Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen is my name and I'm a Vietnamese American Entrepreneur living in Orange County California. My wonderful husband JP, and my happy-go-lucky Dad Henry are also part of our extended family. My Instagram account, @annephung, is where most people follow me. I write about my day-to-day life, both my good and bad days. When I was just 1 1/2 years old, my family and I came to America. If it weren't due to the dedication of my parents, I wouldn't have been here to share the journey with the world. Given the chance to live the best life possible, I wanted to do the best I could to please them, and was focused on achieving my goals. I had a set plan in life: go to university, get a job get married buy the house, and then have kids. I believed that this was the ultimate definition of success. but life was not so sure to teach me what success meant. The year 2013 brought me to the realization that the job I was in didn't feel like a good fit for me. While the pay and position was good, I didn't feel like the work was satisfying. In reality, I thought I was doing nothing but wasting time. It was in 2013 that I discovered my love was fitness. I also enjoyed having fun and being able to aid other people. On the path towards this direction change in my life, I discovered the personal training I needed. The year 2014 was the year that I founded my small company and I will celebrate my 7th year anniversary by 2021. In the field of coaching, there are not many Asian women. To lead in my industry and to provide quality coaching to assist others in achieving a happier and healthier life by establishing a life that is tailored to meet their needs and to reach their targets. Additionally, I would like everyone to be able to follow their dreams and accomplish whatever they want throughout their lives. While my professional life was taking off, I suffered the most devastating loss in my lifethat of losing my Mom. After an eight-year struggle with the disease, she is now resting at Heaven. I will never forget her, and will always keep her in my thoughts and in my heart. It is amazing how life can give us the exact lessons we need even if we aren't aware of that it is there. The abrupt death that altered my life forever. And I really believe that it provided me with a chance to experience the next stage of my life. It was the Tet/Lunar New Year Day when she passed away. The opportunity was there to embark on a new journey, and I got my second shot at a fulfilling and happy life. Now into my 30's I am alive and conscious of the fact that I am living now rather than merely living as I was in my past. I am sharing my experiences to you with the hope that you can resonate with my words and experiences for you to be aware that you're not the only one, to know that you are far more capable than anything else you set your mind to the fact that real love is there and therapy is a necessity and normal as health is the greatest form of wealth. As death is all that we can have I wish you a great time in your life and die with no regrets.
