Are you watering with distilled/filtered water? How’s the humidity near her?

I have a brita water filter and I have it near my diffuser until I get a humidifier.🤍🪴

Try using distilled water. Calathea have very little tolerance to minerals in water and brita filters still leave minerals 😊

You can also use aquarium water conditioner (personally use api stress coat) I put that in my tap water fixed my problems.  
I also use pebble/humidity trays, boil water in an electric kettle and put that in the tray when it gets low. I just recently won the battle of my calathea’s determined death spiral.  
They need to put a warning sign on these at the store lol Good luck to you!

My Calathea struggled and struggled until I put it in a humidity tank. It had half a leaf left. I keep the humidity around 60% and it now has 6 leaves with only 1 brown spot and 3 new leaves about to unfurl 🥰
