Creating an encrypted LUKS drive + RAID1 with a drive has existing data

How would one go about creating a RAID1 volume when one disk already has data that is LUKS encrypted. All the tutorials I see online assume that I am creating a LUKS encrypted RAID1 volume from scratch. Should I just move my data and wipe my drive? This is possible with one of my devices as I have very few files that I want to keep. However, I had another device where this wouldn’t be a simple task as I have a lot of data on it.

Here are some guides I found that assume INITIAL/new setups, but not when you already have data on one drive:

Looking for some options to go about this.

Also, I had to edit the links i posted as it wouldn’t let me embed media as this is my first post.
