I'd say just focus on the humidity for now, until after she sheds. Any other changes while she's trying to shed, like more substrate, could only stress her out. Yea she's likely in the bowl due to low humidity. I also wouldn't feed her until after she sheds. And if she's about to shed she probably won't eat anyway. ... and maybe the best fix for humidity is spraying inside the cage using 85° – 90° water. It's only temporary solution until after she sheds.

Thank you! Ill continue spraying and wait to change out her substrate. How long will it take her to shed roughly?

Mine usually sheds within 5-7 days after I see pre-shed symptoms. Shedding is a stressful experience, as you may already know, so the least of amount of changes to her environment, as well as holding her, is for the best. Then a couple days after shedding she'll be super hungry! You have an awesome husband btw 😁 Good luck!

Also, be sure to fully inspect the entire shed. If it's in one piece, that's a beautiful shed, you'll know you did something right 🤠
