Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen is my name. I'm a Vietnamese American Entrepreneur living in Orange County California. My incredible partner JP and my wonderful Dad Henry are also part of our extended family. I am most well-known through my Instagram account @annephung. In this blog, I will share my tale of highs, lows, and everything in between. When I was just 1 and a half years old My family and I came from the United States to America. If it wasn't for the hard work of my parents, I may not have been here to share my life with you. As I knew I could be a successful person, I was determined to achieve my goals and make my parents happy. I believed that my future would unfold the same way as I graduated from college, get an employment opportunity in the corporate world, then get married and start a family. That was my ideal of what success would look like. But life had other ideas. In 2013, my job as a corporate employee was a job I hated. The status and wealth did not bring me joy. I thought I wasted my existence to get a pay check. When I began to navigate my way towards a new career path, I discovered that I was meant to work as a personal trainer. I loved exercising, I enjoyed having fun and I loved helping people. The year 2014 was the year I began my small business and this year 2021 I will be celebrating my 7th year anniversary. There are few Asian females working in the field. My mission in this field is to help create a durable and healthy lifestyle that meets the needs of my clients. It is my aim to encourage others to chase their dreams, and to lead the lives they've always wanted. As my professional career took flight I also lost my mom. This loss is the most devastating of them all. After battling for eight years with the disease, she is currently resting on Heaven. I am forever grateful to her and always keep her in my thoughts and my heart. It's incredible how life will teach us the exact lesson we need, even when we don't realize that it is there. My mother's death affected me greatly and I am convinced that she offered me a second chance in life. Her passing at Tet/Lunar New Year Day was an opportunity for her to begin an entirely new chapter. For me, it was my second chance to live a fulfilling life. My 30's are the first time I really feel I am alive. My life is shared with my readers so that I am able to share with you my experiences and words. It will allow you to know you're not alone. It is possible to accomplishing anything you wish in your life. Therapy is necessary and normal. Health is the best riches. My hope is that you live your every moment to the fullest and have a final resting place is not a regret, because that's all we can count on for the rest of our lives.
