Ida Lundgren, model and daughter of one of Hollywood’s most iconic actors, Dolph Lundgren, opens up about the break-in that shook her family, her father’s cancer battle, healing from trauma, and coming out on the other side stronger.
From moving between Marbella, LA, and the world of fashion runways, to navigating fear, family turmoil, and finding safety within herself, Ida’s story is all about emotional strength, quiet resilience, and learning to stand on her own.
Over the last decade, she’s worked as a professional model, lived between continents, and grown up in the public eye — all while processing experiences most people never see.
In this episode, she shares:
- The full story of the Marbella home invasion — and how she took charge in a moment of fear.
- How the experience stayed in her nervous system, and shaped how she reacts to fear today.
- What it was like growing up in the spotlight, and how it affected her relationships and boundaries.
- The day her father told her he had cancer — and how their bond deepened in the process.
- What healing looks like for her now — and how she’s building a life on her own terms.
