It's been a few weeks since Mina Starsiak Hawk opened up about the family feud, and now her brother, Tad Starsiak, has decided to share his thoughts. The HGTV star’s sibling, who’s a general contractor, posted a heartfelt video on Instagram this past Wednesday, October 11. The caption accompanying the video spoke volumes about releasing negative emotions and moving forward with a positive mindset.
Life Is Short: Tad Starsiak's Message
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of emotions, but Tad reminds us to take a step back and evaluate what truly matters. His Instagram post emphasized the importance of not letting anger consume us. “We only have a limited amount of time on this Earth,” Tad wrote. “Why waste even a second being angry? It’s just not worth it.”
As the video unfolds, Tad, 30, is seen sitting comfortably on his couch with his beloved pup by his side. He dives deep into a thought-provoking discussion about how we, as humans, often assign meaning to everything. “We’re meaning-making machines,” he explains. “Our brains are wired to stay ahead of us, always trying to figure out narratives for why things happen. But sometimes, we need to learn how to turn that off.”

Learning to Let Go: A Powerful Analogy
Tad uses a relatable analogy to drive his point home. Imagine you're driving down the road, and someone honks at you or flips you the finger. What’s your first reaction? For most people, it’s anger. But Tad suggests there’s immense power in pausing before reacting. “You don’t have to let that moment define you,” he says. “You can let it pass without giving it meaning. It doesn’t have to mean anything. Life is too short to waste energy on negativity.”
He wraps up his message by urging people to focus on powerful, positive meanings. “Life is so fleeting,” he concludes. “The meanings you choose to assign to things should be ones that uplift you and inspire you to move forward.”

Family Feud: The Elephant in the Room
Although Tad didn’t directly address the feud with his sister, the comments section was brimming with questions about the current state of their relationship. Fans were curious about the dynamics after Mina, 39, and her team renovated Tad and his fiancée Anna Spiars’ home during one of the final episodes of season 8 of Good Bones.
“Loved your house project last night,” one follower commented. “So happy for you and now I’m seeing your fiancée. So sad to read about the disconnect in your family. You all seemed so loving on screen. Hoping you can work together to heal it!”

Mina first addressed the strained relationship during an episode of her podcast, “Mina AF,” on August 28. Later, on September 18, she delved deeper into the root cause of the tension with Tad. “My brother said some truly hurtful things to me,” she shared with her listeners. “And while I’m sure he’d say the same about me, the most recent things he said were a breaking point. They’re in text, black and white, and there’s no denying what was said.”
