Bernadette Hagans on Modelling, Call of Duty & Losing Her Leg

 

Welcome to Pub Chats & A Pint, a podcast series sponsored by Harp Lager where we sit down in a local pub with someone interesting from Northern Ireland.

Today we're in Southside Social on Botanic Avenue and are joined by Bernadette Hagans: a presenter, amputee model, gamer, streamer, charity ambassador, content creator, Call of Duty competitor and local inspiration.

In this episode we talk about:

  • What it was like to receive a rare cancer diagnosis and keep it a secret

  • Maintaining a positive outlook on life after losing a leg

  • “Being the energy you want to attract”

  • Playing Call Of Duty competitively

  • Meeting Terry Bradley

  • Her modelling career

  • How she’s used her pain to gives back to others

  • The kindest thing someone’s ever done for her

  • And everything you’ve wanted to ask an amputee but were too afraid to ask
