Anne Phung Nguyen

I am Anne Phung Nguyen and I am an Vietnamese American entrepreneur residing in stunning Orange County California with my wonderful wife JP and my delightful Dad Henry. My Instagram account is @annephung and most people follow me. I write about my life in general, including the good as well as the bad. My parents took me to America in 1990, when I was just one-and-a-half years of age. I wouldn't have the opportunity to share my life story today if my parents didn't work long and made sacrifices. As a child, I knew that I could have a shot for a brighter and better future, I aimed to please them. I had tunnel vision regarding achievement. I believed that my future would unfold a certain way: graduate from university, be offered an executive position, get married and start with a family. The lifestyle I had planned for me was not what was actually. The amount of money I earned and the status of my job did not make me happy. I felt as if I wasted my life for an income. As I sought out this new career path I realized that I was passionate about doing fitness. I also loved socializing and being able to assist others. In 2014, I founded my own small business. My company is celebrating its seventh birthday in 2021. There are a few Asian females working in the field. Within the field of coaching I'm hoping create a change by delivering high-quality instruction to make others healthier and more content. Also, I want others to feel empowered and able to pursue their desires and be able to achieve whatever they desire in life. My career took off as I was experiencing the most successful times of my life. However, my mother was killed just as my career began to take off. Her battle for 8 years with scleroderma has come to an end and she lies in Heaven. She will forever remain in my heart and my mind. Even if you can't see it at first, life can be a bit elusive in providing us with what we truly need. There are many ways that my mother's passing changed me. I truly believe she gave me another opportunity to be a part of her story after she passed away. Her death occurred on Tet/Lunar New Year Day it was the perfect time to begin her next life and for me to receive a second chance at living the most happy, joyful and purposeful life. In my 30's, I feel alive and aware of the fact that I am living now and not just living the way the way I did in my former. As I write this story I hope that my experiences will resonate with those of you. My hope is that my writings can aid anyone realize that they're not isolated. It is my hope that you will have the capability to do any goal that you wish to accomplish. I pray for you to live the best life possible and live your life without regrets as death is the only thing which is guaranteed to us during our lifetime.
