Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen, a Vietnamese American businesswoman, lives in Orange County California. I have a wonderful fiance named JP and a hapless father Henry. The majority of people have come across me through my Instagram platform @annephung where I write about my experiences- the good, the bad and all in between. My parents welcomed me into America around 1990, and I was just one-and-a-half young. I would not be sharing my story to you now if my parents didn't work long and made sacrifices. When I realized that I had the potential to achieve a better future, I was determined to make my parents proud. I thought my life would go a certain way: graduate from university, be offered a corporate position, get married and start an family. Although I was convinced that it was the best way to define achievement, the reality of life had its own plans. The year 2013 was the year I began fearful of going to work. position because of the amount of money and fame that didn't bring me happinessIt was like I was just wasting my time on a salary when I knew I was in the right place to be more. While I was looking for a new path to work, I discovered that I loved exercising. I also loved socializing and being able to help other people. My small business was started in the year 2014 and I'm having a successful 7 years this year in 2021. Only a few Asian women work in this sector. In the coaching industry I'm determined to make a difference by providing quality training to assist others in becoming healthier and more content. Furthermore, I want people to be empowered to follow their ambitions and attain anything they would like to achieve in life. My career took off as I had the best successful times of my life. But, my mom passed away just when my professional life began to fall off. After eight years of battle with the disease, she is finally resting in Heaven. I will never forget her. I continue to keep her in my thoughts and in my heart. If you don't realize the signs at first, God can be a bit elusive in giving us exactly what we need. The passing of my mother changed me in so many ways and I believe my mom gave me a second opportunity to live my life after her death. On Tet/Lunar New Year Day, she died. This was the time for her to move on to the next chapter in her story and my chance to live an authentic and satisfying life. The 30's are the only that I truly feel like that I'm living my life. In sharing my story I hope that my experiences will resonate with yours. I would like that my words can help to realize that you're not isolated. I believe that you are blessed with the capability to do whatever you want to achieve. It is my hope to live your the life you want to live and have you will die with no regrets because that's the only thing we can count on in this life.
