Helicopter boss who expects me to be independent…???

Work as a project manager who also does a good bit of writing for the company. I’m a much better writer than project manager, but I do both well. My supervisor is consistently getting frustrated with me because I’m not being proactive or getting ahead, but I feel paralyzed because when I have moved forward or been proactive she has scolded me for not keeping her in the loop or not going through her first. I don’t really know what to do at this point. I really love my work and job but she makes this so stressful. If I had more freedom I feel like I could get so much more done, but I’m literally writing this while I wait on her to meet with me so she can approve me reaching out to people externally.
