Let me tell you about Tad Starsiak, the beloved star of Good Bones. He’s been dealing with some family drama involving his sister, Mina Starsiak Hawk, but instead of getting bogged down by it, he’s choosing to focus on what truly matters. On October 18, Tad took to his Instagram page to share a powerful message that resonated with many of his followers. It’s a message about staying true to yourself and not letting others dictate your worth.
A Message of Strength and Positivity
In the post, Tad shared a video and wrote a heartfelt caption that really hit home for a lot of people. He said, “Don’t validate your success and hard work based off of what others see and approve. Move silently and be proud of yourself. After all, you should be your own No. 1 fan.” This is a sentiment that we can all relate to. In a world where it's easy to get caught up in what other people think, Tad reminds us to stay grounded in our own achievements and not seek validation from external sources.
Engagement and New Beginnings
Just a day before this inspiring post, Tad had some big news to share with the world. He got engaged to Anna Spiars during the series finale of Good Bones, which aired on October 17. The episode was all about renovating Tad and Anna’s new house in Bates-Hendricks, Indiana. This project was overseen by none other than Mina and Karen E. Laine, Tad’s mom. It’s a beautiful full-circle moment, bringing together family and friends in the spirit of love and construction.

Despite any family tensions, Tad seems to be looking forward with optimism and excitement. The comments section of his Instagram post was flooded with well-wishes and words of encouragement. One follower wrote, “Can’t wait to see what the future holds for you and Anna. I am sure it will be my next favorite show on HGTV!” It’s clear that fans are just as excited as Tad is for this new chapter in his life.
What’s Next for Tad?
While Tad hasn’t officially confirmed if he’s working on a spinoff show for HGTV, the fans are definitely hoping for one. A supporter commented, “Congrats on your engagement and beautiful house. I wish HGTV would give you, Austin [Aynes] and Cory [Miller] your own show, with guest appearances by Karen.” Fans are eager to see more of Tad and the Starsiak crew, and they’re crossing their fingers for a spinoff that could showcase their unique talents and charm.

As for Mina, she’s also moving forward with her own projects. She recently announced that she and her husband, Steve Hawk, will star in a two-episode special for HGTV, focusing on the renovation of their new lake house. Mina shared some exciting details on her podcast, “Mina AF,” saying, “What I know right now is [the] first phase we are filming for a two-episode spinoff, and it’s been really fun so far. Steve’s involved a lot, the kids are there a lot, MJ [Coyle] and Austin are there for demo and it just kind of feels like getting back to when I started, and it was just really fun and everything was joyful.”
Interestingly, Mina didn’t mention Tad or Karen’s names when talking about the project. It seems that their relationship is currently strained. In a podcast episode from September 20, Mina opened up about the situation, saying, “My life is crazy, and I have a lot of really, really amazing people in it that support me, and I have a lot of people in it that don’t, so [for] those that don’t, I’m not going to put energy and effort into it.” It’s clear that Mina is choosing to focus her energy on those who uplift her, and that’s something we can all relate to.
