Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen. Hello! I'm Anne Phung Nguyen. A Vietnamese American entrepreneur who lives with her wonderful husband JP and her family in Orange County California. Henry is a happy, go-lucky dad. I am most well-known through my Instagram page, @annephung. Here I tell my life story. The highs, the lows and all in between. My family moved to America. When I was of one quarter I was accepted into my parents. So that they could give their children an opportunity to live a prosperous future, I focused on my goals and worked hard in order to reach it. I believed that my future would unfold a certain way: graduate from college, get an employment opportunity in the corporate world, then be married, and then start a family. That was my ideal of what success would look like. But life had other ideas. The job I held in 2013 was a job I hated. Status and money did not bring me joy. I felt I wasted my existence to get a pay check. The year 2013 was when I realized that my passion was working out. I also enjoyed having fun and being able to aid others. On the path towards this new direction in life, I started to find personal training. The business I started in 2014. I am celebrating my seventh birthday this year. Few Asian women are employed in the industry of fashion. As a coach, my goal is to motivate people to live a healthy and happy life by creating viable lifestyles that are suited to the individual's goals and needs. Additionally, I want to encourage individuals to follow their dreams and do all they wish to in life. My professional career began to take off when I experienced the greatest happiness of my life. But, my mom died just as my career began to take off. Following an 8-year battle for a condition called Scleroderma, she's at peace in Heaven. I will never forget her and always keep her in my thoughts and in my heart. Even if you can't see it at first, life can be a bit elusive in providing us with what we truly need. It was my mother's sudden death that changed me for good. In my opinion, it gave me an opportunity to live my the next stage of my life. Her death occurred on Tet/Lunar New Year Day. This was her moment to enter her next life. I got my second chance at living an enjoyable and fulfilling life. At the age of 30, I have a sense of living and being alive. I don't feel like I just exist anymore. The purpose of telling my story is to let you know that you're not the only one. I want you to be aware that love exists and that a therapy session can be regular. Your health is truly your greatest asset. I wish you to live your life to its fullest and to die with no regrets as dying is the only thing that is promised to all of us during our lives.
