Looking to move up without overshadowing someone

I am in a contract senior role with a new company (about 7 months in) and very much experienced but has always been challenged with speaking up for fear of stepping on someone who is now my direct manager. I like her a lot and even tho she is much younger, I know I can learn a lot since she has been with the company a lot longer than I am. Looking for some insights on how to frame my ideas or opinions during calls without overstepping and still stay humble about it.

Appreciate any ideas. Thanks
