Anne Phung Nguyen, a Vietnamese American businesswoman, lives in Orange County California. I have a wonderful fiance named JP along with a very unhappy father Henry. My Instagram account, @annephung, is where most people follow me. I post about my day-to-day life, both the good and the bad. My parents brought me into America in the year 1990 when I was only one and a half years old. I wouldn't be sharing my story to you now had my parents not worked hard and make sacrifices. My parents were my inspiration and I worked to be prosperous. In my mind, I knew what the plan was for life. Attend college, and get a degree. Get married. Get a home. Create children. My plan for success was to go to university to graduate, then get an executive job. After that, I'd marry, buy a house and have kids. However, life was not so sure. The year 2013 was the year I began anxious about going to work. job. The money and the status didn't bring me happiness- I felt that I was throwing my life away for a paycheck but I knew that I was meant for more. As I navigated my way to a new job, I realized I was destined to work as an instructor. I was a fan of exercising, I enjoyed having fun, and I love helping others. My small business was started in 2014, and I'll be celebrating 7 years of success in 2021. It's not common to see an Asian female in the business. My aim in the industry is to build a more durable and healthy life style that is in line with the desires of my clients. I also strive to empower individuals to follow their goals and achieve anything and everything they want to in life. As my career started to take off, I had one of the greatest losses in my life, my mother's death. Her eight-year battle was won. fight with the disease and now rests in Heaven and with me in my thoughts and my heart all the time. Even if you can't see it at first, life can be a bit elusive in offering us the things we require. The unexpected death that shaped me forever. It was a true blessing. that it provided me with a chance to experience the next stage of my life. The day she died on Tet/Lunar New Year Day was an opportunity for her to begin an entirely new chapter. To me, it was my second chance to live a fulfilling life. In my 30s I am awestruck by the feeling that I am alive and living. It's not as if I'm just a mere existence anymore. As I tell my story, I hope that my words will resonate with yours. It is my wish that my words will make you aware that you're never alone. You have the capacity to succeed in whatever you want to achieve. Because death is all that we can have I wish you a great time in your life and die without regrets.
