Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen, a Vietnamese American businesswoman, lives in Orange County California. I am married to a beautiful man named JP and a frightened father Henry. Most people are familiar with me from my Instagram @annephung where I share my daily life, the highs, the lows and all in between. When I was just 1 and a half years old, my family and I immigrated from the United States to America. If it weren't due to the dedication of my parents I might not even be here today sharing this life with people like you. My parents inspired me and I worked to be successful. I believed my future would unfold one way or another: I'd graduate from university, be offered a corporate position, marry and begin an family. It was my idea of what success looked like. But life had other plans. Money and the prestige of my position did not make me happy. I believed that I wasted my life for an income. I possessed a love of working out and I enjoyed having fun and helping people when I was navigating this new path in life I discovered my passion for personal training. In 2014 I started my own business, and in the year 2021 I will be celebrating my 7th birthday. In this field, there are not many Asian females. In order to be an innovator in my industry and to provide quality coaching to enable others to achieve a happier and healthier life by establishing a life that is tailored to their specific needs and objectives. I also strive to empower individuals to follow their desires and accomplish whatever they would like to in life. As my career began to take off, I was struck by the greatest loss of my life- the passing of my mom. After an eight-year struggle with the disease, she is now resting at Heaven. I will never forget her and continue to remember her in my mind and my heart. The lessons we learn from life can be hidden from us yet they can prove extremely valuable. The sudden death that changed me for good. In my opinion, I was given a second chance at living a full and fulfilling life. It was Tet/Lunar New Year Day when she died. It was her time to embark on a new journey which gave me the chance to lead an enjoyable and satisfying life. When I reach the 30's I am more alive than I ever have. I am able to say that I live now instead of merely living just like I did before. My intention in sharing my experience is to inform you that you're not alone. I hope that you believe that love is real and that a therapy session can be normal. Health is your greatest asset. I wish you to live your life to its fullest and that you die without regrets as death is the only thing promised to all of us during our lives.
