Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen is my name. I'm Vietnamese American Entrepreneur living in Orange County California. My wonderful fiance JP as well as my happiest Dad Henry are also part of our clan. Most people are familiar with me from my Instagram @annephung. I record my personal life: the highs, the lows and all in between. The year 1990 was the time I emigrated to America together with my parents and brother when I turned one and a half. If it wasn't for my parents' passion for perseverance and sacrifice it is likely that I would not be with you sharing my story. When I realized that I had the potential to have a brighter future and I wanted to succeed and make my parents proud. I thought my future would unfold one way or another: I'd graduate from university, be offered an employment opportunity in the corporate world, then be married, and then start an family. That was my ideal of what it would take to be successful. However, life was not so keen on my thoughts. The job I held in 2013 was something I dreaded. Money and status were not what I needed to feel happy. I felt I was living a solitary time to make a living. When I started to take steps towards my new life path I realized that personal training was the career path I was looking for. I'm a sucker of exercise and enjoy working in the company of people and am eager to help them. In this year, I am celebrating the 7th year anniversary of my business. In 2014 I began my own company. In the field of coaching it is not a lot of Asian women. In the coaching industry, I want to make a difference by offering high-quality coaching to assist others in becoming healthier and more content. It is my goal to encourage others to chase their dreams, and to lead the lives they've always dreamed of. While my career was taking the air, I lost my mother. The loss of my mother is most devastating of them all. After battling for eight years with Scleroderma, she is now resting at Heaven. I will never forget her, and continue to remember her in my mind and in my heart. Even if you can't see the signs at first, God is a way of providing us with what we truly need. The passing of my mother changed me in so many ways and I am convinced that my Mom gave me another chance at life through her passing. It was Tet/Lunar New Year Day when she died. It was her time to start a new chapter in her life which gave me another chance to live an enjoyable and satisfying life. In my 30's I'm alive and alert. I truly feel like I'm living my life today and not merely existing like I was in my past. When I share my experience I hope my thoughts will resonate with those of yours. It is my wish that my words can help you realize that you're not alone. You have the ability to achieve whatever you want to achieve. I hope that you enjoy your life to the fullest and that you die without regrets as death is the sole thing that is promised to all of us during our lives.
