Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen, a Vietnamese American businesswoman, lives in Orange County California. I am married to a beautiful man named JP along with a very unhappy father Henry. A lot of people know my username as @annephung on Instagram and I write about my adventures ranging from ups to the downs. I moved to America with my brother and parents in the year 1990. At one and a half years older. I wouldn't be here sharing my life with you if it weren't since my parents were devoted to determination and dedication. Knowing I had an opportunity at a better future I strived to make them proud and had a clear vision for success. In my mind, I could see the path I wanted to take to live my life. Go to college and get a degree. Get married. Get a home. Get kids. While I believed this was the standard for the ideal life, reality had other goals. 2013 was the year I realized I disliked my corporate position. Even though the compensation and status were good, I didn't feel like it was fulfilling. It was more like I was doing nothing but wasting time. While I moved toward a new direction in my life, I discovered that personal training was my passion. I am a lover of exercise and enjoy working in the company of people and am eager to help them. It was in 2014 that I started my own small business which will mark my 7th year anniversary by 2021. There are few Asian women working in this industry. In the coaching industry I would like to make a difference by providing quality training to aid others to become healthier and more content. It is my goal to encourage others to chase their dreams, and to live the lives they have always dreamed of. When my work began to take off, I was struck by the most devastating loss in my entire life to date- the passing of my mother. The eight years she fought fight with Scleroderma. Then she's in Heaven and I will remain close to her in my heart. There is a lot we can learn from our experiences, though it may be difficult to recognize it right now. My Mom's passing changed me in so many ways. I believe my mom offered me a second opportunity to live my life after her death. She died on Tet/Lunar New Year Day. It was the day she decided to begin her new life. I got my second opportunity to live a happy and fulfilled life. As I enter my 30's, I feel alive and aware I truly feel like I'm living my life today rather than merely living as I was in my past. When I share my experience, I hope that my words will resonate with yours. I hope to aid you in understanding that you're never alone. You have the ability to achieve everything you desire. I hope that you live life to the highest level and not have regrets about your final days. We are the only certainty in our lives.
