One polished site for a multi-talented voice in entertainment and psychology

Merging Two Brands into One Streamlined, Secure, and Easier-to-Manage Website

Dr. Nancy Berk is a psychologist, author, stand-up comic, and host of the long-running podcast Entertaining Insights (previously WhineAt9). With such a wide range of work, she had been managing two separate websites—one for her professional brand and one for her podcast. But when she rebranded the podcast, it was the perfect time to consolidate everything under one clear, unified home online.

In addition to merging the two sites, Nancy needed a modern design refresh, better content organization, and stronger security practices. She also wanted tools she could trust and a site that would be easier to update moving forward — especially with a podcast archive of over 400 episodes.

What we worked on together

A Consolidated Website, Cleaner Content, and Secure Podcast Integration


We created a unified, custom WordPress website for Nancy’s personal brand and podcast, migrated hundreds of episodes, and improved both security and newsletter integration. Ongoing website care and email marketing support help everything run smoothly behind the scenes.

Website

We started with a new sitemap and content plan, then iterated through several design revisions based on concepts by designer Cat. I imported over 400 podcast posts, replaced outdated and insecure plugins, and integrated Libsyn’s Publisher Hub to make publishing easier and safer. The final WordPress site brings Nancy’s work together in a clean, approachable format that’s easy to maintain and expand.

Email Marketing + Website Care

To help Nancy stay connected with her audience, we integrated Mailchimp and placed newsletter signup forms strategically throughout the site. We also set up an automated email that goes out each time she publishes a new podcast episode or blog post—making it easy for subscribers to stay up to date. I provided Zoom and Loom-based training so she could feel confident using the new tools. Nancy is now on one of my website care plans, which includes backups, updates, security monitoring, and ongoing support—so she never has to worry about technical issues slowing her down.

If you’re ready for a website that’s easy to manage (and support that sticks around after launch) let’s chat about your project. I’ll help you get clear, organized, and set up for what’s next.

Rene’s incredible knowledge, extreme professionalism, attention to detail, kindness and cutting-edge teaching made a stressful project bearable and, as we neared the end, truly enjoyable. I learned so much during this project (technical strategies, site management, social media support tools) that will continue to benefit me in the future. Rene also encouraged and welcomed graphic design input— helping me to create exactly what I had hoped to achieve. She is extremely skilled at moving the process along when you feel like you can’t move forward, and she always makes time to answer questions promptly. It’s easy to sometimes feel like you’re in way over your head during projects like these, but Rene is the best life guard.
