Does anyone know how to fix this? My succulent is turning brown. It’s getting some shade/full sun everyday, and I’m currently doing what Planta is telling me to do.

Echeveria will often lose bottom leaves. Nothing wrong with that but if they feel mushy it’s likely from overwatering so just pull off the dead leaves an don’t water again until it is very dry. Other than that the new growth looks very healthy in the center.

Hi! When Echeveria leaves turn yellow and kind of mushy that’s a sign of overwatering. Also, some Echeveria already have a powdery presence which is natural for them, however, if this powdery substance is new to your plant it may be powdery mildew. Hope that helps! 😊
