Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen. I am an American Vietnamese entrepreneur living in the city of Orange California. With my wonderful partner JP as well as my happy father Henry. A lot of people know me as @annephung on Instagram and I write about my journey - from the upwards to the downwards. It was 1990 that my family relocated to America. At the age of one quarter, I joined my parents. As I knew I could achieve a better future, I was determined to achieve my goals and make my parents happy. My mind knew what the plan was for life. Attend college, and get a degree. Get married. Purchase a home. Have kids. Although I was convinced that this was the ideal definition of successful, my life was not following the plans. The year 2013 brought me to the realization that the job I was in didn't feel like a good fit for me. While the pay and status were good however, I wasn't sure if the work was satisfying. Instead I felt that I was just spending my time. While navigating my way towards a new career path, I discovered I was destined to work as an instructor. I was a fan of exercise, I loved having fun and I loved helping others. The business I started was in 2014 and I'll be celebrating my 7th year of business success in the year 2021. Being a Asian female in this industry there are very many of us. As an instructor, my aim is to encourage others and empower them to live a healthy and happy life by creating healthy and sustainable living styles that meet every person's individual needs and desires. Furthermore, I try to motivate others to follow the goals they have set for themselves so that they can achieve what they want to achieve. While my career was taking flight and I was advancing, my mom passed away. This loss is the worst of all. Her battle for 8 years with Scleroderma is over and she rests in Heaven. She will forever be on my mind and in my heart. my mind. Life's lessons are often hidden from us, but they can be extremely beneficial. The sudden death that changed me forever. In my opinion, that it provided me with a chance at life. When she passed away in the morning of Tet/Lunar New Year Day it was the perfect time to start her new life, and also for me to have my second chance of living the most happy, joyful and meaningful life. In my 30's, I feel more alive than ever. I am able to say that I live now instead of merely living as I did previously. The purpose of telling my story is to let you know that, you are not the only one. I want you to be aware that love exists and that therapy is common. Your health is truly the most important asset you have. You have only one life. I hope you enjoy it to the max.
