Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen is my name. I'm a Vietnamese American Entrepreneur living in Orange County California. My wonderful wife JP and my fun-loving Dad Henry are also part of our families. The majority of people have come across me through my Instagram account @annephung, where I talk about my personal life- the good, the bad and everything in between. My parents welcomed me into America around 1990, and I was just one-and-a-half young. It wouldn't be possible to share my story with you today without my parents' efforts to work hard and make sacrifices. Knowing that I could enjoy a brighter and more promising future as a young adult, I was determined to succeed and make my parents happy. My goal was in a way that I could study at university, land an employment in a company then marry, and purchase an apartment. I figured that was the ultimate definition of success. however, life was not so sure to show me the meaning of success. The money and the status of my work was not what I wanted to be. It was as if I had wasted my time for money. 2013 was the year I discovered my love was exercising. In addition, I was a fan of being social and giving back to others. This took me down a new path and into the field of personal training. Since 2014 I have been running my first business of a small scale and this year, 2021, I'll be celebrating my 7th birthday. Since I am an Asian female working in this field, there are very few of females like. As coach, my mission is to encourage others and empower them to live happily and in good health by designing sustainable, healthy and happy lifestyles that cater to each individual's preferences and requirements. Furthermore, I want people to be empowered to follow their dreams and achieve anything they wish to in life. As my career was taking off, I experienced one of the biggest losses in my life to datethat of losing my mom. She won her eight year fight with the disease and is resting in Heaven as well as with me in my thoughts and heart always. If you don't realize it at first, life can be a bit elusive in providing us with what we truly require. In many ways, my mother's passing changed me. I truly believe she provided me with another chance to grieve her passing. It was the Tet/Lunar New Year Day when she died. She had her chance to start a new chapter in her life as I was given another chance to live happy and fulfilled life. The 30's are the only moment that I feel as if that I'm living my life. When I share my experience I would like to hope that my personal experiences can resonate with your own. My hope is that my story will help anyone realize that they're not in isolation. It is my hope that you will have the capacity to succeed in anything that your heart desires. Since death is the only thing we have in life, I hope you enjoy your life and die with no regrets.
