Actress Praya Lundberg: White Lotus Star on Family, Self-Love & Compassion
In this special Confessions at the Cabana — Woman on Top episode, Thai-Swedish actress, model, and activist Praya Lundberg opens up about the lessons that shaped her journey from international runways to Hollywood screens. Known for her role in HBO’s White Lotus and her humanitarian work as a former UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, Praya reveals the deeper values that guide her life.
She shares why she now prioritizes family over work, how her rescue dogs gave her unconditional love and healing, and why it’s important to normalize conversations about the hormonal depression many women experience before their period. With honesty and warmth, Praya reflects on finding compassion — not only for others, but also for herself.
In this episode, Praya discusses:
Growing up Thai-Swedish and navigating two cultures
Choosing family over fame and career
How her rescue dogs “rescued” her in return
Women’s health, hormonal cycles, and compassion
Her journey as a model, White Lotus actress, and humanitarian
This inspiring conversation reminds us that behind the spotlight and achievements, true power comes from love, compassion, and authenticity.
