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 dad Henry. My Instagram account @annephung is where I am most popular with my followers. I write about my day-to-day life, both the good and the bad. My parents took my family to America in the year 1990, at which point I was just a year old. I would not be able to share my life story today if my parents didn't work hard and make sacrifices. In order to give them the chance to have a successful future, I focused on success and worked hard to get there. I had a plan to study to graduate, and then get an employment that was good. And then I wanted a wife and kids. The lifestyle I had imagined for myself was not what it turned into. My corporate job in 2013 was one I had a fear of. Money and status didn't bring me happiness. I believed that I was wasting away my life to earn a paycheck. I had a passion for 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. My business started in 2014 and I'm celebrating seven years of growth in 2021. Few Asian women have a job in the world of fashion. My aim in the industry is to create a more healthy and sustainable lifestyle that meets the needs of my customers. Also, I'm dedicated to helping others become empowered so that they can reach the goals they set, pursue their passions and live your life to the fullest. My professional career began to take off when I experienced the greatest happiness in my entire life. But, my mom passed away just when my career took off. To be in Heaven she now rests in peace after a long battle with the disease known as Scleroderma. But I still carry my Mom with me and dream about her each day. It's amazing how the world can give us the exact lessons we need even when we don't realize it. My mom's death changed my life in so many ways. I am convinced that my mom offered me a second chance at life through her passing. Her passing in the year of Tet/Lunar New Year Day was an opportunity for her to begin a new life. It was my second chance to lead a fulfilled life. Now into my 30's I feel alive and aware of the fact that I live my life now and not merely existing like I was in my past. When I tell the story of my experiences, it's in the hope that others will be able to understand my feelings and thoughts. It is to know that they're not on their own. And that there is real love. Therapy is necessary and not abnormal. Finally that wellness is your greatest wealth. My hope is to live your every moment to the fullest and have a death be without regrets, since that's the only thing that we have to be confident about in this life.
