Tsering Yangzom Lama (CAN) Bestseller Debut, Dodging Tibetan Clichés and why she still has a Day Job

Tsering Yangzom LAMA is the author of We Measure the Earth with Our Bodies — a powerful debut novel about a Tibetan family living in exile over the span of five decades.

The book has been met with wide acclaim, won multiple awards, and even made its way into the hands of His Holiness the Dalai Lama — a moment that left Tsering speechless and in tears.

In this episode, we talk about the less glamorous side of writing: the daily discipline, the doubts, and the deep emotional states that make stories come alive.

Tsering shares her resistance to stereotypical imagery on Tibetan book covers, how she keeps her creativity grounded through routine, and why she still works in environmental advocacy while writing her next novel — a historical tale of ancient Tibet, saints and black magic.
