How to Find Meaning in the Life You Already Have with Joshua Luke Smith

How to Find Meaning in the Life You Already Have with Joshua Luke Smith

Elizabeth speaks with poet and artist Joshua Luke Smith. 21/05/2025

Driven by a hunger for more, Joshua Luke Smith opens up about his journey with ADHD, addiction, and the unravelling and deconstruction of his faith. In this honest conversation, he invites us to lay down hustle culture, live poetically, and rediscover the sacred in the life we already have. 

Joshua reflects on his childhood as a missionary kid in Pakistan, the challenges of identity and belonging, and his path toward sobriety, stillness, and spiritual depth. This is a conversation about presence, recovery, and the radical power of living poetically in a world that never stops moving.
