Anne Phung Nguyen

My name is Anne Phung Nguyen and I am an Vietnamese American entrepreneur residing in gorgeous Orange County California with my wonderful fianc JP and my happy-go-lucky Dad Henry. My followers are mostly on my Instagram page, @annephung. This is where I share my tale of highs, lows, and everything in between. In 1990, my family relocated to America. At the age of 1 and 1/4 I was accepted into my parents. With the opportunity to have a better life I was determined to try the best I could to please them and determined to achieve my goals. My mind could see the path I wanted to take for life. Attend college, and get a degree. Wed. Buy a house. Have kids. While I believed this was the ideal definition of the ideal life, reality had other plans. It was 2013 when I discovered that I didn't like working in my job as a corporate employee. Status and money did make me feel happy. I felt like I was wasting time for a paycheck. While navigating my way towards a new job, I realized that I was meant to become a personal trainer. I loved exercise, I loved being social, and I love helping others. My business started in 2014 and I'm celebrating seven years of growth in the year 2021. Being a Asian woman in the industry, we are among the few of us. Within the field of coaching I would like to be a positive influence by providing quality training to help others become more healthy and happy. Furthermore, I try to motivate others to follow the goals they have set for themselves so that they can achieve what they wish to do. As my career started to flourish, I experienced one of the greatest losses in my life, my mother's death. Her eight-year battle was won. battle with Scleroderma and now rests in Heaven and is with me in my mind and heart always. There is a lot we can learn from our experiences, though we may not be able to spot it in the moment. Her passing has changed my life in a variety of ways. I believe her death gave me the opportunity to begin a new chapter. Her death occurred at the age of 87 on Tet/Lunar New Year Day. It was the day she decided to begin her new life. I was given a second chance to live a happy and fulfilled life. Now into my 30's I am alive and conscious I truly feel like I'm living my life today and not merely existing like I was in my past. In sharing the tale of my life, it is with the intention that people can relate to my thoughts and feelings. In order to feel that they're not the only ones. It is also a sign of genuine love. Therapy is necessary and is not abnormal. In the end, your wellness is your greatest wealth. I pray that you live your life to its fullest and to die with no regrets, as death is the sole thing promised to us in our life.
