E18: Your Life as a Subscription? SaaS Experts Decode Netflix’s Black Mirror S7E1 "Common People". Travelling with kids.

What if your life had a “free plan” — and one day, it got downgraded? In this episode, SaaS experts Anna and Wendy dissect Black Mirror Season 7 Episode 1: “Common People”, through the lens of tech, ethics, and motherhood.

We unpack how the episode mirrors real SaaS monetization, sales psychology, and subscription addiction — and why this future isn’t as fictional as it seems.

Plus: Our SaaSy Struggles segment is packed with mom life chaos — from surviving road trips with toddlers to Disneyland hacks that actually work.

🎯 Whether you're a working mom in tech, a SaaS founder, or just a Black Mirror fan — this one’s for you.
