The weird side of wellness

Hey there,

If you’re new here, welcome.

We’re Bug of the Week—a weekly newsletter about bugs, strange patterns, and the wild ways they show up in our homes, our bodies, and our lives.

Not into bugs? Doesn’t matter. This isn’t really about bugs. It’s about the patterns beneath the surface and what they’re trying to tell you.

It’s about…

• How nature adapts (and what it can teach us about healing)

• Using bugs as unlikely guides for instinct, boundaries, and protection

• The quiet signals your body and home are always sending

Curious? Here are a few reader favorites to get you caught up:

🐛 When Rest Is the Work
The bagworm moth builds a portable cocoon… and may never leave it again.

🪲 Not All Bugs Fly. Some just flip out.
The click beetle doesn’t fly—it panic-launches itself into the air.

🌱 It Looked Like a Leaf… Until It Bit Me
The praying mantis waits with grace, then strikes with precision.

Next week, we’re heading to the Amazon. We’ll share the origin story, and the bug that made us rethink everything. From there, we shift inward—to the unseen organisms quietly influencing your health, energy, and everyday life. Sometimes the bug is the problem. And sometimes, it’s the clue.

P.S. While we’re on the topic of what’s living in your space—there’s a new way to rethink the idea of home ownership altogether:

The key to a $1.3T opportunity

A new real estate trend called co-ownership is revolutionizing a $1.3T market. Leading it? Pacaso. Led by former Zillow execs, they already have $110M+ in gross profits with 41% growth last year. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO. But the real opportunity’s now. Until 5/29, you can invest for just $2.80/share.

Invest in Pacaso today.

Until next week,
