Anne Phung Nguyen

My name is Anne Phung Nguyen and I am an Vietnamese American entrepreneur residing in stunning Orange County California with my stunning fianc JP and my happy-go-lucky Dad Henry. A majority of my followers are familiar with me from my Instagram @annephung, where I record my personal life: both lows and highs, as well as everything in between. In 1990 I moved to America with my brothers as well as my parents, when I was one and a half. If it wasn't for my parents' love of hard work and sacrifice it is likely that I would not be with you sharing my story. As I knew I could achieve a better future I set out to succeed and make my parents happy. There was a specific plan for me throughout my life. I wanted to be a the college of my choice, then get a corporate job, get married, buy a house and have kids. While I believed this was what defines success, life had different strategies. My corporate job in 2013 was a job I hated. It was a place where money and status did not give me joy. I felt I wasted my existence to get a pay check. I had a love for exercising and enjoyed being social and helping others in my journey to this path. I discovered my passion for private training. In 2014 I started my own business, and in the year, 2021, I'll be celebrating my 7th year anniversary. Few Asian women work in this area. As coach, my mission is to inspire people and help them lead a an active and healthy life through sustainable living which meet each person's wants and needs. Also, I want for others to encourage them to chase their goals and dreams in order to achieve whatever they wish to do. My professional career began to take off when I had the best satisfaction in my entire life. However, my mother passed away just when my professional career started to slow off. After a long battle for a condition called Scleroderma, she's finally resting in Heaven. I will never forget her. I will always keep her in my thoughts and in my heart. Life's lessons are often hidden from us however they are highly valuable. My mom's death changed my life in so many ways and I believe my mom gave me a second opportunity to live my life after her death. It was the Tet/Lunar New Year Day when she passed away. The opportunity was there to embark on a new journey, and I got my second shot at an enjoyable and fulfilling life. As I approach my 30s I'm feeling a sense of living and feeling alive. I'm not feeling like that I'm just a mere existence anymore. In sharing my story I would like to hope that my stories will be of interest to your own. It is my wish that my writings can aid people realize that they aren't in isolation. You have the ability to achieve any goal that you wish to accomplish. In the end, death is all we have in life I wish you a great time in living your life to the fullest and leave with no regrets.
