Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen. I am an American Vietnamese entrepreneur living in Orange County, California. Alongside my amazing partner JP and my jolly dad Henry. Many people are familiar with me via my Instagram account @annephung, where I share my life- my highs, lows and everything between. My parents brought my family to America in the year 1990 when I was just a year old. I would not be able to share my story with you today if my parents didn't work hard and make sacrifices. So that they could give their children a chance at a more prosperous future, I focused on my goals and worked hard to get there. I thought my life would go the same way as I graduated from college, get an executive position, get married and start with a family. Though I believed that this was the standard for the ideal life, reality had other goals. The amount of money I earned and the importance of my work was not what I wanted to be. I believed that I was wasting my life to earn a paycheck. As I navigated my way to a new career path, I discovered that I was supposed to become an instructor. I loved working out, I liked having fun and I enjoy helping others. I began my business in 2014. My company is celebrating its 7th birthday this year. It's not common to see an Asian woman in this business. My goal is to be a positive influencer within the business to offer the best coaching and guidance to help people to live a more healthy and happier individual by developing the most sustainable life that meets their individual goals and needs. Additionally, I would like everyone to be able to achieve their goals and achieve anything they desire throughout their lives. As my career started to grow, I was struck by the most devastating loss of my life, my mother's passing away. To be in Heaven she now rests in peace after a long battle with the disease known as Scleroderma. But I still carry her with me and think of her every day. It's incredible how life will teach us the exact instruction we require, even if we aren't aware of that it is there. The loss of my mother changed me so much and I am convinced that she offered me another chance to live my life. On Tet/Lunar New Year Day, she passed away. It was now time for her to move on to her next chapter and my chance to live an authentic and satisfying life. At the age of 30 I feel a sense of being alive and in the moment. I don't feel as if I'm just a mere existence anymore. My life is shared with me so that I may share with you my experiences and thoughts. This will help you know you're not alone. You're capable of achieving anything you want and more. Therapy is vital and normal. The health of a person is the most important wealth. As death is all there is in this world, I hope you enjoy the rest of your days and live with no regrets.
