Brittany is a high-agency med student. She is extremely headstrong. She knows what she wants and she makes whatever sacrifices are necessary to obtain it. She was enthusiastically onboard for learning to cook. The limiting factor was simply time and energy. Medical school is very stressful and time-consuming. Learning to cook when you don’t know where to start is stressful and time-consuming too. Cooking (for someone who doesn’t know how) is scary. Gentle guidance and positive reinforcement reduced the effort she had to expend learning how to cook.

I’d hoped and expected this was the case. I really do like the kindness and help you applied to make it less threatening or scary to start out.
