Photos truly do not do her justice she is (horizontally) ginormous and VERY bushy!! I got her probably year-ish ago and she’s about 4 times the size now that she was. Was just wondering should I prune her up a bit or just leave her to her own devices? I get rid of any dead leaves of course but she doesn’t even have any now

Plants in this genus can really sprawl when they are happy because they’re rhizome based (have underground stems that grow horizontally and send up new shoots, and thus the plant gets bigger and fuller). You can keep trimming away but the leaves will keep coming back lol.
There is nothing wrong with it at the moment so I don’t think you need to do anything, until it outgrows this pot too XD
If you want a smaller plant you would need to unpot it and divide the root ball (wiggle some sections of the plant off the main bunch and repot them elsewhere, or I guess throw them out if you don’t want another plant).
I‘d only prune if it’s getting too big for your space.
