Probably she is perceiving it wrongly?
Explaining things to a coworker seems pretty normal, unless you're unnecessarily repeating yourself and they already told you they got it, or is intentionally public like in a meeting
No matter how much experience they have, everyone knows some detail others don't
I always run through a colleague how I have done X, not that they don't know, but they might not know, or they might suggest improvements, either way more than one person gets informed
Especially in business, you might have to run the same process dozens of time with the same people until it is clear how it is going to be implemented
Accusing someone of explaining too much seems like overreacting. A more worrying problem would be under explaining
