Welcome to WhatsTheFear!

Take the first step towards transforming your life

We’re here to support you every step of the way on your path to healing, growth, and success.

Bridging the Gap Between Mental Wellness, Personal Growth, and Leadership Development

WhatsTheFear exists to help you overcome challenges and achieve your goals through real compassion, deep connection, and teamwork. We believe that traditional therapy often misses the mark when it comes to offering these essential elements of healing and growth.

Uncover the Root Cause

We’ve figured out the “root cause” of your challenges, and it’s not what you think. At WhatsTheFear, we understand that fears and insecurities govern our emotions, feelings, thoughts, and overall well-being. These fears are the underlying causes of emotional struggles and self-limiting behaviors, such as addictions, anxiety, co-dependency, depression, imposter syndrome, procrastination, and many other harmful coping mechanisms.

Heal, Don’t Just Cope

Our approach goes beyond addressing surface-level issues. We guide you to uncover your true self by delving deep into your core values and beliefs. Through this process, you heal past wounds, gain clarity, and find purpose, allowing you to grow and evolve in meaningful ways. Our framework empowers you to create a life that aligns with your deepest desires and aspirations, leading to lasting transformation and fulfillment.

Meet Ronak Bhatt – The Man Behind WhatsTheFear

The story of What’s The Fear begins with Ronak Bhatt, a man whose life experiences shaped the foundation of our company. At just 11 years old, Ronak and his family migrated from India to the USA, a move filled with promise but also immense challenges. The cultural shock, bullying, and prejudice he faced after September 11, 2001, left deep scars that manifested in patterns of self-destruction.

Despite outwardly adapting to his new life, Ronak battled inner demons that led him down a path of substance abuse, toxic relationships, and poor mental health. His untreated emotional wounds affected not only himself but also those around him, including friends, family, romantic partners, coworkers, and clients. Years of pain and a profound spiritual awakening eventually led Ronak to a moment of self-reflection and realization. He confronted his deepest fears, letting go of toxic attachments and finding his purpose, passion, and authentic self.

Ronak’s transformation was not an overnight miracle but a courageous journey of personal growth. With each step, he emerged stronger and more determined to share his experiences and help others. This personal evolution laid the groundwork for What’s The Fear.

A great book grabs the reader from the get-go. This course begins at the beginning, then guides you through the writing process, right to the closing sentence. It’s everything you need to write your novel, except the coffee (we haven’t worked out how to digitize that yet).
