About Deserve Better

You Found This Place for a Reason

Hey, I'm Malia. I built Deserve Better because I spent too many years giving more than I got — in friendships, in relationships, in business deals. I know what it feels like to be lied to, taken advantage of, and left wondering what you did wrong. Spoiler: it wasn't you.

This isn't a polished self-help brand run by someone who has it all figured out. It's a collection of things I wish I'd had — real guidance, real strategies, real permission to want better.

I've been screwed over by businesses, ghosted by people I trusted, and stuck in patterns I didn't understand until I started doing the work. These guides and journals are everything I learned — and everything I needed when I was in the thick of it.

Deserve Better is for people who are done being the bigger person for everyone except themselves. You deserve better. That's not a tagline. That's the whole point.

Why Deserve Better

“This isn't self-help fluff. These are real tools from someone who's been burned, betrayed, and had to rebuild from scratch.”

“I didn't realize how much I was holding in until I started working through this. It helped me finally put words to things I'd never been able to say out loud.”

Journal customer

Verified customer

“Bought it on a whim and ended up staying up until 2am. It cracked something open in me I didn't know needed opening.”
