Anne Phung Nguyen

Hello, my name is Anne Phung Nguyen and I am an Vietnamese American entrepreneur residing in the beautiful Orange County California with my wonderful husband JP and my happy-go-lucky Dad Henry. The majority of people know me via my Instagram @annephung, where I record my personal life: the highs, the lows and all in between. My parents brought me to America in the year 1990, at which point I was just one-and-a half. I wouldn't be sharing my story to you now if my parents didn't work hard and make sacrifices. As I knew I could have a brighter future and I wanted to achieve my goals and make my parents happy. My plan of life was for me to go to university, get an employment in a company then marry, and purchase the house. The lifestyle I had imagined for myself was not what it turned out to be. The year 2013 brought me to the realization that the job I was in didn't feel like a good fit for me. Although the salary and the status was great but I did not feel that it was fulfilling. In reality, I thought I was simply wasting my time. The year 2013 was when I realized that my passion was working out. I also liked socializing and being able to help others. As I moved towards the new direction of my life, I found personal training. The year 2014 was the year I began my own business, and in the year 2021 I will be celebrating my 7th birthday. Few Asian women are employed in the world of fashion. My aim in the industry is to create a more sustainable and healthier lifestyle that meets the needs of my clients. Also, I'm dedicated to helping others become empowered so that they can reach their goals, follow their passions and live the life of your dreams. When my business was taking flight, I lost my mother. This loss is the worst of all. She won her eight-year struggle with Scleroderma. Now she's resting on Heaven, and I remain close to her in my heart. Although you may not be able to see it initially, the universe is a way of offering us the things we require. My loss has impacted my life in a variety of ways. It is my belief that her death gave me the opportunity to begin a new chapter. In the morning of Tet/Lunar New Year Day, she died. The time was right to go on to the next chapter of her life and my chance to live a meaningful and fulfilling life. The 30's are the only moment that I feel as if I am alive. My life is shared to you with the hope that you will resonate by my experiences and words for you to feel secure knowing that you're not alone, for you to realize that you're beyond capable of anything you put your heart into. and that love is real, that therapy is normal and needed to be healthy is truly the best source of wealth. My prayer is that you live your life fully and that your death be without regrets, since that's the only thing we can count on for the rest of our lives.
