You should just see if she will eat while she is in shed or in the blue cycle. My snake has eaten both times she was about to shed, and i didn't have any problems. Some snakes will eat during shed and some won't so you have to see which one yours is. I wouldn't worry about a regurge due to being in the shedding process so much. Also i'd like to note there is a search option for cs, and it will answer your question, i created a thread of this exact same question a few weeks ago. Hope this helped.

I don't feed while my snakes are in shed. The reason i no longer do so, is that feeding in shed caused my one fella to digest verrrry slowly, leaving the prey item bump visible for many days. One reason for a regurgitated meal is that is begins to decompose before it is digested properly.
I wouldn't worry that delaying a meal, or even skipping a meal during shed would cause any real growth setbacks, seeing as in the wild they tend to hide away during these times, and usually don't eat.
IMO, they should be left alone to concentrate their energy on sloughing off a nice complete shed, and can chow down when they are comfortable enough to "hunt" again.
