Just a week after the series finale of "Good Bones" aired on TV, Tad Starsiak opened up about one of the most significant lessons he's learned throughout his journey. In an Instagram video posted on Monday, October 23, Tad shared heartfelt advice with his followers. This message comes at a pivotal moment, as fans reflect on the end of the beloved HGTV series and the personal lives of its stars.
Being Vulnerable: Tad’s Key Lesson
In the video, Tad emphasized the importance of vulnerability, urging his audience to embrace their authentic selves. "I want to remind you to be vulnerable," he said. "It's one of the greatest things I've learned. By being vulnerable, I mean being willing to show people your most genuine form. It's about letting down your walls and allowing others to see who you truly are." Tad went on to explain that vulnerability fosters deeper connections and stronger relationships, encouraging viewers to practice this in their own lives.
In the final episode of Season 8, Tad took a bold step by proposing to Anna Spiars after moving into their new home in Bates-Hendricks, Indiana. However, the months following the show's filming brought challenges, as Tad’s sister Mina Starsiak Hawk revealed on an August 28 episode of her podcast that they weren’t on "good terms." Things escalated further when Mina disclosed a heated text exchange between them.

Family Tensions and Text Exchanges
Mina shared during a September 18 podcast episode that the texts were filled with harsh words. "My brother Tad said some really awful stuff to me, and I’m sure he would say that I’ve said some awful stuff to him too," she explained. "But the most recent stuff he said to me, he can’t say it’s not what he said. He can’t say I misunderstood. It’s in text, and it’s black and white. That was kind of my final straw there." Despite these challenges, Tad remains hopeful about the future.

Optimism Amid Family Drama
Despite the family drama, Tad has remained optimistic and focused on positivity. "In order to create strong relationships of love and empathy, you need to be you in your most vulnerable form," he reiterated in the video. "When you're your authentic self and you share that with other people, they're drawn to it. They get to see the realness of who you are." Tad concluded by encouraging his fans to embrace vulnerability, warning against pushing people away. "Let people in and give them the chance to love you," he said. "You deserve to be loved."
This wasn't the first time Tad shared an inspirational message on social media. On October 11, he posted a video about releasing negative feelings. "We only get so much time to live on this Earth, why spend any of it being angry? It's just not worth it," the caption read. "Life is so, so short, and the meaning that you give to things needs to be powerful ones."
