Your current code is creating a new Window instance. If you want to get the Window containing the UC you can call Window.GetWindow and then cast to your specific Window type:

    private void btnNext_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        var gt = Window.GetWindow(this) as GetStarted;
        if (gt != null)
        {
            gt.image0.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
            gt.lblSteps.Content = "Step 2 of 5";
        }
    }
