She's an American actress, writer, director and producer. She is known for playing the vixen vamp and roles of darker nature. McCord first gained prominence in 2007 as a seeming add lord on the effects television series Nip Tuck, which I personally loved, followed by credits on the CW and nine 00 to one 00 TNT.

Her turn as a disturbed and delusional teenager in the 2012 film Excision was widely acclaimed for her role in Excision.

Anna's recent film, 68 Kill, won the audience award at the ASX ACW, and her performance has been hailed strong, fierce and powerful and is currently filming in New York City on Starz 50 Cent's show produced power prequel, raising Kanon during her free time, Anna has contributed to various charities stating that working with charitable organizations and giving back has been her saving grace as it has taught her how to rescue herself. She is the founder of The Love Storm, a campaign which raises awareness for those victimized by human trafficking and sexualized violence. In 2009, Anna was awarded a U.S. congressional honor by the Connecticut Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, for her anti trafficking work in 2019. AnnaLynne was nominated for the best actress at Madrid's International Film Festival for her role in the Milkshake Girls, a short film about sex trafficking. In 2014, Anna revealed that she was sexually assaulted when she was 19 by a male friend.

The No More Campaign in 2018, while undergoing MDR in neurological treatment for PTSD, Ana has limited memories of her years of childhood abuse resurfaced. She has since become an advocate for profound treatment and the remarkable transformation to which it has led her to be as intense speaker and advocate and activist and meditation leader. And it continues to engage audiences at colleges, events and private engagements with her transformative tools and candid outlook on sexualized violence, domestic abuse, human trafficking and slavery, which touches seven billion people, as well as obviously mental slavery.

Elizabeth Molina: [00:03:32] So there is no coincidence, guys, why Anna and I came together. We were supposed to do the podcast a couple of months ago, and I had some emergencies, and she was so nice to reschedule. We rescheduled twice, I believe, and it was about working out a movement because I was just so adamant about, oh, my God, I need to release this podcast. They need to be all the ten categories and then I can do other kinds of interviews. And then I realized that was just not working out. So we started talking about trauma and we started talking about trafficking, violence, domestic violence, just all of these things that are happening that we're not really giving a voice to. So we thought that this message was stronger. And obviously we're going to talk about a lot of things. You guys have to just stay tune in here. We we had an amazing conversation and you definitely have to watch if you're able to that video portion of this so you can see our faces and see what's happening in the background and you get to see her beautiful. So I'm going to leave you guys to it and I'm going to introduce our guest. Hello. Welcome to the podcast. I'm so excited to finally get you on. How are you doing, AnnaLynne?

AnnaLynne McCord: [00:04:33] I'm good. How are you?

Elizabeth Molina: [00:04:35] I'm good. I'm excited. As you can tell you guys, this is an audio and video podcast, so you're going to be able to watch us and see all of our faces. Mine. I look a little orange today, but that's OK. And you look beautiful as always. So I want to before I like let you talk, I want to just preface this like I was so excited to get you on the podcast and. You were so gracious enough to reschedule, I had something come up and you were so sweet, you're like, it's OK, life happens, like we'll make it work. And I think it happens for a reason. Everything happens for a reason, I don't think. And that podcast would have been about working out and meditation and which is great. They're great tools. And it's part of my beauty circle where I talk about movement and, you know, and being one with your body and meditating. And I was like, it's going to be great. She's this beautiful person inside and out and she's going to talk about it. And she has experiences that have brought her here. But today, we're actually going to detour from that original concept. If you're OK with it.

AnnaLynne McCord: [00:05:42] Absolutely.

Elizabeth Molina: [00:05:43] About things that are. In my humble opinion, just more important. And you know, this is going to air after the date that we're going to talk about, but it's still things are still happening around the world. So before we get to that, I just kind of want to get to know a little bit more about you. We know that you are a well-known actress like your. Your credentials are pages long. You're stunning. And you know you're pretty famous. Right. So let's get into this just a little bit. How did you get into this business? Tell us, like, how you got started into it. What made you want to become an actress?

AnnaLynne McCord: [00:06:27] Well, there's the story that I always tell when I'm asked this question. And then there's the story that perhaps is more appropriate to the shifts that we're both making and this podcast experience. I could give you the easy. I was nine years old. I dreamed of being an actress. I grew up in a trailer park, and it was never going to happen. But then I made it happen. And voila, here I am, which is lovely and sounds great and fits the stereotype of, you know, stereotypical horae Cinderella story that we all know and love. And I am grateful for all aspects of that part. But it is a story. And this thing about stories is. There are lovely things to hear and read about, but who are you really and why are you really here matters more to me. So since we're doing what matters more on this episode, I without knowing it in my nine year old conscious mind, but certainly knowing in my spirit consciousness, I had a little mission I was embarking upon at nine years old, and I thought being an actress was the way to get me there. And I'm so grateful that I wasn't wrong, because it is it created a remarkable platform for me. But the mission that I am on that I came to planet Earth to accomplish is.

AnnaLynne McCord: [00:07:48] For less about the nine year old children like me that were dreaming to be an actor and more about the nine year old children like me that were experiencing sexual abuse and experiencing marginalization, experiencing poverty, I kept all the boxes. I am here on this planet now because that little nine year old inspired me to stick around. I was suicidal. I was self harming. I was depressed. I was anxious. I would not be here if it hadn't been for the deeper meaning of of why my spirit consciousness knew I was here and my nine year old self was on this nothing. Because she she had the things that she wanted me to do that I'm only now just beginning to to realize. And so I dreamed of being an actress. That was the top layer of the story. And I did. I graduated from high school at 15 years old. I was homeschooled my entire education. So I never went to a normal school. And as a result of that, I was able to take the reins and get in control of my own education and graduate early, graduated with honors, all the things that make everybody in the world go, yeah. You're doing such a great job, I think. Have so congratulations.

AnnaLynne McCord: [00:09:12] Like the world's smallest violin, the the emphasis that we put on education in college and the right schools is like, I want to shoot myself in the face. Like everybody's missing all of everything while they're so focused on my child. Going to an Ivy League school like that makes me feel good about yourself in your circles at church. And I'm so glad for you. And also, wherever you find joy, please find it. So you raise the vibration of this very low vibrational frequency that's in our world right now, but also really that that's your biggest focus. How about who is your child is a human being? Do you even know? Who are they? Who? Why did they come here? Why did they come here? Who are they? Of the spirit consciousness. There's a little essence inside of that beautiful little body that you keep telling them to cut their hair and wear the right clothes and make mommy and daddy look good, because we want to talk about you in our circles. So we feel better about ourselves because we're trying to pretend like we're not getting old and. Oh, well, we are because age happened, bitches. It's like it's just I'm a maybe you caught me on a cynical moment, but I'm just like I'm so ove...
