The Candy Bar Story
This happened to me. It could happen to anyone. But the truth is, you always have a choice. That’s what my book, I Ate a Candybar and Divorced My Husband, is all about.
What if you could stop
surviving and start thriving?
Every so often, a book comes along that doesn't just ask us to reflect but dares us to act. With an irresistible blend of humor, vulnerability, and no-nonsense wisdom, Ziporah Bank delivers a heartfelt and empowering guide to personal transformation. This isn't just another self-help book—it's a candid, unfiltered conversation with a trusted friend, one who sees your potential and urges you forward with honesty, compassion, and a touch of wit.

I’ve known Ziporah Bank for over 30 years, and she has always been a force of nature. Warm, dedicated, and utterly committed to her friends, family and the people she works with. Ziporah speaks her truth with passion, enthusiasm, and unstoppable energy. When she enters a room, you feel it—she commands attention and leaves no doubt that she is a master of life coaching.
Working with Ziporah means surrendering to a bold, transformative process. It takes strength and courage to take the kinds of personal risks she encourages, but she walks beside you every step of the way—guiding, challenging, and championing you from breakdown to breakthrough.
She is consumed with the desire to teach, to heal, and to help others grow. Ziporah is enthusiastic, open, and yes— loud. She will speak with such fire and intensity that you may not get a word in, but you won’t mind. You’ll be too busy being inspired.
Enthusiastic, open-hearted, and impossible to ignore, Ziporah makes a lasting impact on everyone she encounters. If you are ready to truly change your life, she is the person you want beside you.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Ziporah V Bank
Ziporah V. Bank is a self-help author and coach who draws on her unique and challenging life experiences to inform her work. Raised as the only child of Holocaust survivors in Israel, she was exposed to deep-seated pain and suffering from a young age. This upbringing instilled in her a resilient attitude, leading her to make a conscious choice not to be defined by her parents' suffering. She learned early on that while pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. Her life journey, which included moving to America at a young age to pursue a journalism degree, was characterized by a rebellious spirit and a constant quest for wisdom and growth.
