Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen is my name. I'm a Vietnamese American Entrepreneur living in Orange County California. My amazing husband JP, and my happy-go-lucky Dad Henry are also part of our family. A majority of my followers know me via my Instagram @annephung where I record my personal life: highs and lows, as well as everything inbetween. When I was in 1990, I moved to America together with my brother and parents at the age of one and a half. Without my parents' devotion to perseverance and sacrifice it is likely that I would not be here sharing my life. In order to give them an opportunity to live a prospering future, I aimed on achieving success and put in the effort to get there. I had a plan to attend school, graduate and get an employment that was good. After that, I was looking for an empathetic wife and children. I thought that was the definition of success. However, life had other plans to demonstrate what it meant to be successful. The year 2013 brought me to the realization that I disliked my corporate position. Even though the compensation and status were good however, I wasn't sure if it fulfilled me. Instead I felt that I was just spending my time. I was passionate about working out and I enjoyed being social and helping others while I walked my new career path. I found my calling in personal training. In 2014, I founded my small company and it will be 7 years since my birthday in 2021. In the field of coaching, there are not many Asian females. I strive to become a catalyst within the field to offer the best coaching and guidance to help individuals to be healthier and happier individual by developing the most sustainable life that meets the individual needs and desires. Also, I strive to inspire individuals to follow their goals and achieve all they wish to achieve in their lives. While my career was taking flight and I was advancing, my mom passed away. It was the hardest of all. In Heaven she is now in peace following an eight-year fight against the disease known as Scleroderma. Yet, I keep the memory about her each day. It is possible to learn from life, even though we may not be able to recognize it right now. Her passing has changed my life in several ways. It is my belief that her death gave me the chance to start a new chapter. She passed away in the morning of Tet/Lunar New Year Day it was time for her to begin her next life and I was given a second chance to live a happy, fulfilled and meaningful life. The thing I'm feeling now in my 30s is a sense of aliveness and awareness. It's like that I'm living my life, rather than just surviving. I am sharing my experiences with you in hopes that you can resonate with my stories and thoughts for you to be aware that you're not on your own, to know that you are more than capable of whatever you put your heart into. the fact that real love is there and therapy is a necessity and normal to be healthy is truly the most valuable asset. As death is all there is in this world, I hope you enjoy your life and die without regrets.
