Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen, a Vietnamese American businesswoman, lives in Orange County California. I have a wonderful fiance named JP along with a very unhappy father Henry. The majority of people know me via my Instagram @annephung. I record my personal life: the highs, the lows and everything inbetween. My family relocated to America. At the age of one quarter, I joined my parents. Given the chance to live an improved life I was determined to try the best I could to please them. I was focused on achieving my goals. I had a set plan for my life: university, get a job, get married, buy a house and have kids. My goal was to go to university, graduate and get an executive job. I would then marry then buy a house, and have kids. But life had different plans. The money and the status of my work did not make me happy. I believed that I wasted my life for an income. I was passionate about exercising and enjoyed having fun and helping people while I walked this new path in life I was drawn to personal training. This year I'll be celebrating my 7th anniversary. In 2014 I began my own business. As a Asian female working in the field, we are among the few. In the coaching industry I would like to change the world by offering high-quality coaching to aid others to become healthier and more content. Additionally, I want to encourage people to pursue their dreams and do anything and everything they want to do in their life. As I started my career, the death of my mom was the most devastating loss to me. Her battle for 8 years with Scleroderma has ended and she is now in Heaven. Her memory will forever be in my heart and mind. It's incredible how life can give us the exact lesson we need, even if we aren't aware of that it is there. Many ways, my mother's passing affected me in many ways. I truly believe she offered me another chance to live through her demise. In the morning of Tet/Lunar New Year Day, she passed away. The time was right for her to transition to the next chapter of her life as well as my opportunity to lead one that was meaningful and enjoyable. In my 30s I feel a sense of living and being alive. I don't feel like I just exist anymore. In sharing the tale of my experiences, it's in the hope that others will be able to understand my feelings and thoughts. In order to feel that they're not the only ones. And that there is true love. Therapy is necessary and is not unusual. Finally that health is your biggest wealth. There is only one chance to live. I want you to enjoy it to the max.
