Give up? :(
Here’s my golden sedum that has declined drastically. Should I give her up? No thriving or surviving from here?

Golden Sedum does go summer dormant. Their growth slows way down. And they will lose leaves and get well, ugly.
It's okay, it's their way of conserving energy and getting some rest. Giving them time to store energy for fall growth.
While she is dormant water should be very limited. Once a month at most.
Definitely do not fertilize her she needs the rest. This is the period to trust her that she knows what to to and let nature take over. For my summer dormant plants I like to move them out of sight under grow lights on a bottom shelf. That way I can forget they are there. Then in fall like magic they start growing again. 🩷

@BloomRookie don't give up! Once you give it the right conditions, it will most likely start to grow pups along the stem. Now, your soil mix looks good but I must say, that pot looks slightly big for that sedum. You could go down a pot size which might help with water control or just be very careful about over-watering, waiting until the soil is completely dry and/or leaves showing signs of thirst. Also, if you've recently repotted, that could've stressed it out.
@BloomRookie No, while dormant every 4 weeks at the most. You want them to have just enough to keep the roots healthy. I have several winter dormant plants right now. I actually go every 4-6 weeks depending on their location. South facing window or outdoors every 4 weeks. North, East, West or grow lights 6 weeks.
Your better to do too little than too much water when dormant otherwise they will rot. Plus you really want them to take that break. 🩷
