Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen. I am an American-born Vietnamese entrepreneur living in the city of Orange, California. My wonderful husband JP and the happy-go lucky father Henry. My Instagram account, @annephung, is where most people follow me. I write about my life in general, positive and negative. When I was 1 year old my family, me and my parents immigrated into America. If it weren't for the hard work of my parents I might not exist today to share this life with you. In order to give them an opportunity to live a successful future, I focused on my goals and worked hard to achieve it. Within my head, I could see the path I wanted to take to live my life. Go to college and get a degree. Get married. Buy a house. Get kids. I thought that was the epitome of success however, life has other plans to demonstrate what it meant to be successful. In 2013, my job as a corporate employee was a job I hated. The status and wealth didn't bring me happiness. I believed that I was living a solitary existence to get a pay check. My love of fitness and my love of socializing with people helped me find my new calling as an instructor. My small business was started in 2014 and I'm celebrating my 7th year of business success this year, 2021. Since I am a Asian female working in the field, we are among the few. As a coach I'm determined to be a positive influence by offering high-quality coaching to help others become healthier and more content. It is my goal to inspire others to pursue their goals and lead the lives they've always dreamed of. As my professional career took flight I also lost my mom. The loss of my mother is most devastating of them all. In Heaven she rests now following an eight-year fight against the disease known as Scleroderma. But I still carry her with me and think of her daily. If you don't realize the signs at first, God can be a bit elusive in giving us what we really need. My loss has impacted my life in several ways. I truly believe that my death provided me with an opportunity to begin the next chapter. Her death occurred on Tet/Lunar New Year Day. The day was her chance to begin her new life. I got my second opportunity to live an enjoyable and fulfilling life. What I'm experiencing at the age of 30 is a feeling of aliveness and awareness. It's like that I'm living my life, rather than just surviving. The purpose of the story I am sharing is to inform you that, you are not alone. I want you to be aware that love exists and that therapy can be normal. Health is your greatest asset. As death is all there is in this world, I hope you enjoy living your life to the fullest and leave without regrets.
