Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen. I am an American Vietnamese business owner living in the city of Orange, California. My wonderful husband JP and my jolly dad Henry. Many people are familiar with me via my Instagram platform, @annephung. I share my life- the highs the lows and everything in between. In 1990, my family relocated to America. At the age of 1 and 1/4 I was accepted into my parents. My parents inspired me and helped me become prosperous. My mind could see the path I wanted to take for my future. Go to college and graduate. Wed. Purchase a home. Create children. I thought that was the definition of success. However, however, life has other plans to teach me the meaning of success. Money and the prestige of my position did not make me happy. I felt as if I was wasting my life to earn an income. The year 2013 was when I discovered my love was exercising. I also liked socializing and being able to help others. As I moved towards this direction change in my life, I discovered personal training. The year 2014 was the year I began my business on the side and in this 2021 will see me celebrating my 7th birthday. Very few Asian women have a job in the fashion industry. As an instructor, my aim is to encourage others to live a healthy and fulfilled life through creating viable lifestyles that are suited to each individual's needs and goals. In addition, I strive to motivate others to follow their goals and dreams in order to achieve whatever they wish to do. As my career started to grow, I was struck by the most devastating loss of my life - my mom's passing away. The battle she fought for eight years with the disease has ended and she is now in Heaven. She will forever remain in my thoughts and brain. Although you may not be able to see it at first, life has a funny way of giving us what we really require. The death of my mother has changed my life in a profound way and I believe she gave me a second chance at life. It was the Tet/Lunar New Year Day when she passed away. The opportunity was there to embark on a new journey, and I got the chance to lead an enjoyable and satisfying life. As I approach my 30s I am awestruck by the feeling of living and being alive. I don't feel like I just exist anymore. In sharing the tale of my journey, it's with the intention that people can relate to my experiences and thoughts. In order to feel that they're not on their own. Also, that there exists true love. Therapy is a necessity and it isn't abnormal. In the end, your the health of your body is the most valuable thing you have. Only one life is yours. I want you to live it to the fullest.
