Anne Phung Nguyen

Hello, my name is Anne Phung Nguyen and I am an Vietnamese American entrepreneur residing in beautiful Orange County California with my amazing husband JP and my happy-go-lucky Dad Henry. A majority of my followers know me via my Instagram @annephung. I document my life - the highs, the lows and everything inbetween. When I was in 1990, I moved to America together with my family, including my brothers and parents at the age of one and half. Without my parents' devotion to perseverance and sacrifice and sacrifice, I wouldn't be here sharing my journey. As I knew I could achieve a better future I set out to be successful and do my parents happy. My mind knew what the plan was to live my life. Go to college and get a degree. Wed. Get a home. Get kids. It was my idea of what it would take to be successful. But life had other ideas. When I was in 2013, I started dreading going to my corporate job the money and status did not bring me joyand I was feeling as if I had wasted my time for a paycheck but I knew that I had a destiny. In 2013, I discovered that my true passion was exercising. I also liked getting out and about to help other people. In the process of pursuing this direction change in my life, I found the personal training I needed. This year I'll be celebrating my 7th Anniversary. In 2014 I began my own small business. In the field of coaching it is not a lot of Asian women. I strive to be a positive influencer within the business to offer quality coaching to empower others to become a healthier and happier them by creating the most sustainable life that meets their personal needs and goals. Furthermore, I try to motivate others to follow their goals and dreams in order to achieve whatever they wish to do. My career took off as I was enjoying the highest happiness in my entire life. My mother passed away at the same time that my career began to take off. To be in Heaven she is now in peace in peace after a long battle with Scleroderma. Yet, I keep the memory of her daily. Even if you can't see it initially, the universe can be a bit elusive in offering us the things we need. My Mom's passing changed me in many ways, and I am convinced that my Mom gave me another opportunity to live my life after her passing. She died on Tet/Lunar New Year Day. The day was her chance to start her new journey. I got my second chance at living the life of a fulfilled and happy. What I'm experiencing as I enter my 30s, is a sense of vitality and awareness. It's like I am truly living, rather than just surviving. In sharing my story, I hope that my words will resonate with yours. I hope to make you aware that you're not alone. That you have the capacity to succeed in everything you desire. My hope is that you will live the life you want to live and have your end is without regrets since that's the only thing you can count on for the rest of our lives.
