Anne Phung Nguyen

Hello, my name is Anne Phung Nguyen and I am a Vietnamese American entrepreneur residing in the beautiful Orange County California with my amazing fianc JP and happy go lucky Dad Henry. The majority of people have come across me through my Instagram platform, @annephung. I write about my experiences- the good, the bad and everything in between. My parents brought me to America in 1990, when I was just a year old. It wouldn't be possible to share my story to you now if my parents didn't work to the max and sacrifice. My parents were my inspiration and helped me to become successful. I had a set plan for my life: university and get a corporate job, marry, purchase an apartment and have children. It was my idea of what it would take to be successful. But life had other plans. The year 2013 was the year I began looking forward to going back to work. job. The money and the status was not bringing me joyand I was feeling that I was throwing my life away in exchange for a salary even though I knew I was destined for something more. While navigating my way towards a new career path, I discovered that I was meant to become personal trainer. I was a fan of working out, I liked having fun and I loved helping people. My small business was started in 2014 and I'm celebrating my 7th year of business success in 2021. Very few Asian women work in the industry of fashion. As a coach, I want to change the world through providing high-quality training that will assist others in becoming healthier and happier. It is my goal for me to help others chase their desires and achieve the life they've always wished for. My career took off as I was experiencing the most successful times in my entire life. However, my mother passed away at the same time that my career took off. The eight years she fought battle with the disease. She is now resting in Heaven, and I remain close to her in my heart. It's amazing how the world gives us exactly the lesson we need, even when we do not realize it. My mother's abrupt death that altered my life forever. And I really believe it gave me an opportunity at life. In the morning of Tet/Lunar New Year Day, she died. It was now time to go on to the next chapter of her life and for me to have the chance to live an authentic and satisfying life. As I approach my 30s I am awestruck by the feeling of being alive and in the moment. I don't feel as if I'm just a mere existence anymore. My life is shared to you with the hope that you can resonate by my experiences and words in order to let you know that you are not on your own, to realize that you're far more capable than anything else you put your heart into. that true love exists that therapy is a necessity and normal to be healthy is truly the greatest form of wealth. Because death is all that we can have I want you to enjoy your life and die without regrets.
