Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen. I am an American-born Vietnamese entrepreneur living in the city of Orange California. Alongside my amazing partner JP and the happy-go lucky dad Henry. My followers are mostly on my Instagram page @annephung. This is where I share my tale of highs, lows, and everything in between. When I was 1 year old My family and I moved from the United States to America. If not because of the sacrifices made by my parents, I may not even be here today sharing the journey with you. My parents inspired me and I worked to be successful. My life was set out for me to study at university, land a job in a corporation, marry and buy a home. While I believed this was the definition of success, life had different goals. 2013 was the year I realized the job I was in didn't feel like a good fit for me. While the pay and the status was great however, I wasn't sure if the work was satisfying. In reality, I thought I was simply doing nothing but wasting time. When I began to navigate my way towards a new job, I realized I was destined to work as personal trainer. I enjoyed working out, I liked having fun and I enjoy helping people. In 2014, I founded my small company and I will celebrate 7 years since my birthday in 2021. As an Asian woman in the industry, there are very few of us. As an instructor, my aim is to encourage others and empower them to live a healthy and enjoyable life by establishing healthy and sustainable living styles that meet the individual's goals and needs. It is my goal to encourage others to chase their goals and achieve the life they've always dreamed of. When my professional career began to grow, I was struck by the most devastating loss of my life: my mother's passing away. After battling for eight years for a condition called Scleroderma, she's at peace on Heaven. I am forever grateful to her and always remember her in my mind as well as my heart. The lessons of life are often hidden from us, but they can be extremely beneficial. There are many ways that the loss of my mother affected me in many ways. It is my belief that she provided me with another chance to be a part of her story after she passed away. On Tet/Lunar New Year Day, she died. It was now time for her to transition to the next chapter of her life as well as my opportunity to lead an authentic and satisfying life. In my 30s, I have a sense of being alive and in the moment. I'm not feeling that I'm just another number. In sharing the tale of my experiences, it's with the intention that people will be able to understand my feelings and thoughts. It is to know that they're not on their own. And that there is genuine love. Therapy is necessary and is not abnormal. Also, the health of your body is the most valuable thing you have. I wish you to live your life to its fullest and to die with no regrets as death is the only possibility that awaits all of us during our lives.
