Anne Phung Nguyen

Anne Phung Nguyen. I am an American Vietnamese entrepreneur living in Orange County California. Alongside my amazing partner JP and the happy-go lucky dad Henry. I am most well-known through my Instagram page @annephung. This is where I share my life story. The highs, the lows and everything in-between. When I was in 1990, I moved to America along with my brother and parents as I reached the age of one-and-half. Without my parents' devotion to perseverance and sacrifice, I probably wouldn't even be with you sharing my life. In the hope of having the best life possible I was determined to try the best I could to please them and determined to achieve my goals. In my mind, I knew what the plan was for my future. Go to college and then graduate. Wed. Purchase a home. Get kids. Though I believed that this was the definition of success, life had different plans. In 2013, my job as a corporate employee was a job I hated. Status and money didn't bring me happiness. I thought I was wasting away my time to make a living. When I began to navigate my way through a different career path, I discovered that I was meant to work as an instructor. I loved working out, I liked being around people, and I love helping others. In this year, I am celebrating my 7th Anniversary. In 2014, I started my own small business. There are very few Asian women work in the fashion industry. My mission in this field is to help create a durable and healthy lifestyle that meets the needs of my clients. In addition, I wish for others to be empowered to pursue their goals and accomplish whatever they want throughout their lives. While my career was taking off I also lost my mom. The loss of my mother is hardest of all. Her battle for 8 years with Scleroderma is over and she rests in Heaven. She will always be on my mind and in my heart. my mind. We can learn a lot from the world, even if we may not be able to spot it in the moment. My mother's unexpected death that shaped me forever. And I really believe I was given a second chance to live my life. Her passing at Tet/Lunar New Year Day was her opportunity to start an entirely new chapter. For me, it was a second chance for me to live a fulfilling life. The 30's are the only moment that I feel as if I am alive. When I tell the story of my experiences, it's to ensure that other people can relate to my thoughts and feelings. It is to know that they're not on their own. It is also a sign of real love. Therapy is a necessity and it isn't abnormal. Finally that the health of your body is the most valuable thing you have. I hope that you experience life at the highest level and not have regrets about your final days. The death of a person is the only guarantee in life.
