Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen. I am an American-born Vietnamese entrepreneur living in Orange County California. Alongside my amazing partner JP and my jolly dad Henry. Many people recognize me as @annephung on Instagram which is where I share my journey - from the upwards to the downwards. When I was in 1990, I moved to America together with my brother and parents as I reached the age of one and a half. Without my parents' love of perseverance and sacrifice, I probably wouldn't even be here sharing my story. With the opportunity to have an improved life I was determined to try my best to please them, and was focused on my success. I believed my future would unfold a certain way: graduate from university, be offered an employment opportunity in the corporate world, then marry and begin with a family. My idea of success was to go to university, graduate and get a corporate job. I would then marry to buy a home and have kids. However, life was not so sure. In 2013, my job as a corporate employee was a job I hated. The status and wealth did not bring me joy. I believed that I was wasting away my time to make a living. When I started to take steps to a new path in life I realized the importance of personal training and that's what I wanted to do. I am a lover of exercise and enjoy working in the company of people and am eager to help people. My small business was started in 2014, and I'll be celebrating 7 years of success in the year 2021. In the field of coaching there is a lack of Asian women. My aim in the industry is to build a more durable and healthy lifestyle that meets the needs of my clients. Also, I want everyone to be able to achieve their goals and achieve anything they desire in their life. When my professional career began to grow, I was struck by one of the greatest losses in my life, my mother's loss of life. After battling for eight years for a condition called Scleroderma, she's now resting in Heaven. I will never forget her and always remember her in my mind and in my heart. There is a lot we can learn from the world, even if we might not be able to see it now. My mother's abrupt death that altered my life for the better. In my opinion, it gave me an opportunity to live my the next stage of my life. The day she died was Tet/Lunar New Year Day, she died. The time was right for her to transition into her new chapter, and my chance to live an authentic and satisfying life. My 30's are the first moment that I feel as if I am alive. The purpose of sharing my experience is to show you that, you are not alone. I want you to believe that love is real and that a therapy session can be normal. Your health is your greatest asset. My hope is to live your life at its best and have no regrets in the end of your life. The death of a person is the only assurance in this the world.
