Anne Phung Nguyen

My name is Anne Phung Nguyen and I am a Vietnamese American entrepreneur residing in beautiful Orange County California with my incredible fiance JP and extremely happy Dad Henry. I am most well-known through my Instagram page, @annephung. This is where I share my tale of highs, lows and everything in-between. In 1990 I moved to America along with my brother and parents when I turned one and a half. If it wasn't for my parents' devotion to hard work and sacrifice and sacrifice, I wouldn't be with you sharing my journey. Knowing I had an opportunity for a better life, I worked hard to impress them and had tunnel vision in the direction of the success. My life was set out for me to study at university, land an employment in a company as well as marry and then buy the house. I figured that was the ultimate definition of success. however, life has other plans to show me the meaning of success. The money and the status of my position didn't make me feel happy. I felt as if I had wasted my time for a paycheck. The year 2013 was when I realized that my passion was fitness. I also liked getting out and about to aid other people. On the path towards this direction change in my life, I discovered personal training. This year I'll be celebrating the 7th year anniversary of my business. In 2014, I launched my own small business. As a Asian female in this industry we are among the few of us. My goal is to become a catalyst in the industry to provide quality coaching to empower individuals to be healthier and happier person by establishing a sustainable lifestyle cater to their individual goals and needs. Additionally, I would like people to feel empowered to follow their dreams and achieve anything they desire in life. While my career was taking off, I lost my mother. This loss is the most devastating of them all. In Heaven she is now in peace in peace after a long battle with the disease known as Scleroderma. However, I carry my Mom with me and dream of her every day. Even if you can't see it at first, life can be a bit elusive in providing us with what we truly need. My mother's sudden death that changed me for good. It was a true blessing. I was given a second chance to live my the next stage of my life. She passed away in the morning of Tet/Lunar New Year Day it was the perfect time to start her new life, and also for me to have my second chance to live a happy, fulfilled and meaningful life. In my 30's I am alive and conscious I truly feel that I live my life now instead of merely surviving as I did in the past. As I share the story of my life, it is in the hope that others are able to relate to my thoughts and feelings. It is to know that they are not alone. And that there is real love. Additionally, therapy is necessary and is not abnormal. In the end, your wellness is your greatest wealth. I pray to live your life fully and that your death be without regrets, since that's the only thing you can count on for the rest of our lives.
