Each week, I share no-fluff pageant coaching that helps you win. Both on stage and off. After coaching titleholders in Miss Universe, Miss USA, and Miss America, and 350+ pageant interviews, this isn’t theory. It’s what works.
👑 About Sanne-Esmee
Sanne-Esmee Walstra is Miss Earth Netherlands 2025. Her love for nature began in childhood, spending summers camping and growing up surrounded by animals. With a grandfather who raised sheep, she learned how to shear them and even made her own clothing from their wool. These early experiences taught her the beauty of living close to nature and sparked her passion for sustainability.
That passion grew into her advocacy, Earthwise Movement, a platform that inspires people to rethink the way we live by embracing slow fashion, upcycling, and mindful choices for the planet. Representing the Netherlands on the Miss Earth stage is a true honor, and her mission is to create real change for a greener and kinder future for the next generation.
