Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen is my name and I'm a Vietnamese American Entrepreneur living in Orange County California. My stunning partner JP, and my happy-go-lucky Dad Henry are also part of our families. The majority of people have come across me through my Instagram account @annephung, where I write about my experiences- my highs, lows and all in between. I immigrated in to America with my brothers and parents in the year 1990. At one and a half years young. I'm not living my life and sharing it to you, if not for the fact that my parents love hard work and sacrifice. Since I was confident that I would be a successful person, I was determined to achieve my goals and make my parents happy. I thought my life would turn out the same way as I graduated from university, be offered an executive position, be married, and then start a family. I thought that was the ultimate definition of success. Life had other plans that were to demonstrate the meaning of success. When I was in 2013, I started looking forward to going back to my work job the money and status were not what I was looking forward to- I felt like I was tossing my life on a salary when I knew I was in the right place to do more. Then, in 2013, I realized my love was exercise. Furthermore, I loved sharing my experiences with others and was always willing to give an extra helping hand to people. That led me to an entirely new direction and into the world of personal trainers. The year 2014 was the year I began my small business and this year in 2021, I'll be celebrating my 7th year anniversary. There are very few Asian women are employed in this field. It is my goal to make a difference in the industry to provide quality coaching to empower those around me to make healthier and happier by designing a sustainable lifestyle cater to the individual needs and desires. In addition, I strive to inspire others to pursue their goals and dreams to accomplish whatever they desire to achieve. While my professional life was taking off, I was struck by the worst loss of my life to dateand that was the loss of my mother. After an eight year struggle with Scleroderma, she is currently resting within Heaven. I will never forget her, and forever keep her in my thoughts and heart. While you might not see it at first, life has a funny way of giving us what we really need. Many ways, the loss of my mother changed me. I truly believe she offered me another chance to live through her demise. She passed away on Tet/Lunar New Year Day it was the perfect time to begin her new life, and also for me to receive a second chance of living the most happy, joyful and fulfilling life. At the age of 30, I'm alive and alert. I am truly aware like I'm living my life today instead of merely living like the way I did in my former. When I share my experience, I hope that my stories will be of interest to yours. I hope to help you realize that you aren't all on your own. You have the ability to achieve any goal that you wish to accomplish. Since death is the only thing there is in this world I would like you to have fun in the rest of your days and live without regrets.
