Be here, now."
