Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen is my name and I'm a Vietnamese American Entrepreneur living in Orange County California. My amazing husband JP, and my happy-go-lucky Dad Henry are also part of our clan. A majority of my followers know me through my Instagram @annephung where I document my life - the highs, the lows and everything in between. I moved to America with my family and brothers in 1990 when I was one and a half years old I would not be now sharing my story for you were it not because my parents are devoted to determination and dedication. As I knew I could have a brighter future and I wanted to succeed and make my parents happy. I had a plan to go to school in order to finish my studies and secure a good job. After that, I was looking for a wife and kids. Although I was convinced that this was the ideal definition of successful, my life was not following the strategies. In 2013, I realized that I was not happy going to work at my corporate job. Money and status did make me feel happy. I felt like I was wasting time for an income. When I began to navigate my way through a different direction in my career, I found that I was supposed to be an instructor. I was a fan of exercising, I enjoyed being around people, and I love helping others. The year 2014 was the year I began my own business, and in the year 2021 I will be celebrating my 7th year anniversary. Few Asian women are employed in the fashion industry. As an instructor, my aim is to motivate others and empower them to live a healthy and enjoyable life by establishing viable lifestyles that are suited to every person's individual needs and desires. My goal is to encourage others to chase their goals and achieve the life they've always wanted. When my work began to take off, I suffered the most devastating loss in my entire life to datein the death of my mom. Her battle for 8 years with Scleroderma has ended and she is now in Heaven. She will always be in my heart and mind. It's amazing how the world will teach us the exact lesson we need, even if we aren't aware of that it is there. In so many ways, my mom's death affected me in many ways. I honestly believe that she gave me another opportunity to experience her loss. Her death occurred at the age of 87 on Tet/Lunar New Year Day. It was the day she decided to enter her next life. I had my second chance at living an enjoyable and fulfilling life. As I enter the 30's I am more alive than ever. I can truly say that I live now instead of merely living just like I did previously. The purpose of telling my story is to inform you that you're not the only one. I hope that you believe that love is real and that therapy can be regular. Your health is your greatest asset. I hope that you enjoy your life to the fullest and to die with no regrets because death is the only thing promised to us in our life.
