same. i get blasted with ads for this app on whatever platform, never installed it myself. the amount of promotions + this = my underdeveloped brain is so ready to assume the worst here. been a while since i used my pitchfork & i'm here for the riot.
if it is, in fact, something nefarious at play that would be a pretty crazy 2026 era exploit. but i'm certain it's a bug/artifact of some sort that, for whatever reason, affects this specific app.
Maybe the developer was using Headspace as part of the test data and it bled into production?
It's hard to imagine what Headspace would like to achieve if this were an exploit executed by them. It's so salient, that it makes no sense to do on purpose. At least some portion of Apple employees and their families are going to be affected by this, and this would escalate to the legal department immediately.
My money is on Apple being the buggy one here.

Yeah I'm thinking some sort of test artifact bleeding into prod and subject so some nightly process is likely the case.
This seems like a good guess. Seems like it was deployed Thursday based on the app reviews
I feel sorry for the headspace devs if it's really 100% Apple's fault.
I wish Apple released incident reports in cases like these. I hate that their secrecy obsession extends so far beyond hardware.
