Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen. Hello! My name is Anne Phung Nguyen. A Vietnamese American entrepreneur who lives with her amazing husband JP and her family in Orange County California. Henry is a happy, go-lucky father. My Instagram account @annephung is where the majority of my followers are. I write about my daily life, positive and negative. My parents took me into America in the year 1990, at which point I was only one and a half years old. It wouldn't be possible to share my story to you now without my parents' efforts to work to the max and sacrifice. So that they could give their children the chance to have a successful future, I focused on success and worked hard to get there. I thought my future would unfold the same way as I graduated from college, land an employment opportunity in the corporate world, then get married and start with a family. The life I had thought I would have wasn't what it turned out. The money and the status of my position didn't make me feel happy. I was convinced that I wasted my life for an income. The passion I have for fitness as well as my love of socializing with others led me to find my new calling as a personal trainer. In 2014, I started my own small business and I will celebrate 7 years since my birthday in 2021. In this field there is a lack of Asian women. My aim in the industry is to create a more healthy and sustainable lifestyle that can meet the demands of my clients. Additionally, I aim to inspire others to pursue their dreams and goals so that they can achieve what they want to achieve. In the beginning of my job, the passing of my mom was the most devastating blow to my life. She won her eight year battle with Scleroderma and is resting in Heaven as well as with me in my mind and my heart all the time. It is possible to learn from the world, even if it may be difficult to spot it in the moment. The loss of my mother has changed my life in a profound way and I think she was the one who gave me a second chance in life. The day she died on Tet/Lunar New Year Day was her opportunity to start with a fresh start. To me, it was my second chance to live a fulfilling life. In my 30s I feel a sense of being alive and in the moment. I don't feel like I just exist anymore. As I tell my story I hope that my words will resonate with yours. It is my wish that my words will aid you in understanding that you're not alone. That you have the capacity to succeed in anything that your heart desires. As death is all there is in this world I want you to enjoy your life and die without regrets.
