Mechanics questions for you dblade: If she’s holding something heavy and jumps, she basically needs to dodge the item, drop the item, or react quickly as she touches down? And, by touching the ground, shoes or artificial flooring, or being above a basement don’t cause a problem, do they? Helps my imagination to center.

Once she loses contact with the ground by jumping, she begins to shrink back to normal. It’s not instantaneous so she has a little bit of time to react (a few seconds). Technically she could jump with the heavy object and it would continue in the trajectory she was going since she had already exerted her super strength to give it motion, but she would shrink down as she flew through the air. With her massive leg strength she could make some impressive leaps but she would shrink in mid-air.

As long as the object or surface she is on is in contact with the ground she is okay. If she was on an airplane in flight she would be unable to trigger her power, but once it landed her connection to the earth would be reestablished and she could use her power as normal.
