The message says that you don’t have to choose a career or family and also it’s not wrong to reach higher in your career.

Her message: “Don’t leave before you leave” – is referring to women of child bearing age, planning to take time out to have children and in their mind start leaving behind their ambition and stopped striving before it’s time for maternity leave.
