Anastasia Moiseeva is a\\xa0life coach, mentor, teacher and a life-learner. In 2005 she moved from the cold far-away Siberia to the Netherlands to pursue a master\'s degree in Urbanism. In 2013, she defended her PhD in\\xa0Urban Sciences and Systems at the University of Eindhoven.\\xa0

Her way after receiving the PhD degree was not straightforward: after working less than a year as a coordinator and analyst in the ABN ARMO bank and then refusing several high-profile positions in academia, she landed a challenging position as a tutor in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in Rotterdam (EUC) in 2016.

Today. she dedicates all her time and energy to work on her own project "Urban Life Coaching", which aims to help\\xa0current and former PhD students to\\xa0get control of their project, to get out of negative thought spirals and find balance by focusing on the right things in life.\\xa0

In this interview, she reflects upon her own journey from a master student to a life coach and tells how life coaching helps to overcome various difficulties like finishing a thesis, finding a dream job, or reconciling personal and professional lives.\\xa0\\xa0
