Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen, a Vietnamese American businesswoman, lives in Orange County California. I am married to a beautiful man named JP and a frightened dad Henry. People know me best through my Instagram account @annephung. This is where I share my life story. The highs, the lows and everything in-between. It was 1990 that my family moved to America. In the age of one and a quarter I was accepted into my parents. Given the chance to live the best life possible I wanted to try my best to please them and was focused on my success. Within my head, I could see the path I wanted to take to live my life. Attend college, and graduate. Wed. Get a home. Have kids. My life that I thought I would have did not turn out to be. The year 2013 was the year I began looking forward to going back to work. job because the pay and prestige didn't bring me happiness- I felt like I was wasting my time and energy for a paycheck even though I knew I had a destiny. I had a passion for fitness and being social and helping others while I walked the new direction in my life. I found my calling in personal training. The business I started in 2014. My company is celebrating its seventh anniversary in this calendar year. It's not common to see an Asian female in the business. My goal is to be a positive influencer within the field to offer quality coaching to empower others to become a healthier and happier them by creating an environment that is sustainable and meets their personal needs and goals. Also, I'm dedicated to supporting others so that they are able to achieve their goals, pursue their dreams and live your life to the fullest. My career was beginning to flourish, I experienced one of the greatest losses in my life - my mom's passing away. To be in Heaven she now rests in peace after a long battle with the disease known as Scleroderma. However, I carry her with me and think of her daily. We can learn a lot from our experiences, though it may be difficult to recognize it right now. The death of my mother affected me greatly and I am convinced that she offered me a second chance in life. Her death occurred in the morning of Tet/Lunar New Year Day. This was her moment to enter her next life. I was given a second chance to live the life of a fulfilled and happy. Now into my 30's I feel alive and aware of the fact that I live my life now and not merely existing like I did in the past. I am sharing my experiences with you in hopes that you will resonate with my words and experiences in order to let you be aware that you're not on your own, to be aware that you are more than capable of whatever you set your mind to and that love is real, that therapy is a necessity and normal as health is the most valuable asset. I hope that you enjoy your life to the fullest and that you die without regrets because death is the sole thing that is promised to the people in our lives.
