Early life and education
Raskin was born in Manhattan, New York, on June 20, 1989, to a Jewish family. She attended the University of Southern California and received a Bachelor's of Fine Arts degree. In 2020, she began a clinical psychology program at Pepperdine University with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy.
Raskin has come out in the public eye about her mental health. She was diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) when she was 4 years old and continued to suffer with anxiety and depression. She took drugs until she was 21, then took a seven-year break, which included therapy. She went back to drugs and felt backlash about weight gain due to side effects when she was 28.
Career
Raskin was a writer at BuzzFeed video where she was featured in a number of videos, both by herself and with Dunn. She and Dunn left in 2015 to commit to the JBU YouTube channel. They cited the difficulties of working with Buzzfeed, who wanted to limit their time on JBU. They stated it was the scariest decision they'd had to make.
Raskin and Dunn co-created the "Just Between Us" YouTube channel in 2014. A self-described odd couple, they play versions of themselves in sketch comedy videos and discuss relevant topics such as mental health, friendships, and relationships in their show of the same name, Just Between Us. They also started a podcast under the same name in March 2019, where they have guests discuss topics and answer prompts. This includes a section entitled "Hypotheticals", where Raskin asks Dunn and guests questions such as, "Would you stay with this cheater?"
With the help of Stitcher, Raskin created Gossip, a 12-episode scripted podcast, which chronicles three female friends as they meet each week to discuss gossip surrounding their suburban town. The podcast ran from June 2018 to August 2018.
Raskin's first novel, I Hate Everyone But You, co-written with Gaby Dunn, was published on September 5, 2017. The sequel, Please Send Help, was released on July 16, 2019.
