Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen. Hello! I'm Anne Phung Nguyen. A Vietnamese American entrepreneur who lives with her wonderful husband JP at Orange County California. Henry is a very happy and lucky father. People know me best through my Instagram account @annephung. Here I tell my tale of highs, lows and everything in-between. My parents brought me to America in the year 1990, at which point I was just one-and-a half. It wouldn't be possible to share my life story today without my parents' efforts to work hard and make sacrifices. To give them the chance to have a prosperous future, I focused on success and worked hard to achieve it. My plan of life was for me to go to university, get a job in a corporation then marry, and purchase an apartment. The life I had imagined for myself wasn't what it turned into. Money and the prestige of my position did not make me happy. I was convinced that I wasted my life for a paycheck. As I navigated my way through a different career path, I discovered I was destined to become a personal trainer. I enjoyed working out, I liked being social, and I love helping others. This year I'll be celebrating my 7th Anniversary. In 2014, I launched my own company. There are very few Asian women have a job in the world of fashion. As coach, my mission is to inspire others to lead a healthy and enjoyable life by establishing sustainable lifestyles that cater to the individual's goals and needs. I am also committed to helping others become empowered so that they can achieve their goals, follow their passions and live your life to the fullest. While my career was taking flight and I was advancing, my mom passed away. It was the most devastating of them everything. Her battle for 8 years with Scleroderma has ended and she is now in Heaven. Her memory will forever be in my heart and brain. Even if you can't see the signs at first, God can be a bit elusive in providing us with what we truly require. My Mom's passing changed me in many ways, and I am convinced that my mom gave me a second chance to be alive through her passing. The day she died was Tet/Lunar New Year Day, she passed away. The time was right for her to move on to the next chapter of her life and for me to have the chance to live an authentic and satisfying life. In my 30's, I feel more vibrant than I have ever. I am able to say that I live now rather than just existing as I did in the past. My goal in sharing my experience is to let you know that you're not the only one. I would like you to feel that love is real and that a therapy session can be regular. Health is your greatest asset. Only one life is yours. I want you to live it to the fullest.
