Hi there and welcome to Greg!!! Did she by chance get burned by the sun?

I was about to say it looks like the plant got sunburned, yellow + brown is usually the indicator

@YammieOf3 she started browning while she was still inside so I set her on my balcony incase she needed more sun and seems like she just got a little worse. :(

@QualityMudpuppy She has been in the sun for a couple days, but her browning seemed to start while she was still inside. I assumed she didn’t have proper drainage and just stayed wet too long. The leaves feel more mushy instead of crisp. :(

@TexasKB is she in a pot without drainage. If so this is a no-no, especially for succulents. Drainage always and I would also recommend a terracotta pot.

@YammieOf3 thanks for the suggestion, she is in a pot with drainage though. My MIL repotted her for me (she WAS a baby from her plant) but when she repotted her she put newspaper in the bottom of the pot, so I wondered if maybe that wasn’t needed?

@TexasKB I’ve never heard of putting newspaper in the bottom of a pot. I would think the paper would hold onto water keeping the soil moist for too long.
