Lindsay Lohan says her chaotic past is helping her raise her son ‘in a different direction’

Lindsay Lohan has traded her bottle service-fueled youth for health and balance, with the former wild child stepping into full zen guru mode as she navigates motherhood and adult life.

The “Mean Girls” star took center stage for a panel at the Wellness Oasis at Reserve Miami Seaplane, where she opened up about how the chaos of her early years in the spotlight is helping shape her new life as mom to two-year-old son Luai.

“The experiences I’ve gone through in my life I can now share that with my son so he knows a different way,” she told the crowd. “I’m so grateful for that and the knowledge that I’ve gained through all the stuff I’ve gone through in my past. It’s so nice I can now guide him in a different direction.”

When it comes to motherhood, Lohan says she is loving “every single moment knowing you can share your life with another person, that you’ve given life to this whole person, and they get to see the world with such freedom.” 

“When you look into your child’s eyes and they look back at you. It’s a serious moment. You have to really take in that second. It’s this whole world of wonder,” she said.

Lohan’s wellness playbook includes keeping a gratitude journal and doing pilates.

Now that she is acting again, appearing in movies like “Freakier Friday,” structure has become key.

“When you’re in it it’s a machine, especially in Hollywood,” she explained. “You get this constant adrenaline that when it shuts down, you kind of don’t know what to do with yourself. You have to know how to ease yourself back into your normal life, your normal routine. So maintaining the routines that I have when I am not working, I have to have them when I am working. That structure needs to stay because that’s what is right for me.”

Lohan doesn’t just want to be a good role model for her son, she is thinking about her fans and wants to be a “good role model.” 

“Now that I am acting again, younger kids are seeing my films,” she said. “I want to be a good person for them to look up to.”  

She is keeping things zen by tuning out outside noise, and looking inward.

“We pay more attention to the judgement we think we are getting,” she admitted. “That doesnt need to exist. If you know who you are, all the other nonsense fades away. You can just be truly yourself and it takes time, it takes work. If we don’t work on ourselves, what are we living to do? Don’t we want to evolve for ourselves to share that and share some sort of message to other people? There’s a bigger purpose to everything.”
