Anne Phung Nguyen
Anne Phung Nguyen. I am an American-born Vietnamese entrepreneur living in Orange County California. Alongside my amazing partner JP and the happy-go lucky father Henry. Many people are familiar with me via my Instagram platform, @annephung. I share my life- the good, the bad and everything in between. My parents took me to America in the year 1990, at which point I was just a year old. I wouldn't be sharing my story with you today if my parents didn't work to the max and sacrifice. Knowing I had an opportunity for a better life, I strived to make them proud and was a shrewd entrepreneur for success. I had a set plan in life: go to university and get a corporate job, get married, buy a house and have kids. My plan for success was to go to college, graduate and get a corporate job. Then I'd get married, buy a house and start a family. However, life was not so sure. It was 2013 when I found that I hated being at my corporate job. The status and the money didn't make me feel happy. I thought I wasted my time to earn a paycheck. In 2013, I discovered my love was fitness. I also enjoyed socializing and being able to aid others. On the path towards this new direction in life, I started to find private training. The business I started was in 2014 and I'm celebrating my 7th year of business success in 2021. It is rare to find Asian females working in the field. As an instructor, my aim is to inspire others and empower them to lead a healthy and happy life by creating healthy and sustainable living styles that meet the individual's goals and needs. Additionally, I aim to motivate others to follow the goals they have set for themselves so that they can achieve what they would like to accomplish. My career exploded as I was experiencing the most happiness of my life. My mother died just as my career took off. To be in Heaven she rests now following an eight-year fight against Scleroderma. Yet, I keep my Mom with me and dream about her each day. Although you may not be able to see it at first, life is a way of giving us what we really require. There are many ways that my mother's passing affected me in many ways. It is my belief that she offered me another chance to live through her demise. She died on Tet/Lunar New Year Day. This was her moment to begin her new life. I was given a second chance to live an enjoyable and fulfilling life. As I enter my 30's, I feel alive and aware I truly feel that I live my life now rather than merely living as the person I was back in my previous. When I tell the story of my journey, it's in the hope that others can relate to my thoughts and feelings. It is to know that they are not alone. It is also a sign of true love. Therapy is necessary and not uncommon. Finally that health is your biggest wealth. My hope is that you live life to its best and have no regrets when it comes to your final days. Death is our only assurance in this life.
