I have this succulent and I can’t figure out why it’s shriveling. I got this from my mom and it doesn’t seem to want to stay healthy. Am I over watering it?

Likely overwatering, yes. The container you have it in isn’t helping the soil to drain either. I’d try repotting it and clean up the roots when you do.
