Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen is my name. I'm a Vietnamese American Entrepreneur living in Orange County California. My incredible wife JP and my wonderful Dad Henry are also part of our family. Most people are familiar with me from my Instagram @annephung where I document my life - both lows and highs, as well as everything that in-between. When I was in 1990, I came to America with my brothers and my parents at the age of one and half. If it wasn't for my parents' love for dedication and hard work it is likely that I would not be with you sharing my story. As I knew I could achieve a better future as a young adult, I was determined to be successful and do my parents happy. My goal was as follows: I'd pursue a degree, obtain work in a corporate as well as marry and then buy the house. I believed that this was the definition of success. However, Life had other plans that were for me to discover the meaning of success. When I was in 2013, I started looking forward to going back to my work position because of the amount of money and fame that did not bring me joyand I was feeling like I was wasting my life off to make a buck when I realized that I was destined to be more. As I sought out this new career path, I discovered that I loved fitness. Also, I enjoyed getting out and about and being able to assist others. The year 2014 was the year I began my own business. It will be my 7th anniversary in 2021. Only a few Asian women have a job in this field. I strive to make a difference within the field to offer quality coaching to empower those around me to make healthier and happier person by establishing the most sustainable life that meets their personal needs and goals. Also, I strive to inspire others to go after their dreams and do all they wish to achieve in their lives. My mother's tragic death, which occurred as my career was gaining momentum it caused me to experience the most devastating loss of my entire life. She won her 8-year battle with Scleroderma and rests in Heaven along with me in my thoughts and heart at all times. The lessons we learn from life are often hidden from us However, they can be extremely valuable. In so many ways, the loss of my mother changed me. It is my belief that she offered me another chance to grieve her passing. It was the Tet/Lunar New Year Day when she passed away. She had her chance to embark on a new journey which gave me the chance to lead an enjoyable and fulfilling life. Now in my 30s I am able to feel the joy of living and being alive. I don't feel like I just exist anymore. My story is being open to the public so that I can share with you the experiences I've had and my words. It will allow you to feel secure knowing that you're not the only one. You are capable of everything if you set your mind to it. Therapy is normal and necessary. Health is one of the best source of wealth. Since death is the only thing there is in this world I wish you a great time in your life and die without regrets.
