How does one fix the issue of not writable paths with conda?

Why do I see the following error when using conda (usually when installing packages or making new envs) and how do I fix it:

Verifying transaction: | WARNING conda.core.path_actions:verify(963): Unable to create environments file. Path not writable.
  environment location: /Users/brandomiranda/.conda/environments.txt

or

Preparing transaction: done
Verifying transaction: - WARNING conda.core.path_actions:verify(963): Unable to create environments file. Path not writable.
  environment location: /Users/brandomiranda/.conda/environments.txt

done
Executing transaction: - WARNING conda.core.envs_manager:register_env(52): Unable to register environment. Path not writable or missing.
  environment location: /Users/brandomiranda/miniconda3/envs/myenv
  registry file: /Users/brandomiranda/.conda/environments.txt
done

a detailed outline of what I did can be found on the following gitissue:

https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/7267

which really isn't anything too fancy except re-install conda from scratch and run the following command:

bash Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh

and it installed this version of conda:

❯ conda -V
conda 4.7.12

Example of command causing me the warnings:

conda create -n myenv python=3.6

More errors when I install packages with conda:

Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: done
