I help Neurodivergent Spoonies just like you.
I help Neurodivergent and Chronically Ill individuals struggling with burnout go from feeling stuck, alone, and hopeless, to mastering a toolset for genuine self-care and a bias toward action, so they can choose where to spend their precious time and energy to create the life they want.
Why a course?
While I started my business providing one-on-one coaching, I learned over time that it was less effective for two primary reasons:
I’m a Neurodivergent Spoonie, too. My capacity varies widely, and my ability to be “on” is inconsistent. Sometimes I would give a coaching call while running on empty and feel frustrated with myself that I couldn’t help my client the way I know I’m capable of. A course solves this problem because it allows me to pre-record all of the things that I want each and every one of my clients to learn so they can get the best of what I have to offer, regardless of how I’m feeling from day to day.
I want to help as many people as possible while also earning a living. That simply is not possible with a one-on-one model because I don’t have the spoons for the number of coaching calls it would require each week.
I have designed this course thoughtfully from the ground up to center my amazing clients and give them everything they need to succeed and meet their goals. They have access to the best of what I have to offer through my pre-recorded course, my private Discord community, and also ongoing group coaching calls with me (these are included with the cost of the course and are not an additional fee).
Wary of a group format?
I know how scary the idea of a group format can be, especially in the context of chronic illness, neurodivergence, mental health, trauma, and productivity. These can be very difficult topics, especially since our society heavily shames Neurodivergent Spoonies.
Creating a safe community is profoundly important to me, and I can confidently say that everyone inside this program gets it. The safety, empathy, and understanding waiting for you inside this community is transformational.
If you resonate with my work and have been seeking “your people,” we’re right here. Can’t wait to meet you. 💖
Do you…
Struggle to get yourself to take action on the things you want and need to do?
Feel like you’re merely (or barely) surviving?
Fear you’re wasting your life or being a burden?
Have a harsh inner critic who can turn anything into a reason to shame you?
Worry because you don’t know who you are?
Spend way too much time learning about productivity hacks and planning systems, only to never use them?
Want to be a part of a community of like-minded people who get it?
Dream of being the type of person who gets things done?
Fantasize about a future where you’re a more powerful and capable version of yourself?
Imagine how good it would feel to be able to use your precious time and energy the way you want and need to.
Imagine how good it would feel to know who you are, to have a compassionate inner voice, and to trust that you can always count on yourself.
Imagine how good it would feel to not be alone anymore.
What if…
You never had to hustle again
You had more spoons
You could be consistent
You felt motivated
You could focus
You had clarity
You had confidence
You had high self-esteem and self-compassion
What if you had unconditional self-trust, so that whatever comes your way, you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that you could handle it?
The Action Navigator is an 8 Module course packed to the brim with tools and techniques for mastering your time, getting organized, and offering yourself radical compassion as a Neurospicy Spoonie.
Many programs focus solely on the big picture (your North Star, following your passion, smart goal setting, etc.), and then fail to actually help you take action, let alone consistently. That’s why the bulk of The Action Navigator focuses on Mastering the Moment, on helping you actually do the thing and consistently. These are the tools that, once mastered, will allow you to make empowered decisions about your life and your future, not the other way around.
Whether you’re struggling to get yourself to brush your teeth every day, struggling to stay on top of your course work, struggling to follow through on your creative goals, struggling to not spend all day every day on the sofa watching Netflix—basically you’re struggling to take action; you deserve help learning the skills and tools that will empower you to spend your precious time and energy the way you want and need to; to not only survive, but to thrive.
That’s what The Action Navigator is all about.

The Action Navigator is a one-of-a-kind experience.
Nothing else like it exists. Treating yourself with compassion and understanding will feel natural. Spending your precious time and energy the way you want and need to will become second nature. You’ll develop the kind of self-trust that will allow you to show up for yourself no matter the circumstances.
I spent too many years of my life figuring this out on my own and don’t want anyone else to have to lose so many years of their life to this same struggle, and I especially don’t want anyone to have to do this alone.
I built this program because it’s what I so desperately needed years and years ago. Did other coaches and therapists have things to offer me? Yes. But the good ones were desperately hard to find, and no single expert covered all the bases of what I was struggling with. My procrastination didn’t exist independently of my depression and trauma. My resistance didn’t exist independently of my chronic illness, chronic pain, and chronic fatigue. My ability to take action didn’t exist independently of the systemic oppression and forced poverty I experienced thanks to my disabilities.
I needed holistic help: coaching, tools, and skills that would not only work for me in my mess of a life, but were designed for those circumstances.
That’s what The Action Navigator is all about.
When you integrate the Action Navigator system and tools into your life, you’ll not only be more productive, you’ll also have a more compassionate and fulfilling relationship with yourself. You’ll have the skills and support to not only survive, but to finally thrive.

Testimonials
“Thank you for creating this space, this program. It’s the first place I’ve ever had where I don’t feel broken and irredeemable. You inspire, you teach, you give me hope (and that’s huge because me & hope have a really rough relationship). I don’t know if you can see it but I feel so much like I’m learning & growing & being kinder to myself. And after what feels like a lifetime of hating myself & trying to punish myself into someone I respect it’s…a blessing. So in case you don’t hear it enough — you matter, your heart & your work matters and it’s changing lives. So proud of you Cassie and so blessed to know you. ♥️”
“Have been yearning to say how much hearing you all helps me! I am just getting through a re-listen of some of our group sessions and seriously just about every question and reply is a jewel to me. I share SO MANY of these struggles, some of them articulated by you Muses to myself for the first time. So grateful to this community and especially you, Cassie—not only for your suggestions that feel spot-on and clarifying and lift the heart and show a way forward, but for creating this community. So, so heartened and grateful for seeing/feeling a way forward. Thank you thank you thank you.”
“The course so far has been amazing.
In the Welcome Party alone, I don’t think I’ve ever felt so understood and not alone in my life.”
“So many courses and workshops I’ve done in the past are all like, figure out what works for you, and they made me feel so overwhelmed and disconnected from myself. I feel like this course is going to help me so much, you are our Gandalf.”
“Thank you all for being such a great support and inspiration. Thank you Cassie for being a beautiful guiding light. As I wrote today I realized, I have held on to hope during the darkest of times. And I keep coming back to that hope. Joining this group was a sign of and outcome of that hope. And what a wise decision past-me made to be here with all of you lovely and kind people. Sending gratitude and love and looking forward to this new year with you ❤️”
“I’m Jody Yarborough, a digital content creator and small business owner. I write about my own personal life as well as disability advocacy. I’ve followed Cassie on YouTube for awhile before I booked our first consultation appointment. So I was hopeful she was going to be able to help me. I’ve read and watched a lot on productivity and “self-help” but no one ever seems to understand the perspectives that disabled and chronically ill folks have to deal with. BUT CASSIE DOES! It was so refreshing to finally feel heard and validated. She really has a lot of original and thoughtful insight for this community, and she shows up consistently to help us break through barriers and live our best lives. My issue was consistency and she really helped me unlock a years-long mystery and frustration on why I couldn’t develop a consistent writing habit. I can’t say this of many people, but Cassie literally helped to change my life. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for fresh perspectives, fact-based research and understanding, and the nudge they might need to get unstuck and move forward with their goals and aspirations.”
“Cassie is great about encouraging us to show up “messy.” No pressure to perform or be perfect. You don’t have to stress about sharing with the group. Everyone is so wonderful and supportive and kind. And fun! Cassie has a great sense of humor and so does everyone else. This group is the perfect blend of accountability and productivity awesomeness, emotional support, and fun. 😊”
“Thank you Cassie for helping me shoot for the moon, sometimes land among stars, sometimes fall to the swiss alps and start the trek all over. This life is full of both no matter what, but I finally feel like I might be able to ride on top of the waves instead of get crashed on every time.”
“When I first joined the Accountability Muse Membership I thought, “Maybe this will be helpful, but I’ll probably only do it for a month.” But, it turns out, this membership is exactly what I needed. The skills Cassie Winter teaches are nothing short of revolutionary, and my life has transformed as a result.
I’m finally making progress on the projects that mean the most to me. I used to get really excited about a project, burn that passion hard and fast, and then either burn out, get sidetracked by health challenges, or move onto the next exciting thing (rarely finishing any of them). The only thing I’ve done consistently is inconsistency. And the Accountability Muse Membership has changed that!!
I am actually consistently working on my passion projects. And if something in my life comes up and threatens to derail me, Cassie does an amazing job of coaching me through it: encouraging me to take care of myself while also continuing to take steps towards my goal. She doesn’t advocate sacrificing well-being in the name of productivity, and she doesn’t advocate for sacrificing productivity for the sake of well-being. She prioritizes both and has found a genius way of supporting each so we can both live with our respective challenges while still reaching for our goals.
Whatever our limitations, it is still possible to achieve what we want to achieve, and we don’t have to do it alone. There is actually someone out there who understands the struggle intimately and who has been there before. Someone who is amazing at validating, supporting, and encouraging, who will walk that road with us. And Cassie does a beautiful job at all of it. I cannot recommend her and the Accountability Muse Membership enough. If you’re anything like me, then it will change your life.”
“Accountability Muse has been revolutionary for my quality of life. As a creative, I’ve gotten stuck, researched tools to fix it, and gotten stuck again many times.
Cassie’s program provides unique insight from her own experience, which she articulates in a way I can apply to my own situation - something I couldn’t get with my academic resources.
I can’t emphasize it enough, this program provides the follow-through I didn’t get from any other program I’ve tried, by helping me build the custom system I need to make and meet my goals.
The community is respectful and equally invested in applying the program.
I highly recommend the program if agency to complete your goals is hard for you. You are not alone!
Even still in development, I’ve seen an improvement in my life.
The Accountability Muse program is helping me build my custom toolkit to get and stay unstuck reliably on my own!”

Your Next Steps:
Values Check:
Because so many of my students are members of marginalized communities, their safety (and yours) inside my community is my top priority. While basic human rights should be a given and not a political issue, they are very much a political issue at present, which makes the work I do inherently political. Because of this, I choose to be transparent about my values and beliefs. I believe in and support:Black Lives Matter
Anti Racism
Pro Choice
Land Back
LGBTQIA+
Trans Rights are Human Rights
Fat Activism
Vaccinations, Face Masks, & Social Distancing
Support, Accessibility, and Accommodations for those with Disabilities and/or are Neurodivergent
Universal Healthcare
Universal Basic Income
If you agree with the following statement, “Yes! I am comfortable with Cassie's values, and I definitely want to work with her” you may proceed to step two! If you do not agree, I recommend finding a coach whose values reflect your own and I wish you the best on your journey.
