When converting a direct speech sentence into indirect speech, the following changes occur:

Tense shift: The tense of the verb in the direct speech is usually shifted to the past tense in the indirect speech. In this case, "is" becomes "was."
Pronoun change: The pronouns in the direct speech are often changed to match the perspective of the speaker. In this case, "my" becomes "her."
Conjunction change: The conjunction "that" is used to introduce the indirect speech.
