Mina Starsiak Hawk Says She’ll Continue to Work with HGTV After End of 'Good Bones'

The 'Good Bones' series finale airs Tuesday, but the star is already filming a spinoff about the renovation of her family's new lake house

Good Bones wraps up its eight-season run Tuesday night — but that doesn’t mean you won’t see Mina Starsiak Hawk on HGTV again.

In the latest episode of her podcast, Mina AF, Starsiak Hawk reflects on the challenges that came with finding fame on the long-running home renovation series.

And while she admits that being in the spotlight has felt like a “pressure cooker” for her family, that hasn’t deterred her from pursuing future television opportunities.

“I still love it,” she says. “I love what I do. And I actually — weirdly enough, even though it was never a goal of mine — I love making TV. I love working with the people. I love doing something different every day, and something that’s challenging. And I have a great relationship with the network still, and moving forward will still do things with them.”

Her next on-camera project involves filming the renovation of her family’s new lake house for a two-episode spinoff of Good Bones.

The property, about 35 minutes from her Indianapolis home, is located in a “great community,” Starsiak Hawk says.

“It’s this place that I can see in my mind that’s going to be for my family, but also for my extended family to make these new, amazing memories,” she explains. “I have so many friends that I hear tell great stories about growing up at their grandparents’ lake house and running around in the woods and building forts and just being kids, and I want that for my kids.”

She and husband Steve Hawk, who have two children — Jack, 5, and Charlie, 3 — are renovating the home together.

“We’re doing it in two phases, because I don’t have enough money to do the whole thing at once,” Mina says. “Despite what a lot of people think, I’m not rich.”

For the first phase, they’re focused on the main floor of the house, which encompasses the living room, dining room, kitchen, main bedroom and bathroom, two additional bedrooms and another bathroom for the kids. Phase two will include the outdoors and basement, which will serve as a second living space for extended family.

“It’s been really fun so far because Steve’s involved a lot,” she says. “The kids are there a lot.”

MJ Coyle and Austin Aynes, from the team seen on Good Bones, will be there for demo, she notes.

“It just kind of feels like getting back to when I started and it was just really fun, and everything was joyful,” the HGTV star adds. “I don’t know when that will air or what that will look like, but that is happening."

Last month, Mina told PEOPLE in an exclusive interview that she sees herself being part of the HGTV family “as long as they want me to be there."

“It's the best place to be for what I do,” she said.

In addition to filming the lake house renovation, she hopes to continue appearing on other HGTV shows, like the star-studded competition series Rock the Block.

“While I'm sure at one point I would've said, ‘Never again am I doing my own show,’ I would in a heartbeat if it was something that I think I could maintain while also maintaining my sanity,” she said. “I never tried to be on TV. I didn't apply for this, but when it was good, I'm good at it. I like it. I like the whole process. It's really interesting. So I'm definitely open to it.”
